  • Patent number: 10471881
    Abstract: A cargo organizer for use on a load floor of a vehicle includes a first divider wall rotatably connected to the load floor and a second divider wall rotatably connected to the load floor and spaced apart from the first divider wall to define at least one storage compartment. The first divider wall and the second divider wall are configured to operate in a stowed position and in a deployed position. The cargo organizer also includes a linkage mechanism connected to the first divider wall and the second divider wall. The linkage mechanism is configured to move the first divider wall and the second divider wall from the stowed position to the deployed position when one of the first divider wall and the second divider wall is moved from the stowed position to the deployed position.

  • Patent number: 9562750
    Abstract: Blast absorbing structures and system for use in absorbing blast forces exerted on a floor of a personnel cabin of a vehicle, are disclosed. The blast absorbing flexing structure comprises a bottom section forming a floor of the cabin, a first side section and opposing second side section, each side section extending from the bottom section and including a plurality of steps along a length of the second side section. The steps flex in response to a blast force. In another embodiment, the blast absorbing expanding structure comprises a force abatement device forming a floor of the cabin, a cover plate having a plurality of slots arranged around a perimeter of the plate. The cover plate is movable between a neutral position and a blast force position to diminish the blast forces prior to the blast forces to reaching an occupant of the cabin.
