Patent number: 10046709Abstract: A storage container for a vehicular seat includes a cushion pan for supporting a cushion. A lateral support bar extends between opposing side members and is positioned below the cushion pan. A container housing is disposed between the opposing side members and is fixedly attached to an underside of the cushion pan. A rear clamp of the container housing defines a containment region within which the lateral support bar is disposed. The rear clamp defines a surface engagement with the lateral support bar and is slidably engaged with the lateral support bar. Generally vertical displacement of the container housing relative to the lateral support bar biases the lateral support bar against the rear clamp to define an absorbing state of the rear clamp that receives at least a portion of the generally vertical displacement of the container housing relative to the lateral support bar.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2017Date of Patent: August 14, 2018Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: José Alfredo Peregrina Loera, Omar Antonio Ramirez Pavón, Francisco Ronquillo Meléndez, Mario Garcia Lannoy
