LUGGAGE SPACE-EXTENSIBLE SLIDABLE AND PIVOTABLE BOARD STRUCTURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18130123 titled 'LUGGAGE SPACE-EXTENSIBLE SLIDABLE AND PIVOTABLE BOARD STRUCTURE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a luggage space-extensible slidable and pivotable board structure for vehicles. The board assembly can slide forward or backward and pivot upward in the vehicle's luggage space, with a rail section coupled to a hinge part for pivotable movement. A handle assembly on the outer side locks and unlocks the board assembly, allowing it to slide along the rail section and pivot about the hinge part when locked.

  • Board structure for vehicles with sliding and pivoting capabilities
  • Rail section for pivotable movement along with the board assembly
  • Handle assembly for locking and unlocking the board assembly
  • Ability to slide and pivot in the vehicle's luggage space
