Lid, especially for a motor vehicle

The device is supported in a hinge yoke (17,18) relative to a supporting body (2) and the hinge yoke is pivotably mounted in a hinge (5,6) with a hinge shaft and can be fixed in at least one position. A body (3,4) for elastic, damping absorption of the forces acting on the cover part is provided in the hinge and consists at least partly of a material that is more elastic than the hinge yoke and supporting body.
