Abstract

See full text

A stowable floor panel system includes a horizontal railing coupled to a sidewall of a package delivery vehicle where the horizontal railing includes an upper and a lower track that are spaced apart from each other. The upper track defines an upper channel, and the lower track defines a lower channel. A hinge assembly couples a stowable floor panel to the horizontal railing. A hinge body has a plurality of relief features and an upper projection extending from a rail receiving body portion and a lower projection extending from the rail receiving body portion opposite the upper projection. When the hinge body is inserted in the railing and rotated 90 degrees the upper projection seats in the upper channel, and the lower projection seats in the lower channel. A hook assembly maintains the stowable floor panel in a stowed position and includes a cam block with a cam surface that is configured to direct the hook to a rest position with the hook-shaped portion disposed generally parallel to the sidewall of the package delivery vehicle.
