Closing flap for vehicle door-side box, which is vertical in closed position and opens to horizontal position, with lever to close it if it opens when door is slammed

摘要

The closing flap (1) is vertical in the closed position. It can turn about an axis (5) into the vehicle cavity. If its weight causes it to open when the door is slammed, one arm (17) and the extension of the other arm (18) of a twin-arm lever exert a counterforce of greater torque than the opening force, so that the flap stays closed.
