Abstract
A built-in, movable, object support for installation in a console, or the like, including a housing having two opposite first side walls and an opening defined by and between the first side walls. An insert is installed through the opening in the housing. The insert has second opposite sides opposed to respective ones of the first side walls. The insert has a front closure wall which serves as a support for an object when the insert is out of the housing. Object holding and support elements are at and above the closure wall. Converging guide ribs on the housing first side walls and slide pieces on the insert second sides engage the ribs. The orientation of the ribs are such that the insert turns with reference to the housing as it moves in and out of the housing due to the guidance of the ribs. The closure wall of the insert is substantially horizontal for supporting an object with the insert out of the housing. Additional object holding elements are supported at the closure wall of the insert.
