STORAGE COMPARTMENT FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE
The invention relates to a storage compartment for a motor vehicle, with a container (110) and a container lid (112) arranged pivotably on the container, a pivot lever (116) arranged on the container lid, a first elastic element (120), the first end of which (122) is connected to the container and the second end (118) of which is connected to the pivot lever such that the first elastic element exerts a closing force and/or a closing moment on the container lid, and a locking element (126) which is mounted pivotably such that its inertia causes it to be brought, in the event of an impact of the motor vehicle, into a locking position in order to retain the pivot lever, wherein the locking element is mounted pivotably about the first end of the first elastic element, wherein the first elastic element is a dead-centre spring, and wherein the dead-centre spring is designed such that it exerts the closing force and/or the closing moment until an open position of the container lid does not exceed a dead-centre position (155).
