Abstract
A cargo containment system for a vehicle includes a main panel attached to a floor of the vehicle and rotatable relative to the floor between a stowed position substantially parallel to the floor and a use position substantially perpendicular to the floor and a first side panel rotatably attached to the main panel and movable with the main panel between the stowed position and the use position, the first side panel cooperating with the main panel to define a cargo storage area in the use position.

A cargo containment system for a vehicle, the cargo containment system comprising:
- a main panel attached to a floor of the vehicle and rotatable relative to the floor about a pin between a stowed position substantially parallel to the floor and a use position substantially perpendicular to the floor, the pin including a groove;
- a retainer attached to the floor, defining a channel configured to receive the pin, and including a projection, the projection being received by the groove of the pin when the main panel is in the use position to maintain the main panel in the use position;
- and
- a first side panel rotatably attached to the main panel and movable with the main panel between the stowed position and the use position, the first side panel cooperating with the main panel to define a cargo storage area in the use position.
A cargo containment system for a vehicle, the cargo containment system comprising:
- a main panel attached to a floor of the vehicle and rotatable relative to the floor about at least one pin between a stowed position substantially parallel to the floor and a use position substantially perpendicular to the floor, a pin of the at least one pin including a groove;
- and
- a retainer attached to the floor and defining a channel rotatably receiving the pin of the at least one pin and including a projection, the groove of the pin of the at least one pin configured to receive the projection when the main panel is in the use position to maintain the main panel in the use position.
