First Claim
1. A vehicle trunk compartment cargo management system comprising:
- (a) a trunk floor panel providing a vehicle trunk compartment floor surface;
(b) a seatback having a pair of pockets, each said pocket being adapted to receive and secure a seatback flange extending from a divider oriented in an upright position, said seatback defining a wall of the vehicle trunk compartment; and
(c) a pair of dividers, each divider having a seatback flange sized and shaped to fit within a seatback pocket such that the seatback flange secures the divider in an upright position to the seatback, each said divider being pivotally attached to the trunk floor panel such that each divider may pivot between an upright position and a closed position, said closed position being substantially parallel to the trunk floor panel.

Abstract
A vehicle trunk compartment cargo management system is comprised of a trunk floor panel, a seatback and a pair of dividers. The trunk floor panel provides a vehicle trunk compartment floor surface. The seatback has a pair of pockets. Each pocket secures a seatback flange extending from a divider oriented in an upright position. Each divider has a seatback flange which fits within a seatback pocket to secure the divider in an upright position to the seatback. The dividers are pivotally attached to the trunk floor panel such that they may pivot between an upright position and a closed position. When the dividers are locked into an upright position they form three sub compartments within the vehicle trunk compartment. An optional cargo net fits over the dividers to cover the sub compartments.

7. A vehicle trunk compartment cargo management system comprising:
-
(a) a trunk floor panel having a pair of recesses for receiving a pair of dividers; (b) a seatback having a pair of pockets, each said pocket being adapted to receive and secure a seatback flange extending from a divider oriented in an upright position, wherein said seatback defines a trunk compartment wall; (c) a backtrim member aligned with and contiguous with another trunk compartment wall, said backtrim member having a pair of pockets, each said backtrim pocket being adapted to releasably receive and secure a backtrim flange extending from a divider oriented in an upright position; (d) a pair of dividers, each said divider being shaped to fit within a recess of the trunk floor panel, each said divider being pivotally attached to the trunk floor panel such that each divider may pivot between an upright position with respect to the trunk floor panel and a closed position, each divider having a seatback flange sized and shaped to fit within a seatback pocket such that the seatback flange secures the divider in an upright position to the seatback, each divider having a backtrim flange sized and shaped to fit within a backtrim member pocket such that the backtrim flange releasably secures the divider in an upright position to the backtrim member, each said divider being further shaped such that sub compartments are formed within the trunk compartment when the dividers are pivoted into an upright position with respect to the trunk floor panel. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A vehicle trunk compartment cargo management system comprising:
-
(a) a trunk floor panel having a pair of recesses for receiving a pair of dividers, a pair of recesses for receiving a pair of hinges, a pair of openings each of which opens on a bottom side of the trunk floor panel for receiving and securing a tongue of a knob and tongue lock, a pair of recesses for providing a hand access area between the trunk floor panel and a divider; (b) a seatback having a pair of pockets, each said pocket being adapted to receive and secure a seatback flange extending from a divider oriented in an upright position, wherein said seatback defines a trunk compartment wall; (c) a backtrim member aligned with and contiguous with another trunk compartment wall, said backtrim member having a pair of pockets, each said backtrim pocket being adapted to releasably receive and secure a backtrim flange extending from a divider oriented in an upright position; and (d) a pair of dividers, each said divider being shaped to fit within a recess of the trunk floor panel, each said divider being pivotally attached to the trunk floor panel with a hinge, said hinge being positioned within a trunk floor panel hinge recess, such that each divider may pivot between an upright position perpendicular to the trunk floor panel and a closed position wherein each divider fits within a trunk floor panel divider recess such that the trunk floor panel and the divider have a common coplanar flat upper surface, each divider having a rotatable knob and tongue wherein the tongue extends from the knob and is shaped, sized and positioned to rotate into a tongue opening of the floor panel and to be positioned on the bottom side of the trunk floor panel for releasably securing the divider to the trunk floor panel, each divider having a seatback flange sized and shaped to fit within a seatback pocket such that the seatback flange secures the divider in an upright position to the seatback, each divider having a backtrim flange sized and shaped to fit within a backtrim member pocket such that the backtrim flange releasably secures the divider in an upright position to the backtrim member, each said divider being further shaped such that three sub compartments are formed within the trunk compartment when the dividers are pivoted into an upright position perpendicular to the trunk floor panel. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
