Abstract

A glove box, for motor vehicles is arranged beneath the instrument panel, and is provided with a lid pivotably mounted on it about a horizontal axis. A closing device secures the lid to the glove box. To reduce the risk of injury to vehicle occupants which results from the closing device, a lock part of the closing device is arranged on the underside of the instrument panel with a latchbolt fastened inside a cavity on the inside of the lid and a latch which can be activated through a traction cable from a remote location is provided.
