Abstract:
A pick-up truck cargo bed partitioning system indexed to the wheel wells of the pick-up truck, comprising:a planar base configured to lay flat on a floor of a pick-up truck cargo bed generally between the wheel wells of the pick-up truck, the base having a transverse forward edge configured to extend across the floor of the pick-up truck bed forward of the wheel wells, a transverse rearward edge configured to extend across the floor of the pick-up truck cargo bed rearward of the wheel wells;a discrete partitioning panel hingedly connected to a first of the transverse edges of the base, the discrete partitioning panel being pivotably movable with respect to the base between a first position wherein the discrete partitioning panel lays flat on the floor of the pick-up truck cargo bed and a second position wherein the discrete partitioning panel is oriented in an upright position with respect to the floor of the pick-up truck cargo bed to divide the pick-up truck cargo bed into compartments; andwherein the partitioning system is indexed to the wheel wells of the pick-up truck to restrain the partitioning system against translational movement along the floor of the pick-up truck cargo bed and retain the base in a substantially fixed position between the wheel wells with the base laying flat against the floor of the pick-up truck cargo bed.
