Patent ID: 10160386

Abstract:
Aspects of the disclosure provide an adjustable storage panel apparatus for a vehicle (e.g., bus) that includes an upper panel assembly; a lower panel assembly, wherein an upper edge of the lower panel assembly pivotably engages a bottom edge of the upper panel assembly; opposing horizontal tracks comprising a front end and a back end, the horizontal tracks configured to be disposed on each of opposing side walls of the vehicle, wherein the lower panel assembly slideably engages each of the opposing horizontal tracks; and opposing vertical tracks comprising an upper end and a lower end, the vertical tracks configured to be disposed on each of opposing side walls of the vehicle along a vertical plane. The upper panel assembly slideably engages each of the opposing vertical tracks such that the upper and lower panel assemblies are positioned along the vertical plane in an extended position and the lower panel assembly is capable of being slid along a length of the horizontal track such that the lower panel assembly remains substantially parallel to the vertical plane and the upper panel assembly becomes oriented at an angle relative to both the vertical plane along the opposing vertical tracks and the lower panel assembly.
