Abstract: A unique multi-use carrying case that can be used as motorcycle luggage or a backpack because of a dual-strapping system is described. The motorcycle case and backpack involves a horizontal strapping system for use with a motorcycles backrest and a vertical strapping system for use as a backpack. A system of panels prevents the two sets of straps from interfering with one another and provides for the comfort of the wearer of the backpack. An internal padding structure makes possible the safe transportation of a laptop computer on a daily basis by motorcycle or by person. The case is also capable of carrying clothes that are hung in one of its compartments.

Abstract: A motor vehicle cargo loading floor has a plurality of parallel slats extending longitudinally from a rear access opening. The slats, which normally serve as cargo skids, have their aft ends hinged to the floor about a common transverse axis adjacent the access opening. The forward ends of the slats are secured by a transverse cross-rail with support means adjacent each end of the rail. The hinged slats and cross-rail define a rack which may be pivoted upwardly and secured in a canted position by the support means free ends being secured to either side of the access opening. The canted rack defines a plurality of cargo receiving spaces which, upon the access door being closed, maintains cargo placed in the rack spaces in an upright manner during operation of the vehicle.
