VEHICLE BODY STRUCTURE

摘要

A vehicle body structure includes a rear seat, a forward shelf and an aft shelf. The forward shelf is movable between first and second retention locations and the aft shelf is movable between horizontal and vertical retention locations defined by side wall structures. The second retention location is above the first retention location. In the second retention location the forward shelf is located proximate an upper end of the upright seatback. With the aft shelf in the horizontal retention location and the forward shelf in the first retention location, the forward shelf and the aft shelf are co-planar. With the seatback upright, the aft shelf in the vertical retention location and the forward shelf in the second retention location, the back surface of the seatback, the forward shelf and the aft shelf define an enclosed storage space.

1. A vehicle body structure, comprising:
a vehicle floor; a first side wall structure extending upward from a first side of the vehicle floor; a second side wall structure extending upward from a second side of the vehicle floor opposite the first side wall structure, the vehicle floor, the first side wall structure and the second side wall structure at least partially defining a vehicle cargo area; a rear seat fixedly attached to the vehicle floor and having a seatback movable between an upright orientation and a folded orientation, a back surface of the seatback at least partially defining the vehicle cargo area with the seatback in the upright orientation; a forward shelf extending from the first side wall structure to the second side wall structure within the vehicle cargo area, the forward shelf being movable between a first retention location and a second retention location defined by forward shelf supporting surfaces of the first and second side wall structures, the first retention location being defined a first distance above the vehicle floor, the second retention location being defined at a second distance above the vehicle floor, the second distance being greater than the first distance such that with the forward shelf in the second retention location the forward shelf is located proximate an upper end of the seatback with the seatback in the upright orientation; and an aft shelf extending from the first side wall structure to the second side wall structure within the vehicle cargo area adjacent to the forward shelf, the aft shelf being movable between a horizontal retention location and a vertical retention location defined by aft shelf supporting surfaces of the first and second side wall structures such that with the aft shelf in the horizontal retention location and the forward shelf in the first retention location, an upper surface of the forward shelf and an upper surface of the aft shelf are co-planar, and with the seatback in the upright orientation, the aft shelf in the vertical retention location and the forward shelf in the second retention location, the back surface of the seatback, the forward shelf and the aft shelf define a completely enclosed storage space between the first and second side surface structures.
