Abstract
A storage compartment has a bottom pivotable by a first hinged joint out of a substantially horizontal position into a substantially vertical position. A wall is pivotably mounted by a second hinged joint on the bottom and pivotable out of a position lying flat against said bottom into a position standing away from the bottom. A driving mechanism pivots the wall out of the position lying flat against the bottom into the position standing away from the bottom, and vice versa, as the bottom is pivoted out of the substantially vertical position into the substantially horizontal position.
