| 20080252091 | Cargo Retention Device and Method - A device and method is provided for retaining cargo within a vehicle passenger compartment including a retaining portion and a vehicle seat having a lower seat portion, an upper back portion, and a frame. The retaining portion comprises a strap or mat which is operatively attached at one end to a front portion of the vehicle seat, while the other end is accessible within a bite line formed between the mating seat and back portions. The retaining portion is connectable to a front portion of the vehicle seat by means of either an open-ended hook or a snap-hook and an anchor, or by a snap fastener, the retaining portion being configured to secure cargo with respect to one of the seat portions. The device also includes a retractor mechanism such as a spring and spool operable to retract the retaining portion into the bite line for stowage. | 10-16-2008 |
| 20090001749 | VEHICLE SEAT UMBRELLA HOLDER - An umbrella retaining device may be incorporated into or integrally attached to a vehicle seat from the vehicle factory and may employ a compartment or holder that defines a ventilation and drain hole to drain water from a wet umbrella. An umbrella compartment may further comprise a flap pivoting along a bottom edge of the compartment, a gusset on each side of the flap, and a snap or magnetic closure device proximate to the flap's upper edge. Alternatively, an umbrella retaining compartment may angularly lie within a bottom portion of the seat or seat supporting portion, such as a front seat side shield. The compartment may have a cover, such as a pivoting cover. Alternatively, the umbrella retaining member may be a vertical tubular restraining member with a top, angled opening and a bottom opening. A support loop may lie below the tubular member to provide vertical support. | 01-01-2009 |
| 20100320794 | MODULAR VEHICLE FLOOR SYSTEM - A modular vehicle floor system is provided that has a floor pan with integrated storage compartments. A floor is defined by a deck and compartment lids that overlie the floor pan and can provide a waterproof seal for the storage compartments. The deck and compartment lids together define a substantially flat surface that is covered by a vehicle carpet. The deck can include basket-like liners extending downwardly therefrom that nest within the storage compartments and define the inner surface(s) of usable spaces within the storage compartments. The deck includes a raceway system with one or more troughs or ports that house lengths of vehicle wiring, under the deck surface. The deck can further include flanges and/or tabs for serving as mounting substrates, against which sills and other hard trim components are mounted, allowing trim components to be mounted to the deck and not mounted directly to the vehicle body. | 12-23-2010 |
| 20110148136 | MOTOR VEHICLE - A motor vehicle has a storage compartment which contains a housing and a lid which closes the housing. The storage compartment further has a locking mechanism which has a housing-side closing bar and a lid-side bolt which interacts with the latter and which engages behind the closing bar in the locked state and releases from the closing bar through rotation. The storage compartment is arranged essentially vertically between two rear seats of the motor vehicle, wherein the lid can be adjusted between a closed position which abuts against the housing and an open position which is moved forward. An arrestor hook, which is formed as an emergency securing device, is arranged on an inner side of the lid. If force is suddenly applied to the housing in the direction of the lid, in particular in the event of a crash, the arrestor hook engages behind the closing bar and as a result prevents undesired opening of the lid. | 06-23-2011 |
| 20110304169 | ELECTRICAL COMPONENT HOUSING DEVICE AND CONSTRUCTION MACHINE INCORPORATED WITH THE SAME - An electrical component housing device is provided with a housing box | 12-15-2011 |
| 20130249233 | ACCOMMODATION STRUCTURE FOR SADDLE TYPE VEHICLE - An accommodation structure for a saddle type vehicle wherein the accommodation space can be expanded by a simple and easy configuration. An opening is provided in a rear wall of an accommodation box that is opened and closed by an occupant's seat. Further, a sub-accommodation box is provided that is in the form of a box open in a forward direction and is mounted so as to close up the opening and be swollen rearwardly farther than the opening. | 09-26-2013 |
| 20140191529 | STORAGE STRUCTURE FOR VEHICLE - A storage structure for a vehicle includes a storage part that is movable between a use position and a retracted position and is biased toward the use position; a lock mechanism that locks the storage part in the retracted position; and a button that is provided separately from the storage part and is used to unlock the storage part that is locked by the lock mechanism. The storage part is not moved to the use position by pressing the button from an initial position, and the storage part is moved to the use position by restoring the button from the pressed state to the initial position. | 07-10-2014 |
| 20150108781 | STORAGE STRUCTURE FOR VEHICLE - A storage structure for a vehicle includes a storage part that is movable between a use position and a retracted position and is biased toward the use position; a lock mechanism that locks the storage part in the retracted position; and a button that is provided separately from the storage part and is used to unlock the storage part that is locked by the lock mechanism. The storage part is not moved to the use position by pressing the button from an initial position, and the storage part is moved to the use position by restoring the button from the pressed state to the initial position. | 04-23-2015 |
