Abstract:
A cargo liner for a vehicle may include a cargo area portion sized and configured to extend over a horizontally-oriented cargo area of a vehicle. The cover may also include a seatback portion coupled to the lower portion. The seatback portion may be sized and configured to extend upwardly over a seatback of a vehicle seat. The seatback portion may include a first section, a second section, and a third section. Each of the first section, the second section, and the third section may extend from an upper edge of the upper portion to the cargo area portion. The cargo liner may include a guard portion elevating mechanism that is manipulable to cause the guard portion to transition between a lowered state and an elevated state wherein at least a segment of the guard portion proximate the cargo bed portion extends upwardly to provide a rear barrier.

Claim (Index 13):
A cargo liner for a vehicle, comprising:\n a cargo bed portion sized and configured to extend over a horizontally-oriented surface of a vehicle cargo area; a seatback portion extending from the cargo bed portion, wherein the seatback portion is sized and configured to extend upwardly over a seatback of a vehicle seat; a guard portion coupled to a lower edge of the cargo bed portion and configured to extend over a bumper of the vehicle; a guard portion elevating mechanism that is manipulable to cause the guard portion to transition between a lowered state wherein the guard portion is configured to extend over the bumper of the vehicle and an elevated state wherein at least a segment of the guard portion proximate the cargo bed portion extends upwardly to provide a barrier to better retain objects within the vehicle cargo area; and a stiffening rod extending across the guard portion parallel to a line of transition between the cargo bed portion and the guard portion and spaced from the line of transition, whereby when the guard portion elevating mechanism is manipulated to cause the guard portion to be in the elevated state, the stiffening rod is located proximate an upper edge of the guard portion, thereby stiffening the upper edge of the guard portion to better retain objects within the vehicle cargo area.
