ABSTRACT:
A removable security trunk for a motor vehicle such as a station wagon, van or sport-utility type vehicle having a relatively large rear access opening with a width less than the width between the sidewalls or trim panels of a rear cargo compartment in the vehicle. The security trunk includes opposed longitudinally extending support members which may be secured to the compartment sidewalls for supporting a generally horizontally extending top panel for sliding movement into and out of the vehicle rear access opening at the reduced width portion. One or more vertically extending fore and aft partitions extend between the top panel and the compartment support deck for providing multiple storage compartments and for supporting the top panel. The partitions may be disconnected from the top panel whereby three generally planar members may be easily stored in or out of the vehicle. An alternate embodiment comprises vertical sidewall support members and a floor member secured to a generally horizontal top panel whereby a somewhat box-like enclosure may be inserted in and removed from the vehicle cargo compartment while providing, in its working position, a security closure to prevent viewing or access to articles in the vehicle cargo compartment except through a liftgate, tailgate or rear doors.
