ABSTRACT:
A new platform apparatus for installation in the rear compartment of a vehicle. The inventive device includes a platform member. An outer periphery of the platform member defines a border extending therearound. The border defines an inner area and an outer area. The inner area is inside the border while the outer area is outside the border. A pair of first support legs are pivotally coupled to the lower surface of the platform member. A pair of second support legs are pivotally and slidably coupled to the lower surface of the platform member. Each of the second support legs is pivotally positionable along an arc extending around a second corner formed by a side and the rear of the platform member. Each of the second support legs is slidably positionable between a retracted position and an extended position, such that the second support legs are located in the inner area when in the retracted position and are located in the outer area when in the extended position.
