Door retention system
A door retention system includes a housing defining a slot configured to accept the insertion of a door. The slot is deep enough to position a majority of the door within the slot. A sensor is positioned within the slot and configured to detect the presence of the door within the housing.
1. A door retention system, comprising:
a housing defining a plurality of slots each configured to accept a door, each slot defining an open end and a closed end on opposite ends of the slot wherein the slot is deep enough to position a majority of the door within the slot; and
a sensor positioned proximate the closed end of the slot and configured to detect the presence of the door within the housing.
2. The door retention system of claim 1 , wherein the sensor is a capacitive sensor which is configured to detect the presence of the door.
3. The door retention system of claim 1 , wherein the slot is deep enough to fully position the door within the slot.
4. The door retention system of claim 1 , further comprising:
a roller positioned at a bottom of the slot.
5. The door retention system of claim 1 , wherein a plurality of rollers are positioned at the bottom of the slot.
6. The door retention system of claim 1 , further comprising:
a retention strap coupled to the housing and extending across the slot.
7. The door retention system of claim 1 , further comprising:
a cushion positioned within the slot.
8. The door retention system of claim 1 , wherein the slot has a cross-sectional shape substantially similar to that of the door.
9. The door retention system of claim 1 , further comprising:
a light assembly positioned away from the housing and configured to illuminate the slot.
10. The door retention system of claim 1 , wherein the housing is positioned within a cargo area of a vehicle.
11. A vehicle door retention system, comprising:
a housing defining a plurality of slots each configured to accept the insertion of a vehicle door;
a roller and a cushion positioned within each slot and configured to engage the door; and
a sensor positioned proximate a closed end of each slot and configured to detect the presence of the door within the housing.
12. The vehicle door retention system of claim 11 , further comprising:
a light assembly positioned away from the housing and configured to illuminate one or more slots.
13. The vehicle door retention system of claim 11 , wherein each slot is deep enough to fully position the door within the slot.
14. The vehicle of claim 11 , further comprising:
a photoluminescent structure positioned within at least one slot.
15. A vehicle, comprising:
a cargo area positioned within an interior of the vehicle;
a housing defining a plurality of slots, each of the slots configured to accept the insertion of a vehicle door;
a light assembly positioned away from the housing and configured to illuminate the slots; and
a sensor positioned proximate a closed end of each of the slots and configured to detect the presence of the doors within the housing.
16. The vehicle of claim 15 , wherein the housing is coupled to attachment features in the cargo area.
17. The vehicle of claim 16 , wherein each of the slots has a cross-sectional shape substantially similar to that of a different vehicle door.
18. The vehicle of claim 17 , wherein the slot is deep enough to fully position the door within the slot.
