Abstract
A vehicle module system is disclosed. The system includes a track assembly operably coupled with a body of a vehicle. One or more modules may be removably and slidably coupled with the track assembly. The modules include base structure defining an attachment point. A rail feature is disposed along a bottom portion of the base structure. An attachment feature having a retainer for removably coupling to the attachment point to the base structure.
Claims20
A vehicle module system, comprising:
- a module comprising a base structure and defining an attachment point;
- a rail feature disposed along a bottom portion of the base structure, wherein the base structure slidably translates along one or more rails on a vehicle floor;
- and
- one or more attachment features having a retainer for removably coupling the one or more attachment features to the attachment point on the module.
A vehicle module system, comprising:
- a module comprising a base structure defining a first upper attachment point and a second peripheral attachment point;
- a rail feature disposed along a bottom portion of the base structure, wherein the base structure slidably translates along one or more rails on a vehicle floor;
- and
- first and second attachment features operably coupled and supported by the respective first and second attachment points on the module.
A vehicle, comprising:
- a body defining a passenger compartment;
- a track assembly operably coupled with the body and oriented in a latitudinal direction;
- and
- one or more modules removably and slidably coupled with the track assembly, wherein the one or more modules comprise a base structure and defining one or more attachment points through which one or more attachment features are removably coupled to the one or more modules.
