  • Load panel for the luggage area of a motor vehicle
    Patent number: 5944371
    Abstract: A load panel for the luggage area of a motor vehicle, in particular a passenger car, runs on three or more rollers and may be pulled out from the trunk at least partially, approximately parallel to the vehicle bottom. In order to increase crash safety while offering a high load-bearing capacity of the load panel, the proposal is put forward that the panel have at least one predefined folding line running transversely to the direction of vehicle motion and that at least one securing device be provided to prevent the retracted panel from moving forwardly relative to the bottom of the vehicle.
