A load panel for the luggage area of a motor vehicle, in particular a passenger car, runs on three or more rollers and may be pulled out from the trunk at least partially, approximately parallel to the vehicle bottom. In order to increase crash safety while offering a high load-bearing capacity of the load panel, the proposal is put forward that the panel have at least one predefined folding line running transversely to the direction of vehicle motion and that at least one securing device be provided to prevent the retracted panel from moving forwardly relative to the bottom of the vehicle.

[ We claim:] [1.] A load panel for the luggage area of a motor vehicle comprising, a motor vehicle including a passenger cabin, a rear end, and a luggage area having a bottom, a substantially planar load panel disposed adjacent said bottom and being movable between a retracted position within said luggage area and an extended position wherein it extends from said luggage area, a plurality of rollers movably supporting said load panel for movement between said retracted position and said extended position, said load panel including an area extending transverse to the direction of movement of said load panel and defining a fold line lying in the plane of said panel about which said panel is adapted to fold, said load panel having a front end and a rear end, said fold line being spaced a substantial distance from each of said ends, securing means for preventing the front end of said load panel from moving forwardly and upwardly relative to said passenger cabin, and additional securing means for preventing the rear end of said load panel in retracted position from moving upwardly relative to the bottom of said luggage area or forwardly relative to the rear end of said vehicle, so that when force is applied to the rear end of said load panel, the panel folds about said fold line and the fold line moves upwardly out of the plane occupied by said panel in its retracted position.
