Abstract

A cargo liner for a vehicle may include a cargo area portion sized and configured to extend over a horizontally-oriented cargo area of a vehicle. The cover may also include a seatback portion coupled to the lower portion. The seatback portion may be sized and configured to extend upwardly over a seatback of a vehicle seat. The seatback portion may include a first section, a second section, and a third section. Each of the first section, the second section, and the third section may extend from an upper edge of the upper portion to the cargo area portion. The cargo liner may include a guard portion elevating mechanism that is manipulable to cause the guard portion to transition between a lowered state and an elevated state wherein at least a segment of the guard portion proximate the cargo bed portion extends upwardly to provide a rear barrier.

Claims (22)

1. A cargo liner for a vehicle, comprising:

a cargo bed portion sized and configured to extend over a horizontally-oriented surface of a vehicle cargo area; and

a seatback portion coupled to the cargo bed portion, wherein the seatback portion is sized and configured to extend upwardly over a seatback of a vehicle seat, wherein the seatback portion has a first section, a second section, and a third section, wherein the first section and second section are separated by a first slit, wherein the first slit extends from an upper edge of the seatback portion along substantially all of a height of the seatback portion but not an entirety of the height of the seatback portion such that a closed end of the first slit is spaced apart from the cargo bed portion by a surface of the seatback portion.

2. The cargo liner of claim 1 , wherein the first slit comprises an open end opening out through the upper edge of the seatback portion and positioned opposite the closed end.

3. The cargo liner of claim 1 , wherein the first slit is entirely positioned on the seatback portion.

4. The cargo liner of claim 1 , further comprising a second slit between the second section and the third section, wherein the second slit extends from the upper edge of the seatback portion along substantially all of the height of the seatback portion but not an entirety of the height of the seatback portion such that a closed end of the second slit is spaced apart from the cargo bed portion by a surface of the seatback portion.

5. The cargo liner of claim 4 , wherein the second slit comprises an open end opening out through the upper edge of the seatback portion and positioned opposite the closed end of the second slit.

6. The cargo liner of claim 4 , wherein the second slit is entirely positioned on the seatback portion.

7. The cargo liner of claim 1 , further comprising a guard portion coupled to a lower edge of the cargo bed portion, opposite the seatback portion, and configured to extend over a bumper of a vehicle.

8. The cargo liner of claim 1 , further comprising a first coupling mechanism configured to selectively couple the first section to the second section.

9. The cargo liner of claim 8 , further comprising a second coupling mechanism configured to selectively couple the second section to the third section.

10. The cargo liner of claim 1 , wherein the seatback portion is adapted to be entirely positioned on a seatback of a vehicle seat.

11. A cargo liner for a vehicle, comprising:

a cargo bed portion sized and configured to extend over a horizontally-oriented surface of a vehicle cargo area; and

a seatback portion coupled to the cargo bed portion, wherein the seatback portion is sized and configured to extend upwardly over a seatback of a vehicle seat, wherein the seatback portion has a first section, a second section, and a third section, wherein the first section and second section are separated by a first slit, wherein the first slit extends from an upper edge of the seatback portion and is entirely positioned on the seatback portion.

12. The cargo liner of claim 11 , wherein the first slit comprises an open end opening out through the upper edge of the seatback portion, and a closed end positioned opposite the open end, wherein the closed end is defined by the seatback portion.

13. The cargo liner of claim 11 , further comprising a second slit between the second section and the third section, wherein the second slit extends from the upper edge of the seatback portion and is entirely positioned on the seatback portion.

14. The cargo liner of claim 13 , wherein the second slit comprises an open end opening out through the upper edge of the seatback portion, and a closed end positioned opposite the open end of the second slit, wherein the closed end of the second slit is defined by the seatback portion.

15. The cargo liner of claim 11 , further comprising a guard portion coupled to a lower edge of the cargo bed portion, opposite the seatback portion, and configured to extend over a bumper of a vehicle.

16. The cargo liner of claim 11 , further comprising a first coupling mechanism configured to selectively couple the first section to the second section.

17. The cargo liner of claim 16 , further comprising a second coupling mechanism configured to selectively couple the second section to the third section.

18. The cargo liner of claim 11 , wherein the seatback portion is adapted to be entirely positioned on a seatback of a vehicle seat.
