ABSTRACT:
A device for variable subdivision of a storage compartment, especially a trunk in an automobile, has partitions projecting upward from the storage compartment floor and connected with one another with articulation. Two of the partitions are articulated endwise to a storage compartment wall projecting vertically from the storage compartment floor and one partition is displaceable approximately at right angles to the storage compartment wall. To improve the functionality of the device so that it retains its selected spatial division reliably in all extended positions and remains safely secured to the storage compartment floor, a locking device is provided. The locking device acts between the displaceable partition and the floor of the storage compartment. The locking device has a lock on the partition side that is displaceably secured and operated manually, as well as a plurality of locking receptacles arranged in the displacement direction in a row in the floor of the storage compartment.
