Closure device for a compartment

摘要

A closure device for a compartment, in particular a glove compartment, which is able to be closed by a flap, in motor vehicles, wherein the flap is designed to be displaceable by a force in a reversible manner between a released position and a blocked position in the direction of the action of a force, wherein the flap has a pivoting mechanism with a lock, wherein the lock is designed to be movable into the blocked position due to the action of a force and then comes into engagement with the locking element.

主权项

1. A closure device for a vehicle glove compartment, said closure device comprising:
a flap that functions as a latch handle and configured to pivot to an open position and pivot to a closed position of the glove compartment, the flap displaceable to a blocked position by a first force acting on an outer surface of the flap in a first direction, wherein the flap comprises a pivoting mechanism with a lock, the flap movable by the first force to the blocked position where the lock is moved into engagement with a locking element to prevent pivoting of the flap and thereby lock the flap in the blocked position, wherein when the first force is removed from acting on the outer surface, said flap is displaceable to a released position by a second force acting in a second direction opposite to the first direction, in which when the flap is in the released position the flap may pivot from the released position to the open position or to the closed position, and wherein a spring provides the second force that biases the flap in the second direction.
