Abstract: An improved collapsible container configured with a base member and at least one multiple cavity or compartment divider either permanently or removably attached to the base member at a pivot point. The multiple cavity divider is configured to close into a relatively flat portion that can be rotated about the pivot point and positioned against the base portion in a storage state, and the multiple cavity divider is configured to be expanded into an open position about the pivot point to create a number of separate cavities. Further, the base member is configured to provide support for the bottom of each of the cavities when the multiple cavity divider is in the expanded position, and the base member is configured to provide support for the multiple cavity divider when it is in the fold down or storage position.

Abstract: A modular open space organizer (MOSO) apparatus and system that may be configured to be employed in various open storage areas where the MOSO system may include multiple, modular sections.

Abstract: A mechanism for securing a mattress on a bed foundation is provided. More particularly, the invention relates to a folding mattress-retention mechanism that may compactly fold or be easily removed during shipping or storage. The folding mattress-retention mechanism includes a mattress-support structure, a first hinged attachment, and a second hinged attachment. The mattress-support structure includes a first and second end and may abut a side of a mattress atop a bed foundation. The first and second hinged attachments are coupled to the mattress-support structure at the respective first and second ends and may either affix or removably attach the folding mattress-retention mechanism to the foot, head, or sides of a bed foundation. Further, the hinged attachments may allow for movement, and the folding mattress-retention mechanism may move into and between an operable first position and a stowed second position.

Abstract: A load compartment arrangement for a vehicle is disclosed. The load compartment arrangement includes a board device with a loading board having a flap section pivotably connected to one another. The flap section assumes an upper position such that the loading board is in a low position. Conversely, the flap section assumes a lower position such that the loading board is a high position. The load compartment arrangement includes at least one load compartment-fixed holding device for holding the flap section in the lower position. A basic body of the flap section supports itself in the holding device and is secured in a direction directed towards the load compartment floor in a positively joined manner when the flap section assumes the lower position.

Abstract: A baffle construction constructed of a two part/two shot injection molded material having an integral and three sided body. Each of the sides including a panel section surrounded by a softer interconnecting hinge such that a plurality of living hinges are configured into the body and are located around and between each of a central panel and interconnected side panels. A secondary article is provided and includes an upper baffle assembled along with the lower baffle to define a four sided box-like structure around a vehicle radiator and in order to direct incoming air through a fascia opening and into a cooling module associated with the radiator.

Abstract: An article-storage unit is configured to store various articles in several compartments. The article-storage unit is compactable to assume a smaller size when not in use.

Abstract: A cargo carrier has a platform section. A set of foldable wall elements is for location in a first position substantially flat with a support region and in a second position substantially upright relative to the inner cargo support region. There can be two platform sections bolted together to form the overall platform section.

Abstract: A van is provided within its carrying compartment with an installation for use in the safe storage against theft of tradesmen's tools, such, for example, as electric drills. The installation comprises a substantially L-shaped frame, and several panels hingedly connected to the frame for movement between a collapsed, non obtrusive state in which chamber front and side panels are prostrate on, or adjacent to the compartment floor, and an erect state in which these are able to cooperated with a lid panel also hinged to the frame to create the chamber.

Abstract: Apparatus for storing items within vehicle compartments that can be manipulated into an operative position and a closed position with a single hand are provided. Apparatus includes a base disposed on or within a vehicle compartment floor and having a surface that is exposed to the vehicle compartment when the apparatus is in an operative (i.e., open) position. A rear panel is pivotally attached to the base and is movable between a closed position overlying the base surface and an open position substantially normal to the base surface. End panels are movably attached to respective end portions of the rear panel. The end panels are movable between a stored position in face-to-face relation with the rear panel and an operative position disposed substantially normal to the base surface and to the rear panel. The end panels move from their respective stored positions to operative positions in response to movement of the rear panel from its closed position to its open position.

Abstract: Portable apparatus for storing items within vehicle compartments that are manipulated into an operative position and a closed position with a single hand are provided. Apparatus includes a base with a surface and a rear panel pivotally attached to the base that is movable between a closed position overlying the base surface and an open position substantially normal to the base surface. End panels are movably attached to respective end portions of the rear panel and are movable between a stored position in face-to-face relation with the rear panel and an operative position disposed substantially normal to the base surface and to the rear panel. One or more partition panels may be provided that are movable between a stored position in face-to-face relation with the rear panel (or base surface) and an operative position disposed substantially normal to the base surface and to the rear panel.

Abstract: Apparatus for storing items within vehicle compartments that can be manipulated into an operative position and a closed position with a single hand are provided. Apparatus includes a base, expandable walls, and a panel. The panel is pivotally attached to the base via the expandable walls and is movable between a closed position in overlying, face-to-face relation with the base and an oven position disposed substantially transverse to the base. The expandable walls each include a plurality of members pinned together at a first end and having opposite free ends. The members of each expandable wall are configured to move from a stacked relationship to a fanned relationship when the panel is moved from a closed position to an open position.
