Abstract
A luggage compartment cover for a motor vehicle has a bearing shaft extending between two bucket-shaped side parts, which supports a flat structure that can be rolled and unrolled, such as a concealing cover. At least one of the side parts is axially movable with respect to a bearing axis of the bearing shaft between a release position, in which the side part is released from a mount which is integral with the vehicle, and a locking position, in which the side part is locked in the mount which is integral with the vehicle. At least one side part has a releasable lock for locking the side part in the release position. In another embodiment, the luggage compartment cover has a locking device which locks a side part axially relative to the bearing shaft and which is unlockable with an actuating button. In another embodiment, the luggage compartment cover has a releasable lock which is constructed in the manner of a ballpoint pen lock.
