  • Patent number: 7661742
    Abstract: A multi-functional cargo lid for a vehicle is provided that functions as a floor for a main storage area, a lid for a storage well, and as an elevated shelf. The cargo lid includes a first panel pivotally connected to a cargo lining behind a rear seat of the vehicle and a second panel pivotally connected to the first panel. When the cargo lid is in a first configuration the first and second panels are substantially horizontal and are flush with a floor of the vehicle. When the cargo lid is in a second configuration the first panel is substantially vertical and the second panel is elevated above the floor but remains substantially horizontal. A side latching device that pivots from each rear sidewall of the vehicle is adapted to receive and horizontally secure the second panel thereby securing the cargo lid in the second configuration.

  • Patent number: 6742823
    Abstract: A cargo bin lid hinge includes a body member, a first hinge arm, and a second hinge arm. The first hinge arm extends from the body member and is generally aligned with the body member. The second hinge arm extends from the body member, and is curved and extends away from a plane of the body member. The first and second hinge arms cooperate to define an elongated hinge pin-receiving receptacle. A hinge pin has a flat surface that facilitates snap-fitting assembly of the hinge thereon.

  • Patent number: 6666504
    Abstract: A cover assembly is secured to a panel and operable to selectively cover or reveal an opening in the panel. The cover assembly includes a sliding cover and a housing. The housing is secured to the panel and includes lateral and vertical guide members. The lateral guide members engage the cover and maintain the cover in alignment with the opening as the cover is moved between an open position and a closed position. The vertical guide members engage a lower surface of the cover and serve to bias the cover upwardly as the cover is moved into the closed position so that the cover upper surface is substantially flush with the panel upper surface when the cover is closed.

  • Patent number: 6508499
    Abstract: A cargo bin liner is adapted to retain and store a tonneau cover therein. The cargo bin liner includes a central cup-shaped member and a pair of wings that extend outwardly from opposite ends of the cup-shaped wall. The wings include a base wall, forward wall, a rearward wall, and an end wall. The forward and rearward walls are spaced apart a distance that closely corresponds to a width dimension of the tonneau cover received therebetween such that the tonneau cover is snugly fitted against unintended horizontal movement. The end wall includes mounting members that engage terminal ends of the tonneau cover and prevent unintended vertical and horizontal movement of the tonneau cover. The cargo bin liner has a cargo bin lid pivotally secured thereto, and provides engagement surfaces to vertically support the lid when the lid is in a closed position.
