ABSTRACT:
A closure member for vehicle compartment openings is pivotally connected along its upper edge to the vehicle by a horizontal swivel axis and is horizontally divided into an upper and a lower closure member part, which parts are pivotally connected to each other along a horizontal connecting axis. A secondary pressure spring extends between the upper and lower closure member parts for effecting relative pivotal movement therebetween toward an intermediate position in which the closure member parts are substantially perpendicular. A lock secures the upper closure member part to the vehicle until the lower closure member part reaches the intermediate position. A main pressure spring extends between the vehicle and the upper closure member part for pivoting the closure member after release of the lock into an end position exposing the compartment opening.
