  • Patent number: 6811198
    Abstract: The present invention concerns a system for storing cargo within a vehicle. The invention is characterized by a support device (2), attached or attachable in the cargo area (4) of the vehicle, for cargo receiving means (6). The support device (2) is pivotable, after the cargo receiving means (6) have been removed and/or collapsed flat, from a utilization position (A) lying on a cargo area floor (8), about a pivot axis (Y) extending in the vicinity of the cargo area floor (8) approximately parallel thereto, into a non-utilization position (B) lying approximately parallel to and in the vicinity of a vehicle partition (10) delimiting the cargo area (4), and thereby uncovering the vehicle floor (8).

  • Patent number: 6612647
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a safety device (3) for a vehicle bench seat (1) that can be moved via two lateral, parallel guide tracks (2) within a vehicle across an adjustable range and can be locked in various positions, consisting of a safety rail (4), which is arranged roughly in the center between the guide tracks (2) and parallel to these tracks, and of a safety sled (6), which is guided in a relatively flexible manner at least across the actual adjustable range of the bench seat (1). The safety sled (6) is arranged in such a manner that it can move freely lengthwise to the safety rail (4) during regular sliding motions and in positions within the adjustable range of the bench seat (1) and interlocks with the safety rail (4) due to irregular deformations in the area of the bench seat (1).
