Abstract
A motor vehicle has an open luggage compartment behind the rearmost seat. The luggage compartment has two transversely spaced side panels which form part of walls surrounding the luggage compartment. A shelf in the form of a flat panel has a first pair of pins laterally projecting, in the opposite directions, from forward end portion of the shelf, and a second pair of pins laterally projecting, in the opposite directions, from rearward end portion of the shelf. A forward pair of means fixed relative to the side panels, respectively, have U-shaped members made of a resilient material for detachably and rotatably retaining the forward pair of pins, whereas a rearward pair of means fixed relative to the side panels, respectively, have U-shaped members made of a resilient material for detachably and rotatably retaining the rearward pair of pins, respectively, so that the shelf can be manually lifted to swing outwardly from the luggage compartment about the forward pair of pins or the rearward pair of pins as a pivot axis and that the shelf can be manually detached from the forward and rearward pair of means.
