Abstract: Cargo systems for use in a vehicle cargo compartment that provide a range of selectable cargo carrying configurations. A cargo shelf system includes a first support wall, a second support wall, at least one set of removable shelves supported between one of the support walls and an interior side panel of the vehicle, and a set of retractable shelves supported between the first and second support walls. A cargo divider system includes a tray bin attached to a frame structure of the vehicle, a load floor supported upon the tray bin, a flip-wall divider supported upon the tray bin, and a plurality of laterally displaceable divider walls. Another cargo divider system includes a storage bin, an independently moveable seat-side load floor, and an independently moveable gate-side load floor, the seat-side load floor and the gate-side load floor collectively covering the storage bin to form a generally planar continuous load floor.

Abstract: Provided is a cargo storage system for a forward compartment of a vehicle. The cargo storage system includes a support frame having a plurality of separate frame units, and a load floor supported upon the frame units. The support frame is mountable upon a trunk bin or body-in-white structure of the vehicle, and the placement of the load floor upon the frame units divides the forward compartment into a load floor cargo area in an area above the load floor, and a sub-floor cargo area in an area below the load floor.

Abstract: Provided is a storage system for a pickup truck cargo bed. The storage system includes a frame assembly dimensioned to be nested within and fixedly attached to the cargo bed between opposing side wall sections thereof, the frame assembly further being dimensioned to extend the length of the cargo bed. The storage system additionally includes a first drawer configured to be deployable from the frame assembly, and a second drawer configured to be deployable from the frame assembly, the first and second drawers being separately deployable. The frame assembly further includes a load supporting top wall to permit for the transport of goods in the area above the storage system.

Abstract: An expandable cargo box assembly for mounting on a side wall section of a cargo bed of a pickup truck includes a base member for attaching the expandable cargo box assembly to the side wall section of the cargo bed, the base member having the form of an outer wall plate. Opposite the outer wall plate is an inner wall plate, the inner wall plate being displaceable from a first position to a second position, the first position defining a collapsed state, and the second position defining a deployed state. The outer and inner wall plates have operably associated therebetween a folding floor assembly, and the outer wall plate supports a forward folding wall and a rearward folding wall. Upon expanding the expandable cargo box assembly to a deployed state, the folding floor assembly and the forward and rearward folding walls are arranged to define an enclosure for receiving cargo.

Abstract: A load floor assembly for a motor vehicle. The load floor assembly comprises a structural core, a first surface layer situated on a first side of the structural core, and a second surface layer situated on a second side of the structural core. The load floor assembly also includes an embedded layer positioned intermediate at least one of the first and second surface layers and the structural core. At least one electronic component is incorporated into the embedded layer, to provide a secondary functionality to the load floor assembly.

Abstract: A storage accessory for placement under a vehicle seat. The storage accessory comprises a first storage compartment, a second storage compartment, and a tray assembly for supporting the first and second storage compartments. At least one of the first and second storage compartments is removable from the tray assembly to serve as a stand-alone storage box when removed from the vehicle. The at least one removable storage compartment includes a lock handle that permits the at least one removable storage compartment to be releasably and securely attached to the tray assembly.

Abstract: Provided is an expandable cargo box assembly for mounting on a side wall section of a cargo bed. The cargo box assembly comprises a base member for attaching the expandable cargo box assembly to the side wall section. The base member supports a folding floor assembly and forward and rearward collapsible walls at each end of the base member. The cargo box assembly also includes an inner wall plate attached to the forward and rearward collapsible walls opposite to the base member. The base member, the folding floor assembly, the forward and rearward collapsible walls and the inner wall plate collectively define an expandable enclosure that can be positioned in a stowed position when not in use, and is configured to expand to a deployed position to receive cargo.
