US 8,770,661 B2 · Configurable underseat storage feature

Abstract

A vehicular underseat storage assembly includes a rigid first side wall pivotally connected to a first stanchion. A rigid second side wall is pivotally connected to a second stanchion. A rigid front wall couples a forward end of the first side wall to a forward end of the second side wall. The first side wall, second side wall, and front wall define a storage cavity operable between a collapsed condition and a deployed condition. Substantially all of an inside surface of the first side wall is in abutting contact with an inside surface of the front wall when the storage cavity is in the collapsed condition.
