  • Reversible vehicle floor panel
    Patent number: 5836637
    Abstract: A reversible floor panel for making the rear seat floor area adjustable in a passenger vehicle. The reversible floor panel is formed with a planar surface on one side and an extended surface on the other side. The extended surface is adapted to fit within a cavity of the vehicle floor. When the reversible floor panel is mounted with its extended surface facing upwardly for added passenger comfort, the space between the planar surface and the floor cavity also forms a hidden compartment for use by a passenger. The reversible floor panel may also be formed with an extended flange along one end that enables a footrest shape to be present in both of the reversible positions.
