A method provides anti-trap protection for a motor vehicle, in which a miniature safety edge is arranged on a first interior component which is movable in automated fashion relative to a second interior component by way of a control device. An automated movement of the interior components relative to one another via the control device is prevented when the miniature safety edge is actuated.

Methods, apparatuses, and systems are described for a cargo storage assembly. The system includes a first panel, a second panel, an overlap, and a hinge. The hinge is configured to rotate the second panel to a vertical orientation with respect to the first panel to expose an underfloor compartment. The first panel has a groove proximate to the second panel that extends along a top surface of the first panel. The second panel has a protrusion proximate to the first panel that extends along a bottom surface of the second panel. The protrusion of the second panel corresponds in size to the groove of the first panel. The overlap is formed between the groove and the protrusion with the first panel and the second panel in a horizontal configuration.

Systems, methods, tangible non-transitory computer-readable media, and devices associated with the operation of a vehicle are provided. For example, a receptacle system can determine states of a receptacle of a vehicle. Further, the states of the receptacle can be associated with accommodation of objects by the receptacle. The receptacle system can receive object data that includes information associated with accommodation of the objects by the receptacle. The receptacle system can also determine operations associated with the receptacle based at least in part on the object data and the states of the receptacle. Furthermore, the receptacle system can generate control signals to perform the operations associated with the receptacle which can include transporting objects in the receptacle, charging objects in the receptacle, extending the receptacle, or retracting the receptacle.

A storage compartment cover for a vehicle, the storage compartment cover including a housing that supports a winding shaft on an inside of the housing so that the winding shaft is rotatable about a winding shaft axis; a cover web that is supported on the winding shaft and pullable from the winding shaft; two axial housing ends that are respectively covered by respective end caps, wherein at least one movable end cap of the respective end caps is supported moveable between an axially outer engagement position and an axially inner disengagement position; a spring element that supports the at least one movable end cap in the engagement position and imparts a spring reset force upon the at least one movable end cap when the at least one movable end cap is moved into the disengagement position.

A trunk structure for a vehicle improves retainment performance of goods to a vehicle body in a cargo net, and improves flexibility of the layout of a trunk board. The trunk structure includes a trunk board, a hook member attached to the trunk board to which a cargo net covering goods can be locked, an interior member which constitutes an inside surface of a trunk, and an engaged portion of the interior member which the hook member can engage, the engaged portion restraining movement of the trunk board in an up-down direction when the engaged portion is engaged with the hook member. The hook member is switchable between an engaged state where the hook member engages the engaged portion and a non-engaged state where the engagement is released, and retains the engaged state by locking the cargo net to the hook member.

A motor vehicle includes a boot lid and a receiving device. The receiving device is configured to receive an electric miniature vehicle. The receiving device has a frame, a flexible bag, and a cover that is openable, where the flexible bag and the frame are sealable by the cover from above. The receiving device in a mounted state is arrangeable behind a back seat of the motor vehicle such that the cover in a closed state forms a rear parcel shelf. The receiving device has an electric port where via the electric port the electric miniature vehicle is attachable to an on-board power supply of the motor vehicle for charging a battery of the electric miniature vehicle.

The present application relates to a caravan. The caravan includes a chassis and a body for being carried by the chassis and defining a tapering tail. The tapering tail provides for improved rear clearance and maneuverability when backing into tight spaces. The caravan includes one or more storage modules for being releasably fastenable to the body.

A platform for the rear of a vehicle has a rear portion positionable within a trunk space and comprises a rear upper platform surface raised by at least one rear support. The rear portion has a first width and a first length extending across the trunk surface. A front portion comprises a front upper platform surface raised by at least one front support. The front portion has a second length and a second width extending across the folded rear seat surface. The front support rests upon the folded rear seat surface and is positionable along the second length so that the front upper platform surface and the rear upper platform surface combine to create an approximately flat continuous surface. A wing is mounted to the front portion that adjusts the width of the front portion by angling to a maximum of 180 degrees relative to the front upper platform surface.
