Abstract

For obtaining a damped movement into the opened position in a glove compartment lid in a motor vehicle, a piston-cylinder unit constructed as brake is provided whose piston rod is operatively connected with a retaining member pivotally connected at the glove compartment lid. The air compressed during the opening operation by the piston leaves through a calibrated opening into the free atmosphere.
