Abstract

A storage compartment is covered by two lids that can be opened by a handle in such a manner that the two lids expose a storage compartment from the middle to the edges. An additional compartment is connected to the handle. This compartment, depending on the direction of motion of the handle, is pushed beneath a hider or is moved over the storage compartment in the direction of travel FR.
