A motor vehicle includes a frame, a first pair of wheels connected to the frame, a second pair of wheels connected to the frame, a motor supported by the frame and operatively connected to at least one of the pair of wheels, a cockpit in the frame, a first seat disposed in the cockpit, a bed in the frame longitudinally rearward of the cockpit, the bed having at least one side wall, a second seat disposed in the bed, the second seat having a seat base and a seat back, the seat back having a storage position and a seating position, and a lateral retention member fixed to the at least one side wall of the bed, at least a portion of the lateral retention member being disposed higher than the seat base and forward of the seat back of the second seat when in the seating position.

An example of an apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a mount to secure in a vehicle. The mount includes a first lip to insert into a first gap and a first surface to brace against a first wall. The apparatus further includes an additional mount to secure in the vehicle. The additional mount includes a second lip to insert into a second gap and a second surface to brace against a second wall. The second gap is opposite the first gap and the second wall is opposite the first wall. Furthermore, the apparatus includes a support member supported by the mounts at each end. In addition, the apparatus includes a barrier structure supported by the support member wherein the barrier structure is to separate a first occupant of the vehicle from a second occupant of the vehicle.

A cargo bed cover and rack for a pick-up truck cargo bed, including left and right folding panels having hinges configured to attach to the top rails of a pick-up truck cargo bed, a front crossbar member configured to attach to a fore portion of the truck cargo bed immediately behind the truck cab, a rear crossbar member configured to attach to a rear portion of the truck cargo bed proximate the tail gate, and latching mechanism disposed on the left and right folding panels configured to secure and selectively lock the panels in a cargo compartment storage configuration, and locking structure on at least one of the crossbar members that cooperate with the latching mechanisms to lock the folding panels in a generally upright position to achieve an expanded cargo compartment configuration.

The invention relates to a method for producing a separation net and to a separation net (10), in particular for vehicle interiors, which has a net-like, tear-resistant textile web (11) formed of textile threads (12), which is cut to any peripheral contour, wherein the loose ends (13) of the textile threads (12) that were created by a separating cut are securely bound at the edges in a plastic material of a single-layered edge strip (18). The textile web (11) can have any peripheral contour, and the loose ends (13) of the textile threads (12) of the textile web (11) that were created by a cutting to size are embedded at least at the side edges (16, 17).

A layout system for a cargo area of a vehicle includes a divider and cargo side-trims. The divider includes a first rod, a second rod, and a screen. The cargo side-trims are installed in the vehicle to form sidewalls of the cargo area. The cargo side-trims include rails that include guide rail portions and rail-side securing portions. The guide rail portions are for guiding end portions of the first and the second rods along a front-rear direction of the vehicle. The guide rail portions include horizontal portion and extending portions that extend from the respective horizontal portions toward a lower rear of the vehicle. The rail-side securing portions are connected to the guide rail portions, respectively. The rail-side securing portions are for holding the end portions of the first and the second rods to secure the first and the second rods to the cargo side-trims.

This disclosure details multi-purpose brackets for mounting accessory devices within vehicle cargo spaces. Exemplary multi-purpose brackets include a doubling flange, a first opening formed through the doubling flange, and a second opening formed through another location of the bracket. A first accessory device may be mounted within the first opening, and a second accessory device may be mounted within the second opening. The multi-purpose bracket may be formed in a stamping process that involves folding and clinching the doubling flange to a platform of the bracket.
