Abstract

A removable cargo liner for use in a cargo area. The removable cargo liner comprises a plurality of separate and distinct panels, wherein each of the plurality of panels has a multi-layer assembly having a lower layer defining one of a hook and a loop feature. The removable cargo liner further comprises a single-sided member connectable to the cargo area having one of a hook and a loop feature, and an optional double-sided intermediate member having a first portion and an opposing second portion.

Claims (25)

1. A removable cargo liner assembly for use in a cargo area, said removable cargo liner comprising:

an upper multi-layer cargo liner assembly having a lower layer defining one of a hook and a loop feature, said upper multi-layer cargo liner being positionable in the cargo area of a vehicle;

a single-sided member connectable to the cargo area defining one of a hook and a loop feature; and

a double-sided intermediate member having a first portion and an opposing second portion, said first portion having one of a loop and a hook feature complementary to said lower layer to define a first releasable bonding connection, said second portion having one of a loop and a hook feature complementary to said single-sided member to define a second releasable bonding connection,

wherein said first releasable bonding connection is more difficult to separate than said second releasable bonding connection.

2. The removable cargo liner according to claim 1 wherein said second releasable bonding connection can withstand greater joining-releasing cycles than said first releasable bonding connection.

3. The removable cargo liner according to claim 1 wherein said upper multi-layer cargo liner assembly comprises:

an upper layer for supporting cargo; and

a compliant intermediate layer fixedly coupled between said upper layer and said lower layer.

4. The removable cargo liner according to claim 3 wherein said upper layer is a composite layer.

5. The removable cargo liner according to claim 3 wherein said upper layer is a TPO/TPR composite.

6. The removable cargo liner according to claim 3 wherein said compliant intermediate layer is a water-proof, closed-cell foam.

7. The removable cargo liner according to claim 1 wherein said single-sided member is adhesively connectable to the cargo area.

8. A removable cargo liner for use in a cargo area, said removable cargo liner comprising:

a plurality of separate and distinct cargo panels, each of said plurality of cargo panels having a multi-layer assembly having a lower layer defining one of a hook and a loop feature, each of said plurality of cargo panels being sized to be positioned within the cargo area of a vehicle or trailer;

a single-sided member connectable to the cargo area defining one of a hook and a loop feature; and

a double-sided intermediate member having a first portion and an opposing second portion, said first portion having one of a loop and a hook feature complementary to and joinable with said lower layer to define a first releasable bonding connection, said second portion having one of a loop and a hook feature complementary to and joinable with said single-sided member to define a second releasable bonding connection,

wherein said first releasable bonding connection has a higher tenacity than said second releasable bonding connection.

9. The removable cargo liner according to claim 8 wherein said second releasable bonding connection can withstand greater joining-releasing cycles than said first releasable bonding connection.

10. The removable cargo liner according to claim 8 wherein each of said plurality of panels comprises:

an upper layer; and

a compliant intermediate layer fixedly coupled between said upper layer and said lower layer.

11. The removable cargo liner according to claim 10 wherein said upper layer is a composite layer.
