Abstract: A pneumatic shade includes a plurality of slats, a plurality of first fold members, and a plurality of second fold members. Each slat is elongated and includes and spans laterally between opposite longitudinal edges. Each of the first- and second-fold members are elongated and co-extend longitudinally with the slats. Each first fold member is attached to longitudinal edges of the respective adjacent slats. Each second fold member is attached to longitudinal edges of respective adjacent slats and are alternatingly orientated with respect to the first fold members such that each slat spans laterally between a respective first fold member and second fold member. Each of the first fold members and the second fold members are adapted to move between a folded state and an unfolded state upon application of pressurized air.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are for providing an accessory tray for a vehicle are disclosed. The apparatus may include a console adjacent to a front passenger seat, the front passenger seat having a seat pan and/or structure and a seat cushion. An accessory tray is positioned under a front portion of the seat cushion when the accessory tray is in a closed position. The accessory tray has a first end coupled to the seat pan adjacent to the console via a pivot mechanism, and a second free end. In operation, the accessory tray pivots via the pivot mechanism, causing the second free end of the accessory tray to move toward the console or perpendicular to the seat in open position where the accessory tray is adjacent to the console to receive an accessory item.
