Device for dividing the storage space behind a seat in a vehicle, especially a private car
First Claim
1. Device for dividing the storage space (40) behind a seat in a vehicle, especially in a passenger car, where the seat (10) consists of a flat seat part (11) and a backrest (12);
- with a cover panel, which has a horizontal hinge along one edge;
which hinge allows the cover panel to fold up and down with respect to the floor (15) of the vehicle and thus moved between a storage position and a non-storage position;
and with stationary support surfaces (28) in the vehicle, which position the cover panel in its storage, i.e., down, position a defined vertical distance from the floor of the vehicle and divide the single large storage space (40) into two levels, one above the other;
whereas the two levels combine to form a single large storage space (40) when the cover panel is in its non-storage, i.e., up, position, characterized in that the cover panel (21) is attached by the hinge (22) to the rear surface (19) of the seat (10) and forms a preassembled structural unit (20) together with the seat (10);
in that the cover panel (21), when in its non-storage position, rests flush against the rear surface (19) of the backrest (12) and is held in this up position (21.1) by retaining means (30) located on the seat (10); and
in that when the cover panel (21) is in its storage position, it projects out from the rear surface (19) of the backrest (12) and is positioned in this down position (21.2) by the stationary support surfaces (28) to form an upper cover panel (21), carried by the seat (10).

Abstract
The invention relates to a device for dividing (41, 42) the storage space behind a seat, comprising a storage floor (21) having a horizontal hinge (22). The storage floor (21) can be unfolded (46) or folded up in relation to the vehicle floor. Said hinge (22) enables the storage floor (21) to alternate between being in a storage position and a non-storage position. The invention aims to facilitate structure and handling. In order to achieve this, the storage floor (21) is fixed to the rear (19) of the seat by means of the hinge (22), forming a unit comprising the storage floor (21) and seat, which can be pre-assembled. In the non-storage position, the storage floor (21) folds onto the rear side (19) of the back of the seat (12) and is fixed thereto by a retaining means (30). In the storage position (21.2), the storage floor (21) juts out of the back of the seat (12) and is held in position by means of supporting surfaces (28). Said storage floor forms an upper storage floor (25) located above the vehicle floor.
