US 2015/0307016 A1 · Folding Divider Device

Abstract

A folding divider device for separating and transporting items on a truck bed. The divider device includes a first and second panel pivotally connected by a spring-biased hinge that allows the device to open and fold for installation and uninstallation. The surface of the panels comprise one or more channels, wherein one or more dividers are removably attached thereto. The dividers are positioned perpendicularly to the panels to create compartments therebetween. The device further includes inserts that can be used to adjust the length of the device so it fits within a user's truck bed. To prevent the device from shifting while in use, the inserts can removably attach to end pieces, wherein the end pieces can attach to the sides of a truck bed. In the alternative, the inserts can removably attach directly to grooves on the sides of a truck bed.
