In various embodiments, the lid 30 is configured to be received within at least one receiving slot 28 defined within the storage compartment 22 in at least one divider position. In some embodiments, the lid 30 may be operable between a capping position and a plurality of divider positions. For example, in the embodiment shown in fig. 6-9, the cover 30 is operable to enter four divider positions via receipt of the cover 30 within each of the four receiving slots 28 defined by the first side 36 of the side wall 26 defining the storage compartment 22. Although not shown in fig. 6-9, when the cover 30 is in the four divider positions shown in fig. 6-9, the cover 30 may also be received within the receiving slot 28 defined by the second side 38 of the sidewall 26, which corresponds to the four receiving slots 28 defined by the first side 36 of the sidewall 26, as described above.

In some embodiments, the cover 30 may be oriented at an angle within the at least one receiving slot 28 when in the at least one divider position such that one of the top side 54 and the bottom side 56 of the cover 30 faces a vehicle downward direction. In some embodiments, the vehicle downward direction includes one of a vehicle rearward component and a vehicle forward component. For example, in the embodiment shown in fig. 7, the cover 30 is received in the receiving groove 28 of the first connecting portion 40 second closest to the side wall 26, and the cover 30 rests against the inclined inner surface of the receiving groove 28 such that the bottom side 56 of the cover 30 faces the vehicle downward direction. When the cargo area floor 16 is coupled to the vehicle 14 as shown in fig. 7, the first connection portion 40 of the side wall 26 is vehicle rearward of the second connection portion 42 of the side wall 26 as shown in fig. 1. Thus, the downward direction of the vehicle that the bottom side 56 of the angled cover 30 of FIG. 7 faces includes a forward component of the vehicle.

Still referring to fig. 6-9, in some embodiments, wherein at least a first receiving slot 28 and a second receiving slot 28 are defined within the storage compartment 22, the lid 30 may be operable between a first divider position wherein the lid 30 is received within the first receiving slot 28 and extends a first distance into the storage compartment 22 and a second divider position wherein the lid 30 is received within the second receiving slot 28 and extends a second distance into the storage compartment 22 that is greater than the first distance. For example, in the embodiment shown in fig. 6-9, the cover 30 is shown in the first divider position in fig. 6, wherein the cover 30 is received in the receiving slot 28 of the first connecting portion 40 closest to the sidewall 26 (i.e., the first receiving slot 28) and extends a first distance into the storage compartment 22, and the cover 30 is shown in the second divider position in fig. 8, wherein the cover 30 is received in the receiving slot 28 of the first connecting portion 40 third closest to the sidewall 26 (i.e., the second receiving slot 28) and extends a second distance greater than the first distance into the storage compartment 22.

In some embodiments, the cover 30 is operable between a first divider position in which the cover 30 is received within the first receiving slot 28 and oriented at an angle such that one of the top side 54 and the bottom side 56 of the cover 30 faces a first vehicle downward direction, and a second divider position in which the cover 30 is received within the second receiving slot 28 and oriented at an angle such that one of the top side 54 and the bottom side 56 of the cover 30 faces a second vehicle downward direction. For example, in the embodiment shown in fig. 6-9, the cover 30 is operable between a first partition position, as shown in fig. 9, in which the cover 30 is received in the receiving slot 28 (i.e., the first receiving slot 28) farthest from the first connecting portion 40 of the sidewall 26 and oriented at an angle such that the top side 54 of the cover 30 faces a first vehicle downward direction having a vehicle rearward component, and a second partition position, as shown in fig. 7, in which the cover 30 is received in the receiving slot 28 (i.e., the second receiving slot 28) second closest to the first connecting portion 40 of the sidewall 26 and oriented therein at an angle such that the bottom side 56 of the cover 30 faces a second vehicle downward direction including a vehicle forward component.

In operation of the exemplary embodiment of the cargo separator assembly 10, a user may initially place the lid 30 in a closed position such that the storage compartment 22 in the cargo area 12 of the vehicle 14 is covered and the lid 30 forms a loading floor with the upper platform 18 of the cargo area floor 16 for storing items thereon. When it is desired to divide the storage compartment 22 and/or cargo area 12 into sub-sections, a user may remove the lid 30 from the closed position and reposition the lid 30 in at least one of the plurality of divider positions by sliding the lid 30 into at least one receiving slot 28 defined within the storage compartment 22.

The cargo separator assembly 10 described herein may provide a variety of advantages. First, in the closed position, the cover 30 may conveniently cover the storage compartment 22 and serve as part of the loading floor of the cargo area 12. Second, the cover 30, which is operable to partition the storage compartment 22 and/or the cargo area 12 in at least one partition position, may enable a user to customize storage space within the cargo area 12 without after-market components. Third, the at least one receiving slot 28 defined by the side walls 26 of the recessed portion 20 of the cargo area floor 16 may allow the lid 30 to remain in at least one divider position without the addition of after-market components.
