Abstract: A locking device for a cover of a glove compartment of a motor vehicle is positioned so as to swivel on an associated frame and is held in the closed condition by two locking sections of the locking bar engaging behind an associated locking contour on the frame. The locking bars can be synchronously displaced from their locked position to the release position in order to open the cover by way of an actuation element. In order to minimize installation space, especially in the area of the cover, the actuation element is positioned on the frame side and, for opening the cover, interacts with its locking section on the associated locking bar, displacing it in the opening direction, while the other locking bar is moved into its release position.

Abstract: A holding device for a beverage container has a carriage displaceable back and forth in a manner of a drawer between an inserted position and an extended position in which a beverage container is placeable on the carriage; a first holding element which is movably attached to the carriage; a control track arrangement for moving the holding element in an upward direction when the carriage is being extended and/or back in a downward direction when the carriage is being inserted, and in a moved-up position provides a lateral support for a beverage container placed on the carriage in the extended position, and a second control track arrangement which is offset from the first control track arrangement in a direction of displacement of the carriage, for moving the holding element in an upward and/or downward direction when the carriage is being extended and inserted.
