  • Patent number: 5667115
    Abstract: An interior vehicle storage container includes one or more storage compartments securable by one or more substantially flat covers. Preferably, three storage compartments are integrally formed within a single enclosure and separated and covered by three substantially flat hinged covers. A middle storage compartment has a height dimension less than the height dimension of a left end compartment and a right end compartment, for straddling a raised surface on the floor of the vehicle. The middle compartment and the right end compartment share a common wall through which an aperture protrudes for storing a long item, such as a car jack handle through both the middle and right end compartments. Alternatively, the three compartments are separately constructed and designed to integrally fit together. An exterior restraint apparatus is also included for restraining goods stacked on the top of the substantially flat covers, such as grocery bags and the like.
