Patent ID: 8905456

Claim:
A storage device for use in a passenger compartment of a vehicle and having a receptacle space for storing objects that is formed by a bottom surface and an inner wall, the storage device comprising: at least two bearing devices that are realized on oppositely positioned regions in the inner wall and serve for accommodating lateral edge sections of a partition that flatly extends between these lateral edge sections; and the partition is accommodated by the bearing devices of the inner wall on its oppositely positioned lateral edge sections in such a way that the partition can be reversibly deformed between at least two stable deformation states with sectionally opposing curvatures such that the receptacle space is divided into separate partial receptacle spaces in at least one deformation state, wherein the partition has a carrier matrix and features at least one flexurally rigid carrier matrix reinforcing device that is realized in a form of a longitudinal profile on or through the carrier matrix and that extends transverse to a longitudinal direction (LR) of the partition, and wherein the carrier matrix comprises a first elastomeric material and the flexurally rigid carrier matrix reinforcing device comprises a second material that has a greater modulus of elasticity than the first elastomeric material.
