Vehicle body barrier

1. A vehicle body barrier comprising:

a vertical support configured to be received in a vehicle body;

a first non-movable board fixedly attached to the vertical support;

a second non-movable board that is fixedly attached to the vertical support and being vertically spaced from the first non-movable board; and

a movable board movably connected to the first non-movable board between a primarily offset position and a primarily overlapping position, the movable board being disposed between the first and second non-movable boards in the primarily offset position.

2. The vehicle body barrier according to claim 1 , wherein

the first non-movable board includes a pocket sized and dimensioned to receive the movable board, the movable board being movably disposed in the pocket in the primarily overlapping position.

3. The vehicle body barrier according to claim 2 , wherein

the pocket includes an opening that is disposed on a bottom-facing surface of the first non-movable board, a portion of the movable board extending through the opening in the primarily offset position.

4. The vehicle body barrier according to claim 2 , wherein

the movable board has a first engagement structure, the first non-movable board has a second engagement structure configured to engage the first engagement structure to lock the movable board in the primarily overlapping position and the primarily offset position.

5. The vehicle body barrier according to claim 4 , wherein

one of the first and second engagement structures includes a latch, the other of the first and second engagement structures includes a latch receiver for engaging the latch.

6. The vehicle body barrier according to claim 5 , wherein

the latch receiver is disposed inside the pocket of the first non-movable board.

7. The vehicle body barrier according to claim 6 , wherein

the latch receiver includes a first side wall laterally spaced from a second side wall to define a passageway that accommodates the latch.

8. The vehicle body barrier according to claim 7 , wherein

the latch receiver includes a pair of first abutments disposed at a first height to hold the movable board in the primarily overlapping position and a pair of second abutments disposed at a second height to hold the movable board in the primarily offset position, one of the first abutments is disposed adjacent each of the first and second side walls.

9. The vehicle body barrier according to claim 8 , wherein

the first abutments are laterally spaced to define a first distance across of the passageway, the second abutments are laterally spaced to define a second distance across the passageway,

the first and second side walls are spaced apart by a third distance that is less than the first and second distances.

10. The vehicle body barrier according to claim 9 , wherein

the latch receiver includes a pair of slanted surfaces extending inward from the second abutments towards each other and in a direction towards the first abutments.

11. The vehicle body barrier according to claim 10 , wherein

the first engagement structure includes a latch, the latch having a first latch member and a second latch member, the first and second latch members being biased with respect to each other by a biasing spring between a latching position and an unlatching position.

12. The vehicle body barrier according to claim 11 , wherein

the latch having a maximum width in the latching position that is greater than third distance.

13. A vehicle comprising the vehicle body barrier according to claim 1 , the vehicle further comprising

the vehicle body having a cargo receiving surface, the vehicle body barrier extending upwardly with respect to the cargo receiving area.

14. The vehicle according to claim 13 , wherein

the vehicle body barrier is a first vehicle body barrier and the vehicle further comprises a second vehicle body barrier disposed on the cargo receiving area opposite of the first vehicle body barrier.

15. A vehicle body barrier comprising:

a vertical support configured to be received in a vehicle body;

a first non-movable board fixedly attached to the vertical support, the first non-movable board having a pocket; and

a movable board movably connected to the non-movable board between a primarily offset position and a primarily overlapping position, the pocket being sized and dimensioned to receive the movable board so that the movable board is disposed substantially inside the pocket in the primarily overlapping position and is disposed substantially outside the pocket in the primarily offset position.

16. The vehicle body barrier according to claim 15 , wherein

the pocket includes an opening that is disposed on a bottom-facing surface of the first non-movable board.

17. The vehicle body barrier according to claim 16 , wherein

the movable board has a first engagement structure, the first non-movable board has a second engagement structure configured to engage the first engagement structure to lock the movable board in the primarily overlapping position and the primarily offset position.

18. The vehicle body barrier according to claim 17 , wherein

one of the first and second engagement structures includes a latch, the other of the first and second engagement structures includes a latch receiver for engaging the latch.

19. The vehicle body barrier according to claim 18 , wherein

the latch receiver is disposed inside the pocket of the first non-movable board.

20. The vehicle body barrier according to claim 19 , wherein

the latch receiver is defined by a pair laterally spaced rails that each includes a first abutment disposed at a first height to hold the movable board in the primarily overlapping position and a second abutment disposed at a second height to hold the movable board in the primarily offset position.
