  • Patent number: 6520562
    Abstract: A glass holding device for mid-gates of vehicles is disclosed. In the glass holding device, a first hinge unit is provided at the upper portion of a gate body for rotatably connecting the lower end of a glass to the upper portion of the gate body. A folding trim panel is rotatably mounted at the lower end thereof to the lower portion of the gate body using a second hinge unit. A panel fastening unit fastens or releases the trim panel to or from the gate body. In order to house the glass in the gate body prior to laying down the mid-gate on the floor of the vehicle for unifying a passenger compartment and a cargo compartment into a single compartment, the glass is easily and simply rotated downward around the first hinge unit, and so it is easy to manipulate the mid-gate. Since the trim panel covers the folded glass, it is possible to safely and cleanly protect the folded glass when laying down the mid-gate.
