A closing device for a storage compartment, in particular of a motor vehicle, having a closing element, slidable on a frame, for releasing or closing a frame opening of the frame, and a locking device for locking the closing element in at least one sliding position, wherein the locking device has at least one actuating handle, which is disposed on the closing element and projects from the closing element for gripping, and is coupled to the locking device for locking and releasing the locking. It is provided that the actuating handle is disposed displaceable on the closing element only in one plane, in particular parallel to the frame. The invention further relates to a storage compartment for a motor vehicle with such a closing device.

There is provided a locking device including: a base member; a lock bar member; and a drive member. The base member includes a pair of facing surfaces sandwiching and supporting the lock bar member. The lock bar member includes a lock portion, a first bar portion extending in a sliding direction of the lock bar member, and a second bar portion extending in a direction intersecting the sliding direction and connecting the first bar portion and the lock portion. A first stepped portion is formed on the first bar portion, and a second stepped portion is formed on the second bar portion. Each of the facing surfaces is provided with step portions each of which faces the first stepped portion and the second stepped portion respectively in the direction intersecting the sliding direction at positions sandwiched between the first stepped portion and the second stepped portion.

A sliding lid structure includes a sheet base material capable of being curved in a sliding direction; and a plurality of ribs disposed on a lower surface side of the sheet base material at intervals in a sheet base material sliding direction. Two ends of the rib engage guide grooves formed at two sides of an opening of a device main unit and having curved groove parts. The sheet base material includes axially supported parts positioned on two sides of the lower surface side of the base material and provided at predetermined intervals in a longitudinal direction. The rib includes rib uppers arranged inside the axially supported parts on the two sides and attachable to and detachable from a sheet base material lower, shaft supports engaging the axially supported parts, and projections fitting into the guide grooves; and is rotatably or swingably supported with respect to the sheet base material.

A locking device for a container or lid (2) is actuatable between an opened and closed position in relation to a housing element (1). A guide pin (4) arranged on a swiveling lever (5) engages into a connecting link (3). The connecting link (3) has a slope (9) by which the pin (4) glides in the direction (16) of a dead stop (7) arranged on a container or lid (2) under the influence of external acceleration forces to bring a lever (5) into a position blocking movement of the container or lid (2).

A container is disclosed that has a housing and a lid. The lid has a planar portion and a latch that is freely movable parallel to the planar portion of the lid. The latch has a retention feature and a first reference surface that is perpendicular to the planar portion of the lid. There is a latch mechanism coupled to the housing that has an engagement element configured to engage the retention feature of the latch and a first alignment feature having a first alignment surface. The first alignment feature is configured to laterally displace the latch in a first direction such that the first reference surface aligns with the first alignment surface when the lid is brought together with the housing with the fastener laterally displaced away from the engagement element in a second direction that is opposite to the first direction.

A door hinge assembly for securing access to a security compartment is disclosed in which the door is received within a recess of a door frame that is in turn fixed to a security compartment. The door rotates between closed and open positions by rotating about a pivot connection that is formed between the door and the door frame by a high security gooseneck. The gooseneck is fixed to the door and has a gooseneck channel formed of first and second wall portions and a lower portion connecting the two wall portions. One of the wall portions is connected to a pivot point beneath the door frame and the other to the connection portion connected to the door.
