Covering for a gap in a vehicle

摘要

A covering for a gap between a rear seatback and a baggage compartment covering in a vehicle which has no components permanently connection to the rear seatback is provided. The covering is implemented to slide past the front edge of the baggage compartment covering, and thus covers the gap in each position of the rear seatback. The covering has a covering flap, a hinge and a restoring device. The covering flap is linked to the front edge of the baggage compartment covering or to a hinge support attached to the baggage compartment covering using the hinge and projects forward toward the seatback. The restoring device generates an opposing force, which must be overcome by the seatback to pivot the covering flap out of the at least approximately horizontal base position over the gap.
