Abstract
A slidable tray assembly that covers and uncovers a compartment and has an anti-jamming feature. The slidable tray assembly can include a console with a compartment and a panel that can slide and extend over the compartment when in a closed position. The panel can be attached to the console and be operable to slide between the closed position and an open position. In addition, the panel can have a plurality of spaced-apart protrusions extending therefrom and the plurality of spaced-apart protrusions prevent an object from becoming jammed or located between the panel and the console and thus prevent jamming of sliding movement of the panel.
