Preferably, they are also spaced apart along the second axis B in a manner equidistant from each other .
  • the rigid segment 9 ' adj acent to the front wall 2c is connected to it by means of the flexible portion 9 ' ’ so as to allow the total overturning of the lid 9 outside the structure 2 thus entirely freeing the first seat 3 .
  • the structure 2 also defines an indentation 12 configured to facilitate the extraction of the lid 9 with respect to the first seat 3 .
  • the indentation 12 is made on the planar portion 2d' adj acent to the front edge of the opening of the first seat 3 .
  • the indentation 12 is made on the lid 9 so as to allow the overturning of a segment 9 ' on the following one along the second axis B .
  • the driver can, by means of the indentation 12 , overturn the lid 9 and insert it in the housing 11 so as to free the first seat 3 ( Figures 2-4 ) .
  • the driver will be able to take the lid 9 again from the housing 11 and place it again on the shoulder 8 so as to insulate again the first seat 3 and obtain the resting shel f ( Figures 1-3 ) .
  • the driver can, by means of the indentation 12 , overturn the segments 9 ' on each other ( as is illustrated in the sequence of Figures 7A-7B-7C ) reducing the space of plane along the second axis B and freeing, progress ively and according to need, acces s to the space of the f irst seat 3 , up to a maximum opening corresponding to the total overturning of the lid 9 outside the structure 2 .
  • the illustrated sequence can be performed in reverse for closing the access to the first seat 3 and repropose the entire resting shel f ( Figures 5- 6 ) .
  • the proposed support system it is possible to provide a versatile use of containment space of obj ects , by means of the f irst seat , or of support plane by means of the lid .
  • the lid selectively removable from the space of the first seat 3 and which can be housed in the structure 2 prevents from losing the lid with consequent loss of time .
  • a similar ef fect is obtained should the lid be connected to the structure 2 , as in the second embodiment .
  • the housing in the shoulder 8 or the presence of a flexible portion 9 ' ’ decreases the noises caused by the road vibrations .
  • the proposed system does not provide for the use of hinges or leverages as in the known systems and thus results to be less expensive and less bulky .
  • the electrical connection means 6 can be housed in one of the seats 3 , 4 , or on the external surface of the structure 2 thus providing a great positioning versatility so as to comply with the requirements of di f ferent countries .
  • the shapes of the structure and the number of seats can vary, as well as the number of lids with which the support system is equipped or its shape .
