ABSTRACT:
An elongated plastic vehicular cargo tray (10) includes a corrugated floor (14), a pair of spaced and corrugated side walls (20, 22), and a pair of end walls (24, 26) forming a truncated box-like structure. A selectively moveable divider device (34) is securely received in the tray (10) to provide lateral support for cargo disposed therein. The divider device (34) includes a bent wire form frame member (52) having first and second tabs (46, 48) for seating within respective grooves (30, 32) formed in the side walls (20, 22) of the tray (10). The frame member (52) also includes first and second hook-like feet (40, 42) for anchoring the divider device (34) to the corrugations (16) in the tray floor (14). The frame member (52) compresses as it is inserted in the tray (10) thus continuously urging the first and second tabs (46, 48) into interlocking engagement with the respective grooves (30, 32) in the side walls (20, 22) to prevent disconnection of the divider device (34) from the tray (10) in the event of a vehicular collision.
