  • Patent number: 6406083
    Abstract: A frame is for temporary installation in a trunk, which is situated behind the rear seats of a vehicle and opens up into the passenger compartment of this vehicle. In order to horizontally align the frame inside the trunk opening, the size of the frame is adapted to the opening so that the frame encloses the trunk opening as completely as possible. Insert parts may be inserted into the frame as needed. Together with the insert parts placed in the frame, the trunk is horizontally covered in the upward direction. The cover is simultaneously used to partition the trunk into two superposed, separately loadable regions.
