Abstract

L'invention concerne une console pliante pour un système de jeu vidéo de divertissement ou de simulation comprenant un cadre fixe doté d'un siège sur la partie supérieure et d'un compartiment de logement dans la partie inférieure, et un cadre mobile supportant une structure de support pliante destinée à une interface du système de jeu vidéo. Le cadre mobile est relié au cadre fixe de telle sorte qu'il coulisse horizontalement et de façon réversible d'une position de stockage à l'intérieur du compartiment de logement du cadre fixe vers une position d'utilisation réglable par rapport au cadre fixe. La structure de support pliante est une structure inclinable et maintient de manière rotative une étagère qui est reliée par un mécanisme articulé à la structure de support pliante et au cadre mobile et qui est conçue pour supporter une interface du système de jeu vidéo.
