  • Publication number: 20180361940
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for suspending objects from a part of a motor vehicle seat, such as a backrest, a headrest, or a headrest mounting of a vehicle seat, comprising a fastening element and a receiving socket for connecting the device to the motor vehicle seat part, and comprising a plug-in element that can be coupled to the receiving socket. At one end, a support arm for suspending the objects is connected to the rear end of the plug-in element by way of a rotary joint having an axis of rotation extending substantially parallel to the broad side of the backrest and/or the headrest, and horizontal, and at the other end, the support arm has an L-shaped hook. In the in-use position, the support arm is oriented such that the longitudinal axis thereof is oriented approximately vertically downwards, and such that the longitudinal axis of the plug-in element includes an angle (?) between approximately 60° and 120°.
