Abstract
A compartment, such as a glove compartment of a motor vehicle includes a lid and a movable drawer. A lever system is operatively coupled between the lid and the drawer such that upon opening or closing the lid, the drawer is moved. The lever system may provide a transmission ratio so that optimum adaptation to the spatial conditions is possible. Furthermore, it is possible to pull the storage drawer relatively far forwards even when the compartment lid is only opened slightly.
Claims19
A compartment lid of a motor vehicle, the lid comprising:
- a storage drawer which is guided in a guide;
- and
- a driving element for driving the storage drawer forwards on opening the lid, wherein the driving element is attached to the lid on one portion and is connected to the storage drawer on another portion, the driving element being part of a transmission lever system which is supported outside the lid.
A storage compartment apparatus, comprising:
- a movable lid having a guide, the lid being movable between a closed position and a fully opened position;
- a storage drawer guided by the guide;
- a lever system including a driving element for driving the storage drawer along the guide when the lid is moved between the closed and fully opened positions, one portion of the driving element being connected to the lid and another portion of the driving element being connected to the storage drawer.
An apparatus for a storage compartment, the apparatus comprising:
- a lid movable to a plurality of positions between a closed position and a fully open position;
- and
- a movable storage drawer operatively coupled to the lid;
- wherein the lid and storage drawer are operatively coupled such that movement of the lid into any one of the plurality of positions between the closed position and the fully open position causes a corresponding movement of the drawer so that access to the drawer can be obtained even when the lid is not in the fully open position.
