Vehicular luggage tray apparatus
A vehicular luggage tray apparatus is capable of receiving and storing goods in a main tray and a sub tray, and of receiving and storing the main tray and the sub tray in an unused space in a side wall of a luggage room of a vehicle.
UNIVERSAL FOOD CONTAINER TRANSPORTATION DEVICE
A device for transporting a food container, the device having a frame with a first end and a second end, wherein the first end and the second end are configured to be fastened together by at least one fastener located thereon; an interior side and an exterior side; and a top surface and a bottom surface; and wherein a plurality of tabs extend from the exterior side.
Reconfigurable storage assembly for a vehicle
A reconfigurable storage assembly for a vehicle includes a first floor panel and a second floor panel. The first floor panel includes a first outboard region, a first inboard region, and a first underside surface. The first outboard region is configured to be coupled to a base of the vehicle. The first floor panel is configured to pivot in a first rotational direction from a first closed position to a first open position. The second floor panel includes a second outboard region, a second inboard region, and a second underside surface. The second outboard region is configured to be coupled to the base. The second floor panel is configured to pivot in a second rotational direction opposite the first rotational direction from a second closed position to a second open position.
Loading space device for a front end of a motor vehicle
A loading space device of a front end of a motor vehicle includes a loading space which is displaceable between a stowage position accommodated in the front end and an access position extended at least partially out of the front end. A delimiting wall configured as a flap delimits the loading space and in the access position of the loading space is displaceable to a loading position. The flap is configured as a covering element to cover, in the loading position, a component of the front end disposed in a longitudinal direction of the motor vehicle in front of the loading space. In the access position, as opposed to the stowage position, the loading space is disposed sloping towards an exterior of the motor vehicle.

Morphing trunk organizer using SMA enhanced bi-stable strips
A cargo organizer is constructed from one or more bi-stable strips with at least one shape memory alloy (SMA) actuator per bi-stable strip. The cargo organizer can reside in the bi-stable strips elongated (flat) stable state and require little or no volume of the cargo compartment that it resides. Upon actuating a SMA actuator, the rapid conversion to the curved stable state can occur with the formation of a barrier to partition the cargo compartment into at least to portions. The transformation into the flat stable state removes the partition where the transformation can be via a second SMA actuator or manually. The cargo organizer can be incorporated into the cargo compartment in a manner that it translates from one site and orientation to one or more other sites or orientations by activation an actuator that can be an additional SMA actuator.

Mountable rapid access vehicular gun case
A rapid access vehicular gun case assembly capable of mounting and operating in any orientation is disclosed. An exemplary assembly can comprise a base plate mounted to the trunk lid of a vehicle, an outer shell, a door assembly, a locking mechanism, and a removable transportation bag. The assembly is configured to mount in unused spaces within vehicles and securely store a variety of weapons while also facilitating rapid access to authorized persons. The gun case can comprise a removable transportation bag allowing for the transfer of weapons between the assembly and other locations in a covert manner that does not require directly handling or exposing the weapon to public view. Upon activation of manual lock, momentary switch, or RFID module the gun case assembly will unlatch and the door will automatically deploy to expose the contents for rapid access. In other embodiments, the assembly may hold various other articles.
