Abstract

A storage compartment is proposed for a vehicle interior, with a circumferential storage compartment wall, which extends at least substantially vertically and delimits a storage space, and with an insert, reversibly insertable into the storage compartment, with an outer wall and an inner wall, wherein the inner wall is designed partially circular in sections and wherein the insert has pressure elements on the inner wall in order to hold/fix at least one beverage container. The storage compartment is characterized in that an outer contour of the outer wall is substantially identical to an inner perimeter of the storage compartment wall, and in that first positioning elements are disposed on an inner side of the storage compartment wall and second positioning elements, corresponding to the first positioning elements, are disposed on an outer side of the outer wall and by interacting with the first positioning elements fix the insert in a predetermined position within the storage compartment.
