  • Patent number: 9931988
    Abstract: A freestanding unit for securing loose items within the cargo area of a vehicle by propping items against a side wall of the cargo area includes a vertical wall section and bottom wall forming an overall L shaped cross section reinforced by molded ribs. The freestanding wall unit is secured to the carpeted floor of the vehicle's cargo area using continuous strips of hook and loop material. Two handles, situated one on either end of the vertical wall allow ease of use when removing or repositioning the freestanding wall unit within the cargo area. The handles are positioned at either end to provide a constant and steady peeling effect facilitated by the continuous hook and loop strips when removing the unit from a carpeted surface. The unit may be constructed as a solid one piece molded plastic part utilizing a tough and durable plastic.
