Abstract
A storage device is provided for objects in a motor vehicle, that includes, but is not limited to a side wall which laterally defines a receiving space for the objects, as well as an elongate, elastic band element, which is mounted in a hinged manner in the region of its ends facing away from each other in the side wall. The band element can be deformed from a first stable curved position into a second stable, oppositely curved position in which it projects into the receiving space. A band-shaped molding is mounted in the band element, which molding projects from the curved plane of the band element.
Claims20
A storage device for an object in a motor vehicle, comprising:
- a side wall that laterally defines a receiving space for the object;
- an elongate and elastic band element that is mounted in a hinged manner in a region of ends facing away from each other in the side wall, and
- a band-shaped elastic molding mounted in the elongate and elastic band element,
- wherein the elongate and elastic band element is deformed from a first stable curved position into a second stable and oppositely curved position in which the elongate and elastic band element is adapted to project into the receiving space,
- wherein the band-shaped molding is adapted to occupy a curved position corresponding to the first and second stable curved positions of the elongate and elastic band element and the band-shaped molding is adapted to transfer to project from a curved plane of the elongate and elastic band element.
A storage device for an object in a motor vehicle, comprising:
- a side wall that laterally defines a receiving space for the object;
- and
- an elongate and elastic band element that is mounted in a hinged manner in a region of ends facing away from each other in the side wall,
- wherein the elongate and elastic band element is deformed from a first stable curved position into a second stable and oppositely curved position in which the elongate and elastic band element is adapted to project into the receiving space,
- wherein a band-shaped molding is mounted in the elongate and elastic band element and the band-shaped molding is adapted to project from a curved plane of the elongate and elastic band element,
- wherein the band-shaped molding and the elongate and elastic band element are an elastic part, and
- wherein in a longitudinal extension, the elongate and elastic band element comprises two slots that are disposed substantially parallel to one another and substantially penetrate through the elongate and elastic band element, and the band-shaped molding is disposed between the two slots, the band-shaped molding connected to the elongate and elastic band element in the hinged manner in an area of ends facing away from each other.
