  • Patent number: 5820210
    Abstract: A storage device for attachment to chairs comprises a frame and a receptacle. The frame has a first part that is proximal to the chair when attached and a second part that is similar in shape to the first part and distal to the chair when attached. In a first embodiment, pegs extend from the inner face of the first part through the side edges of the receptacle and into sockets in the second part of the frame. The two parts of the frame are reversibly connected by conventional fasteners such as screws or bolts. In a second embodiment, detents extend from the inner face of the first part of the frame through the side edges of the receptacle. The detents are snapped into sockets placed in the second part of the frame, securely holding the two parts together. The detents allow the two parts of the frame to be pulled apart when desired, for example, to replace the receptacle. In both embodiments, a pocket is attached to the bottom of the receptacle and filled with advertising or marketing materials.
