Publication number: 20240075862Abstract: Described herein are examples of a system which includes a stow box, a base portion, an extension portion and a leg. The stow box forms a three-sided box sized to fit into a cargo space of a vehicle and includes a top surface for storage of items within the cargo space of the vehicle and on top of the stow box. The base portion translates into and out of an interior of the stow box without disturbing the items. The extension portion is pivotably is coupled to a first side of the base portion to lay atop the base portion for translation of the base portion into a stowed arrangement and to extend a surface area of the base portion in a deployed arrangement. The leg applies support to the at least one of the base portion and the extension portion, and displaces for the stowed arrangement.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 6, 2022Publication date: March 7, 2024Inventor: David Muti
