Abstract: A vehicle cargo area includes a retention structure having an upper portion, a vertical portion, an arcuate portion, and an angled portion. The vehicle cargo area further includes a storage tray having a coupling portion that removably couples to the retention structure by passing over the vertical portion and engages with the vertical portion such that the coupling portion is secured in the retention structure.

Abstract: A coat hanger assembly includes a housing and a hanger body. The hanger body is displaceable between a stowed position within the housing and a use position projecting from the housing. The hanger body includes a stem and two arms pivotally mounted to the stem. The two arms are displaceable between a home position and a deployed position. When fully erected the coat hanger allows one to easily hang a coat or other clothing article. A related method of hanging a clothing article is also disclosed.

Abstract: A vehicle having a cargo area accessible through a lift gate opening frame and partially defined by a floor and side quarter panels is provided. The vehicle includes guide tracks supported by the side quarter panels and a tray movable between a stowed position adjacent the floor and at least one deployed position. First and second pegs extend from opposing sides of the tray and engage the guide tracks. Similarly, first and second retention pins extend from the opposing sides of the tray and engage first and second receivers supported by the side quarter panels in the at least one deployed position. A handle is supported by the tray. A release mechanism may be connected to the retention pins and is used to retract the pins from the receivers.

Abstract: A cargo area for a vehicle includes a load floor, a package tray, and a pair of cargo area side walls each comprising a package tray translating element including a vehicle-forward facing guide surface for translating the package tray between at least one deployed position at a spaced distance above the load floor and a stowed position on the load floor. Vehicle-forward upper and lower indents are disposed at spaced intervals along the vehicle-forward facing guide surface. A cooperating package tray retaining element includes vehicle-rearward upper and lower indents disposed on the cargo area side walls. A vehicle-forward edge of the package tray includes a follower element adapted for translating the package tray between the at least one deployed position and the stowed position. A vehicle-rearward edge of the package tray includes a retractable retaining element adapted to releasably and selectively engage the vehicle-rearward upper and lower indents.
