  • Patent number: 12630065
    Abstract: An equipment device for the interior of a vehicle, having a pivot part mounted on a base to be pivotable between a first position and a second position and can be locked in a pivot position by a locking device. The locking device has a first stop associated with the pivot part, which stop, in a latching position, is engaged with a second stop associated with the base and is disengaged in a release position. The first or the second stop is associated with a movable latch, having a safety device that prevents the locking device from moving into the release position with a vehicle acceleration. The safety device includes a blocking device having an inertia element pivotable about a pivot axis and connected in terms of movement to a wall having a blocking surface. In a rest position of the blocking device, the latch is movable into the release position and, in a blocking position, movement of the latch is prevented by collision of the latch with the blocking surface.
