Drainage system for a vehicle
A drainage system for a vehicle is disclosed herein. A drain is disposed within a vehicle substrate and has a floor. A receiver is disposed proximate to the floor. A cap feature is operably coupled to the drain and is operable between first and second positions relative to the drain. The cap feature includes an upper platform and a sidewall that extends generally downward from the upper platform. A cutout is defined by the cap feature and is configured to allow liquid to flow through the cap feature. An engagement feature is coupled to the cap feature and is operable between a disengaged position and an engaged position in which the engagement feature is engaged with the receiver. Movement of the cap feature from the first position to the second position moves the engagement feature from the disengaged position to the engaged position.
Mobile platform for a vehicle baggage compartment
A platform and a wheel assembly, wherein the wheel assembly comprises one of: i) at least one supporting plate on each side of the platform, facing lateral edges of the platform, the supporting plate mounting a least a bottom rotating wheel at a first height of the plate and a top rotating wheel at a second height of the plate, the second height being higher that said first height, an interspace between facing rotating circumferential surfaces of said wheels engaging a respective lateral edge of the platform; a rotation axis of the wheels being mounted on said plate with a controlled positional tolerance; and ii) at least one wheel mounted on lateral edges of the platform, a rotation axis of the wheels being mounted on the platform with a controlled positional tolerance.

Universal storage system for a motor vehicle
A universal storage system for a motor vehicle includes an enclosure defining a chamber, a plurality of partitions, and a partition actuator for moving the partitions within the chamber to define a plurality of compartments. The system further includes a cover actuator for moving the cover elements to cover the compartments. The system further includes a user interface generating a deposit signal indicative of a size of an object to be deposited into the enclosure. The system further includes a controller generating first and second actuation signals. The partition actuator moves the partitions to the predetermined positions to define a compartment sized for receiving the object in response to receiving the first actuation signal from the controller. The cover actuator moves the cover elements to the predetermined locations for uncovering the compartment in response to receiving the second actuation signal from the controller.

STORAGE BOX ASSEMBLY FOR A VEHICLE
A storage box assembly for a vehicle includes a storage box having a wall, and a tongue assembly connected to the wall. The tongue assembly has a grip selectively movable between first and second positions, and first and second tongues connected to the grip and movable with the grip. When the grip is in the first position, the first tongue is in an operative position. A first spacing is defined between the first tongue and the wall for receiving a first retaining member having a first thickness between the first tongue and the wall. When the grip is in the second position, the second tongue is in an operative position. A second spacing is defined between the second tongue and the wall for receiving a second retaining member having a second thickness between the second tongue and the wall.
