Abstract: A coverable container for the seat-area of vehicles, having a box-like housing which is open towards the top, and a flap or cover which can be pivoted on the housing and is designed as an arm rest for a seat occupant. To provide a vertically adjustable arm rest, a support lever is articulated on the underside of the flap at a distance from the pivot axis of the flap, which support lever, by means of a latching lug, can latch, into latching grooves arranged one above the other. The support lever is guided, by means of a guide pin, in a guide track which has two separate, spaced-apart track sections connected by upper and lower junctions to provide a continuous guide track.
