Abstract: Disclosed is a storage compartment, in particular a storage compartment for a vehicle, comprising a cover flap which is connected to a carrier panel such that a storage space can be formed between the carrier panel and the cover flap, wherein the cover flap comprises at least two segments and each of the segments is connected to at least one other of the segments movably about a respective axis, wherein the cover flap is movable, by pivoting the segments, between a stable first position and a stable second position, in which the storage space is enlarged compared to the first position. When the cover flap assumes an instable third position between the first position and the second position, is subjected to a force in the direction of the first position or in the direction of the second position. The application further relates to an assembly which includes the storage compartment.
