Furthermore, a cargo space cladding for a cargo space of a vehicle and a manufacturing method for manufacturing an interior module is provided.

A cargo container configured to fit in a passenger vehicle is disclosed. Embodiments of the container is configured with attachments for attaching to the lip of the opening of a trunk or a hatchback, thereby sealing a substantial portion of the area of the opening. The sealing configuration effectively prevents contamination of the vehicle during loading of the container. Embodiments of the container may also include a lip configured to drape over the bumper of the vehicle during loading. Once loaded, the container may be closed and secured.

A modular portable storage container system includes a storage container having first and second sections. The first section defines a first partial volume of storage space and the second section defines a second partial volume of storage space. The system further includes a lock mechanism with a lock arm, lock handle, and pivot shaft defining an axis of rotation. The lock arm and handle are fixed for common rotation with the pivot shaft. The arm extends radially outward from the pivot shaft to a roller assembly. A lock track is disposed within the second section and extends from a fluted open portion to a closed end, with a continuous track portion disposed therebetween. The first and second sections are movable between at least closed and open positions. In the closed position, the roller assembly engages with the lock track and retains the first section in contact with the second portion.

A vehicle includes a body structure defining a front trunk having a front opening. A grille coves the front opening in a closed position and is pivotable about a vertical hinge, or a horizontal hinge along a top edge, secured to the body structure to provide access to the front opening. The grille may include a bin mounted on an inner surface of the grille and pivotable with the grille, a heating/cooling duct or a video display.

The present invention is a device and method for preventing cargo in the cargo area of a vehicle from shifting forward in an accident, the vehicle having a horizontally hinged rear door.

A baggage storage and retention system includes a first vehicle seat receiving a first passenger in a vehicle. A second vehicle seat of the vehicle receives a second passenger. Each vehicle seat has a seatbelt assembly generating a seatbelt locked signal when one of the first or second passengers seated in the vehicle seat closes the seatbelt assembly defining a seatbelt closed condition. A vehicle storage compartment has multiple strap and/or lock assemblies. A first strap assembly generates a first strap locked signal when a first baggage item of the first passenger is placed in the vehicle storage compartment, engaged with the first baggage item and closed defining a strap assembly closed condition. A passenger and baggage identification system receives the seatbelt locked signal and the first strap locked signal and links the first passenger to the first seat and the first baggage item to the first passenger.

A system and method for mounting structures to a vehicle may include providing an anchor point; the anchor point may have of an anchor point aperture in a structural member. The system and method may also include securing a plate to the anchor point by aligning an aperture in an anchor flange of the plate with the anchor point aperture. The system and method may also include locating a fastener through the anchor flange aperture and the anchor point aperture to secure the plate to the anchor point.

A portable transport container includes at least one base panel and at least four side panels which are connected to one another with pivotable connections in order to enable a movement of the transport container at least between an open use position and a closed storage position. The at least one base panel and the four side panels are composed primarily of plastic. A plurality of reinforcing elements comprising plastic film are provided which are connected in a firmly bonded manner at least in sections contiguously near to the surface either to the base panel or to one of the four side panels. A transport container holder system of a vehicle includes at least one such portable transport container and a trunk floor and/or a backseat bench of the vehicle, in which at least one open cavity for accommodating one of the portable transport containers is provided for each of the portable transport containers.

A loudspeaker system for vehicle has a wall of a frame of a vehicle that separates an exterior from an interior and has a through hole, a box mounted in the wall in correspondence of the through hole, a loudspeaker mounted in the box, a back resonance chamber formed between the membrane of the loudspeaker and the walls of the box, a through hole obtained in a wall of the box and disposed in register with the hole of the wall of the frame of the vehicle and a partition of sound-absorbing material that closes the through hole of the wall of the box.

Various storage system embodiments are described. Each storage system is displaceable between a stowed position and an erected configuration wherein the storage system provides a storage compartment for retaining and protecting smaller delicate items from being displaced and potentially damaged within the greater expanse of a cargo compartment of a motor vehicle.
