Abstract
A storage unit for an automotive vehicle storage area, defined by a floor bounded by generally vertically extending vehicle panels, has a base member, a pair of side supports attached at opposing ends of the base members, a pair of side members hingedly attached to the pair of side supports for pivotable movement between the deployed position and a stored position, a track system on a storage area facing surface of the side members, at least one removable shelf cooperative with the track system for alternatively dividing the storage area into generally vertical or horizontal storage compartments, and manually operable lock members attached to an outboard surface of the side supports and side members for releasable engagement with a lock engagement attached to the vehicle panels. The storage unit has an installed position for dividing the storage area into alternately vertical or horizontal storage compartments, and is collapsible into a transportable position for convenient transit when not installed in the storage area.
