Vehicle storage support device
First Claim
1. A free-standing vehicle storage support device adapted for installation in and removal from a motor vehicle having an interior storage space formed by spaced apart side walls, a seat with a back rest having a rear back rest surface, and a rear lifting hatch or door, said device comprising:
- a) a generally horizontally extending platform having spaced apart first and second ends defining a platform length dimension and rotatably connected to first and second vertical support panels, respectively, and means for adjusting said platform length and having spaced apart front and rear edges defining a platform width dimension;
b) wherein each vertical support panel has a height dimension and means for adjusting the height dimension of said each vertical support panel and wherein said each vertical support panel has a front panel edge and a rear panel edge defining a width dimension that is substantially equal to said platform width dimension and a substantially vertical surface with a portion of the substantially vertical surface having a plurality of elongate, generally parallel, vertically oriented raised contact surfaces for placement against one of the spaced apart side walls of the interior storage space.
