Load floor assembly for a motor vehicle and trunk with such a load floor assembly

A load floor assembly for a motor vehicle (2) with a rigid floor element (10) that comprises a covering surface (20) for covering a trunk recess (18) and bearing surfaces (32, 34, 36, 38, 40, 42) that are operatively connected to contact surfaces (24, 26, 28, 30) that at least partly enclose the trunk recess (18),

• the floor element (10) comprises a first floor section (14) connected to a second floor section (16) by a hinge means (12) such that the first floor section (14) can pivot about an axis extending in a transverse direction of the motor vehicle,
• wherein end faces (48, 50) of the floor sections (14, 16) that face one another comprise engagement surfaces (52, 54) that have a reduced cross-sectional height, such that the floor sections (14, 16) engage in one another while a cross-sectional height of the floor element (10) remains unchanged,
• the first engagement surface (52) being arranged above the second engagement surface (54) and having a rounded portion (56) that faces the second engagement surface (54),
• wherein the engagement surfaces (52, 54) are configured such that the engagement surfaces extend in the transverse direction of the motor vehicle,
• wherein each of the floor sections (14, 16) respectively comprise an underlayer (58, 60), each of the underlayers is rigid at least in a region in which the engagement surfaces (52, 54) lie on top of one another, wherein the second engagement surface (54) rests on the underlayer (58) of the first engagement surface (52).
