AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing motor vehicle plug-in storage devices are complex to produce and can be difficult to access, with a risk of objects falling out due to their envelope-shaped outer casing and cover-like design.

Method used

A motor vehicle plug-in storage device with a textile planar structure of a one-piece blank, formed in a meandering fashion to create at least one receiving space, which is closed on its sides by a closure means such as a seam or rivet connection, preventing objects from falling out.

Benefits of technology

The solution provides a simple, aesthetically pleasing, and easy-to-manufacture storage device with freely accessible receiving spaces of varying sizes, ensuring secure storage and easy access while being cost-effective and recyclable.

Claims

[1] Motor vehicle plug-in shelf (1) with a textile fabric (5) of one-piece cut (7) having a length (L) and a width (B), which is formed in a meandering shape along its length (L) to form at least one receiving space (32, 34, 36), characterized by that the blank (7) is closed at its left side region (40) and right side region (42) viewed in the direction of its length (L) and along this direction by a closure means (40-2, 42-2). [2] Motor vehicle plug-in tray (1) according to claim 1, characterized by that the blank (7) comprises at least three loops (60, 70, 80) aligned in a plane, each having a vertex line (60-6, 70-6, 80-6; 60-8, 70-8). [3] Motor vehicle plug-in tray (1) according to claim 2, characterized bythat at least one apex line (60-6, 70-6, 80-6; 60-8, 70-8) is aligned parallel to a lower storage edge (10) and / or upper storage edge (20) of the blank (7). [4] Motor vehicle plug-in tray (1) according to claim 2 or 3, characterized by that the length of a loop (60, 70, 80) is different from the length of a respective adjacent loop (60, 70, 80). [5] Motor vehicle plug-in tray (1) according to claim 4, characterized by that the distance between adjacent vertex lines (60-6, 70-6, 80-6; 60-8, 70-8) becomes smaller, starting from the distance of a first vertex line (60-6, 70-6, 80-6; 60-8, 70-8) to an adjacent second vertex line (60-6, 70-6, 80-6; 60-8, 70-8). [6] Motor vehicle plug-in tray (1) according to one of the preceding claims, characterized bythat at least one section (110, 130) of the blank (7) is folded around at least one folding edge (115, 120, 135) running in the direction of its length (L). [7] Motor vehicle plug-in tray (1) according to one of the preceding claims, characterized by that the blank (7) has at least one fastening means (55). [8] Motor vehicle plug-in tray (1) according to one of the preceding claims, characterized by that the textile fabric (5) is made of a single material. [9] Motor vehicle (50), characterized by a motor vehicle plug-in tray (1) according to one of the preceding claims.
