The lid assembly (100) includes at least a first frame member (104) adapted to be pivotally attached proximate the compartment opening (118). The first frame member (104) has an opening (136) that allows access therethrough to at least a portion of the interior of the compartment when the first frame member is closed against the perimeter of the compartment opening. The lid assembly includes a second frame member (106) that is pivotally attached to the first frame member and either by itself or in cooperation with a lid cover (112) provides a closure for the opening in the first frame member. The first frame member carries a latch (158) for securing it about the opening, and the second frame member carries a latch (192) for securing it to the first frame member.</p> |
