Abstract

Cargo systems for use in a vehicle cargo compartment that provide a range of selectable cargo carrying configurations. A cargo shelf system includes a first support wall, a second support wall, at least one set of removable shelves supported between one of the support walls and an interior side panel of the vehicle, and a set of retractable shelves supported between the first and second support walls. A cargo divider system includes a tray bin attached to a frame structure of the vehicle, a load floor supported upon the tray bin, a flip-wall divider supported upon the tray bin, and a plurality of laterally displaceable divider walls. Another cargo divider system includes a storage bin, an independently moveable seat-side load floor, and an independently moveable gate-side load floor, the seat-side load floor and the gate-side load floor collectively covering the storage bin to form a generally planar continuous load floor.

Claims (29)

1. A cargo divider system for use in a cargo compartment of a vehicle, the cargo divider system comprising:

a storage bin;

a first load floor; and

a second load floor;

wherein the first load floor and the second load floor in a stowed position collectively cover the storage bin to form a generally planar continuous load floor, and

wherein the first load floor and the second load floor are independently moveable from the stowed position to a deployed position to provide a user with a range of selectable cargo carrying configurations, and

wherein the storage bin includes a support tower centrally located on the storage bin, the support tower providing a bearing surface that supports an underside surface of the first and second load floors when arranged in the stowed position.

2. The cargo divider system according to claim 1 , wherein the first load floor is supported in the deployed position by a first tower slot provided in the support tower, and first and second side slots provided on the storage bin.

3. The cargo divider system according to claim 1 , wherein the second load floor is supported in the deployed position by a second tower slot provided in the support tower, and a rear slot provided on the storage bin.

4. The cargo divider system according to claim 1 , wherein the first load floor is provided as a singular panel, and wherein the second load floor includes a first panel and a second panel, the first and second panels being hingedly connected.

5. The cargo divider system according to claim 1 , wherein each of the first load floor and the second load floor is removable from the storage bin.

6. The cargo divider system according to claim 1 , wherein when in the stowed position each of the first load floor and the second load floor is in a horizontal orientation and when in the deployed position each of the first load floor and the second load floor is in a vertical orientation.

7. The cargo divider system according to claim 6 , wherein when in the deployed position each of the first load floor and the second load floor form a wall divider of the storage bin.

8. The cargo divider system according to claim 1 , wherein the storage bin is configured for placement within a rear cargo compartment of the vehicle and the first load floor is a seat-side load floor and the second load floor is a gate-side load floor.

9. The cargo divider system according to claim 1 , wherein each of the first load floor and the second load floor is covered in a textile material.

10. A cargo divider system for use in a cargo compartment of a vehicle, the cargo divider system comprising:

a storage bin;

a first load floor supported upon the storage bin; and

a second load floor supported upon the storage bin;

wherein the first load floor and the second load floor are independently moveable from a first position to a second position,

wherein each of the first load floor and the second load floor has a horizontal orientation in the first position such that the first load floor and the second load floor collectively cover the storage bin to form a generally planar continuous load floor, and

wherein each of the first load floor and the second load floor has a vertical orientation in the second position as to form a wall divider of the storage bin, and

wherein the storage bin includes a support tower centrally located on the storage bin, the support tower providing a bearing surface that supports an underside surface of the first and second load floors when arranged in the first position.

11. The cargo divider system according to claim 10 , wherein the first load floor is supported in the second position by a first tower slot provided in the support tower, and first and second side slots provided on the storage bin.

12. The cargo divider system according to claim 10 , wherein the second load floor is supported in the second position by a second tower slot provided in the support tower, and a rear slot provided on the storage bin.

13. The cargo divider system according to claim 10 , wherein the first load floor is provided as a singular panel, and wherein the second load floor includes a first panel and a second panel, the first and second panels being hingedly connected.

14. The cargo divider system according to claim 10 , wherein each of the first load floor and the second load floor is removable from the storage bin.

15. The cargo divider system according to claim 10 , wherein the storage bin is configured for placement within a rear cargo compartment of the vehicle and the first load floor is a seat-side load floor and the second load floor is a gate-side load floor.

16. The cargo divider system according to claim 10 , wherein each of the first load floor and the second load floor is covered in a textile material.
