Abstract

A storage compartment including a roll top, which is trapezoidal from the front, and pivotable panels disposed next to the roll top. The panels are driven mechanically by way of radial cams, which are rotationally fixed to drive wheels around which the roll top runs.

Claims (9)

1. A storage compartment, comprising an interior space for inserting and storing objects, a roll top for covering the interior space having a width that changes in a longitudinal direction of the roll top, a slide guidance mechanism by way of which the roll top is guided so as to move back and forth between a closed position covering the interior space of the storage compartment and an open position exposing the interior space, and a panel that is disposed on one side of the roll top so as to shift transversely to a movement direction of the roll top, wherein the storage compartment comprises drive means for transmitting a mechanical movement between the roll top and the panel so that the panel shifts transversely to the roll top in keeping with a change in width of the roll top during a movement of the roll top.

2. The storage compartment according to claim 1 , wherein the roll top is trapezoidal in shape.

3. The storage compartment according to claim 1 , wherein the roll top is guided by a chain drive across a circumference of a drive wheel, which moves the panel by way of a radial cam.

4. The storage compartment according to claim 3 , wherein the storage compartment comprises a drive system for the drive wheel.

5. A storage compartment according to claim 1 , wherein the panel is disposed transversely to the roll top.

6. A storage compartment according to claim 1 , wherein the panel is disposed at a rear end of the interior space of the storage compartment, in an opening direction of the roll top.

7. A storage compartment according to claim 1 , wherein a rear end of the storage compartment, in an opening direction of the roll top, is disposed beneath a covering, and the panel is disposed beneath an edge of the covering on the storage compartment side.

8. A storage compartment according to claim 1 , wherein the panel can be pivoted about a pivot axis that is perpendicular to the movement direction and to a surface area of the roll top in the closed position.

9. A storage compartment according to claim 1 , wherein the roll top comprises lamellae, which are pivotably connected to one another in the manner of a chain movable in one dimension.
