LOCKING MECHANISM FOR A STORAGE COMPARTMENT WITH A LID AND A STORAGE COMPARTMENT WITH SUCH A LOCKING MECHANISM

摘要

The disclosure relates to a locking mechanism for a storage compartment with a lid, such as for a storage compartment with a lid for a vehicle interior. The disclosure further relates to a storage compartment with a lid comprising such a locking mechanism. The locking mechanism comprises a first stop, a locking element and a collision element. The locking element has a hook, wherein the hook for locking the locking mechanism is pivotable from a first position into a second position and vice versa. In the second position, the hook engages at least in part behind the first stop. In the event of an accident the locking element can be plastically deformed so that an opening of the storage compartment is prevented.
