Claims9
A storage compartment, comprising an interior space for inserting and storing objects, a roll top for covering the interior space having a width that changes in a longitudinal direction of the roll top, a slide guidance mechanism by way of which the roll top is guided so as to move back and forth between a closed position covering the interior space of the storage compartment and an open position exposing the interior space, and a panel that is disposed on one side of the roll top so as to shift transversely to a movement direction of the roll top, wherein the storage compartment comprises drive means for transmitting a mechanical movement between the roll top and the panel so that the panel shifts transversely to the roll top in keeping with a change in width of the roll top during a movement of the roll top.
