Abstract
A storage device for a vehicle has a guide unit and a hinge element, which can be guided on the guide unit and which is guided for sliding in the manner of a drawer along the guide unit. The hinge element has a contact surface and at least one side wall angled thereto. The side wall has a plurality of fold regions, such that a first hinge part and a second hinge part are formed between the fold lines in such a way that the storage device, in a usage position, forms a stable base surface for objects.

A storage device for a vehicle, comprising:
- at least one guide unit which is arrangeable on a vehicle interior component;
- at least one hinge element which is guided on and along the guide unit so as to be displaced in a drawer-type manner on a curved or angled-away movement path, wherein
- the hinge element has a rest face and at least one side wall which is angled away with respect thereto,
- the side wall has a first end, at which the side wall bears against the rest face, and a second end which lies opposite the first end,
- the side wall has a multiplicity of folding regions which comprise a first folding line, a second folding line and a third folding line,
- the first folding line is positioned between the second folding line and the third folding line, with a result that a first hinge part is formed between the first folding line and the second folding line, and a second hinge part is formed between the first folding line and the third folding line,
- the second folding line and the third folding line are of non-parallel configuration with respect to one another, and a first spacing between the second folding line and the third folding line at the first end is smaller than a second spacing between the second folding line and the third folding line at the second end, and
- a lever element is attached on each first folding line, which lever element is guided in the guide unit, in order to transfer the first hinge part and the second hinge part selectively into a state which is folded into a peak or trough.
