Embodiment Construction

[0027] The present invention provides a cargo management system 10 that increases adjustable load capacity when a row of passenger seats 16 are folded by automatically aligning the adjustable load floor 14 with the rear surface 22 of the seat back 18 when the passenger seats 16 are folded. Cargo volume in the spare wheel berth 12 below the floor 14 . The adjustable load floor 14 can also be lowered automatically when the passenger seat 16 is in the upright position.

[0028] A cargo management system for a vehicle includes a vehicle floor 20 , a passenger seat 16 and an adjustable load floor 14 . The passenger seat 16 is connected to a vehicle floor 20 . The passenger seat 16 includes a seat back 18 pivotally mounted to a base member 24 , such as a seat cushion, a vehicle floor 20 , a C-pillar (not shown), an HEV battery (not shown), or other energy storage device. The seat back 18 includes a front surface, a rear surface 22 and a base 26 . The seat back 18 is generally ver...

Abstract

A cargo management system includes a vehicle floor pan, a passenger seat having a seat back and a seat cushion, and an adjustable load floor. The passenger seat is disposed on the vehicle floor pan. The passenger seat has a seatback that is pivotally mounted to the seat cushion. The adjustable load floor is disposed above the vehicle floor pan. The adjustable load floor has a rear end and a front end wherein the front end is operatively configured to engage with the base of the seatback. The adjustable load floor being is operatively configured to move between a first position and a second position as the seat back moves between the upright position and the collapsed position.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to vehicle cargo management systems. Background technique [0002] Sports utility vehicles (SUVs), utility vehicles (MAVs), crossovers and even sedans generally have a cargo area behind one or more rows of passenger seats. Often, these vented passenger seats fold to increase the size of the cargo area. To achieve a flat load floor in the cargo area when the seats are folded, some motor vehicle designs include panels that connect the seat back to the pre-existing load floor. Often, additional attachment panels are set at a different angle to both the pre-existing load floor and seat back. This conventional design is detrimental to overall cargo capacity. Components under the seat cushions, such as the hybrid vehicle's battery system, can further reduce the size of the cargo area. [0003] Other cargo assemblies provide a flat load floor by designing the passenger seat row to fold completely flat. The problem ...
