Apparatus for storing items within a vehicle compartment that can be operated single-handedly, are provided. A cover is pivotally attached to a vehicle compartment floor (or to a base secured to a vehicle compartment floor) and is movable between a closed position in overlying, face-to-face relation with the floor and an open position wherein the cover is disposed substantially transverse to the floor. A wall is pivotally attached to the cover front side and is movable between a stored position in face-to-face relation with the cover front side and an operative position disposed substantially transverse to the base and to the cover. A spring is configured to urge the wall to a predetermined position when the cover is moved from a closed position to an open position. An elastic strap is secured to the cover and is configured to secure articles placed between the elastic strap and the cover.

Collapsible storage apparatus for vehicle cargo compartments

Storage apparatus are provided that are configured to be attached to the interior roof of a vehicle. A panel is configured to be secured to a vehicle interior roof and includes an aperture formed therein that is configured to allow an interior light attached to the interior roof of a vehicle to extend therethrough. The cover is configured to be movable between a closed position in face-to-face adjacent relationship with the panel and an open position for providing access to the one or more storage compartments. The cover includes an aperture formed therein. When the cover is in a closed position, the vehicle interior roof light can illuminate the vehicle interior through the aperture and lens in the cover.
