A cargo area partition system for a vehicle includes a rear seat positioned within a cabin area of the vehicle and adjacent a cargo area in the vehicle. The rear seat includes a rear seat back that is pivotally positionable between an upright position and a substantially horizontal position. The system further includes a seat striker adapted to engage and to releasably fix the rear seat back in an upright position, and a partition panel configured to releasably engage the seat striker and define a partition in the cargo area when the rear seat back is positioned in the substantially horizontal position.

A vehicle is disclosed that includes an accessory separating a cargo area from a passenger seating area and a mounting system that is configured to support the accessory. The mounting system includes a first bracket that is secured to a body panel of the vehicle and a second bracket that is connected to the first bracket. The first bracket is positioned between the body panel and a headliner of the vehicle such that the first bracket is concealed by the headliner. The second bracket is configured for connection to the accessory and extends through an opening in the headliner such that a first section of the second bracket is concealed by the headliner and a second section of the second bracket is exposed from the headliner, whereby the headliner is movable relative to and about the second bracket upon deployment of an airbag so as to reduce interference therewith.

This disclosure is related to vehicle partition devices, assemblies, systems, and methods of using the same. The vehicle partition devices can be configured to prevent, or at least mitigate, the spread of pathogens inside of a vehicle cabin. In certain embodiments, the vehicle partition devices can include a flexible and/or deformable configuration that permits the vehicle partitions to be easily installed and uninstalled within vehicle cabins of varying sizes. In certain embodiments, the vehicle partition devices also can be transitioned to spacing-saving configurations, which permit the vehicle partition devices to be stored compactly when not in use.

An assembly includes an interior component. The assembly includes a deployable panel having an upper panel and a lower panel supported by the interior component, the deployable panel being movable relative to the interior component from a retracted position to an extended position. The assembly includes a hinge between the upper panel and the lower panel. The assembly includes an airbag inflatable to an inflated position in which the airbag is positioned to abut the upper panel in the extended position.

A device that supports a motor vehicle component includes a plate that is equipped with a securing device for securing a protective casing of the component and an attachment device for attaching to a structural element of the chassis of the motor vehicle. The attachment device is designed to break in the event of a collision involving the motor vehicle. The support device also includes a deflector that forms a ramp tilted upwards, one end of which extends at the height of the plate and an opposing end of which is tilted relative to the plate. This support device helps protect the occupant in case of a frontal impact collision by preventing rigid members from stacking up in a critical manner in the engine compartment.

The rear seat includes a rear seat back that is pivotally positionable between an upright position and a substantially horizontal position. The system further includes a seat striker adapted to engage and to releasably fix the rear seat back in an upright position, and a partition panel configured to releasably engage the seat striker and define a partition in the cargo area when the rear seat back is positioned in the substantially horizontal position.

A passenger transport vehicle includes a vehicle body having at least one left passenger compartment arranged in a travel direction on a left side of the vehicle, and at least one right passenger compartment arranged in a travel direction on a right side of the vehicle. Each passenger compartment has at least one passenger space and an access door to permit ingress into and egress from the at least one passenger space. A partition wall is arranged between the at least one left passenger compartment and the at least one right passenger compartment to restrict entry of passengers between the left passenger compartment and the right passenger compartment.

A partition assembly for a vehicle can include a partition member, a platform member, and a drawer. The partition member can extend along a first axis, have a first side surface and a second side surface, and define a storage area and a prisoner area. The platform member can be coupled to the first side surface of the partition member and can extend from the partition member along a second axis perpendicular to the first axis. The drawer can be coupled to the platform member and can be slidable between an open position and a closed position along the second axis.
