gloveboxes
Car storage cubbies
Gloveboxes is the plural of glovebox, the small storage compartment built into a car's dashboard in front of the passenger seat: Check the glovebox for the registration.
Originally designed to hold driving gloves, it now typically contains manuals, insurance documents, and accumulated clutter.
In laboratory settings, a glovebox is a sealed container with built-in gloves allowing manipulation of hazardous or sensitive materials.
