Abstract
Security devices include a side panel movably coupled to an attachment mechanism and to a top panel. An extension side panel may be moveably coupled to the side panel and configured to adjust laterally inward and outward relative to the side panel. The side panel is positioned at least substantially transverse to the top panel with the extension side panel extending laterally outward from the side panel when in a secured position, and at least substantially parallel to the top panel with the at least one extension side panel positioned laterally inward and adjacent to the side panel when in a storage position. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also included.
Claims20
A security device for securing an area within a vehicle, comprising:
- an attachment mechanism sized and shaped to be coupled to a portion of a vehicle;
- a side panel movably coupled to the attachment mechanism along a first adjoining edge of the side panel;
- a top panel movably coupled to the side panel along a second adjoining edge of the side panel, wherein the second adjoining edge of the side panel is opposite from the first adjoining edge of the side panel;
- and
- an extension side panel movably coupled to the side panel and configured to be adjusted laterally inward and outward relative to the side panel.
A vehicle, comprising:
- a trunk space with a floor surface;
- a side panel positioned within the trunk space and hingedly coupled to a portion of the trunk space;
- a top panel hingedly coupled to the side panel;
- an extension side panel movably coupled to the side panel and configured to be adjusted laterally inward and outward relative to the side panel;
- and
- wherein the side panel is positioned at least substantially transverse to the top panel and to the floor surface in a secured position, the extension side panel is positioned at least substantially parallel to the side panel in the secured position, the side panel remains coupled to the portion of the trunk space and is positioned at least substantially parallel to the top panel and to the floor surface in a storage position, and a surface of the extension side panel is positioned adjacent to a surface of the side panel in the storage position.
A security device for securing an area within a vehicle, comprising:
- a top panel;
- a side panel hingedly coupled to the top panel;
- an extension side panel hingedly coupled to the side panel;
- wherein the side panel is positioned at least substantially transverse to the top panel, and the extension side panel extends laterally outward from the side panel in a secured position;
- and
- wherein the side panel is positioned at least substantially parallel to the top panel, and the extension side panel is positioned laterally inward relative to the side panel and adjacent the side panel in a storage position.
