Abstract

For the vertical alignment of a hinged covering flap, in particular of a glove-compartment cover, it is proposed to insert the hinge leaf on the cover side, accompanied by the spring-loaded engagement of teeth which protrude and engage into a row of teeth, into a channel fixedly disposed with respect to the vehicle body, and to secure the resulting alignment position with the use of a locking clip.
