Abstract: A device and method to restrain a container against a vehicle seat with minimal conspicuousness of the container and obstruction by the container. The device is comprised of a vehicle fastener, strap, recoiling wheel, cable, and container fastener. The method uses the combinative effect of spring, frictional, and gravitational forces to limit the horizontal, vertical, and diagonal movement of the container during normal vehicle operations such as accelerating, decelerating, and turning. The device and method involve placing a container on the vehicle floor near the front edge of a seat, connecting a hook to a headrest pole, attaching an optional stabilizer to the front edge of the seat, extending a cable from the recoiling wheel, connecting a hook to the container handles, and releasing the device and container. The method provides stable and safe retention of a container and allows for the container to be partially hidden from view.
Abstract: A toolbox has a central section and at least one side section. The side sections are pivotally attached to the central section using a pin and slot arrangement which allows an eccentric path to be followed as the side sections pivot around the central section. This allows freedom of design of the dimensions of a central tray in the central section without obstructing pivoting of the side sections. A latch may be provided which slightly opens the side sections when it is in its unlatched position allowing a user to see that the sides are not properly latched.
