ABSTRACT:
A glove box is pivotally mounted at a lower end thereof in an opening defined in an instrument panel. The glove box is angularly movable from the opening to an opening limit position in which the glove box is locked and partly opens the opening. The opening is defined by a partition assembly which includes a side partition having a rail. The glove box has a roll rotatably mounted on an arm coupled to a shaft rotatably supported on the glove box. When the glove box is in the opening limit position, the roll is engaged by the rail. To service an accessory device, such as the inflator of an air bag or the filter of an air-conditioning unit, disposed behind the opening, the shaft is rotated to turn the arm to displace the roll out of engagement with the rail, thus allowing the glove box to be tilted from the opening limit position to a fully open position in which the glove box fully opens the opening. The serviceman can now reach the accessory device directly through the opening.
