ABSTRACT:
The invention concerns a storage compartment for a motor vehicle witha container (110) and a container lid (112), arranged on the container in a pivotal fashion,a pivoted lever (116), arranged on the container lid,a first elastic element (120), whose first end (122) is connected with the container and whose second end (118) is connected with the pivoted lever, so that the first elastic element acts upon the container lid with a closing force and/or a closing torque,a locking element (126), which is mounted in a pivotal fashion, so that, in case of an impact of the motor vehicle, said locking element, due to its mass inertia, will be brought into a locking position for locking the pivoted lever into position, whereby the locking element is mounted in such a way that it is pivotal around the first end of the first elastic element, whereby the first elastic element is a dead center spring, and whereby the dead center spring is embodied in such a way that it exerts the closing force and/or closing torque as long as the open position of the container lid does not exceed a dead center (155) position.
