A container 101 with cover or lid 103 for holding objects in a vehicle, wherein the cover 103 opens in two different directions by swivelling around a first 104 or second 105 hinge; the container 101 has one bearing 106,107 per hinge 104,105, and each hinge consists of a first 600 and second 402 section (Fig. 6), the first 600 of larger cross-sectional area than the second 402. The bearings 106,107 (may be chamfered) may each have a duct 700 (Fig. 7) of cross-sectional area equal to that of the first section 600. The cross-sectional area of the second section 402 may be small enough to allow the hinge 104,105 to be removed from the bearing. The cover 103 may have control elements 108,109 for moving the hinges 104,105 between two positions. The hinges may run parallel to each other. The apparatus may also have four hinges and bearings; the four hinges may be mechanically joined in pairs.
