Abstract: A storage apparatus is provided that attaches to a vehicle seat backrest and that includes a frame and a pair of elongated panels pivotally secured to the frame in adjacent, vertically spaced-apart relationship, wherein each elongated panel is movable between an operative, generally horizontal, position and a stored, generally vertical position. The elongated panels may be in adjacent, face-to-face relationship when in respective stored positions. The elongated panels may be in adjacent, generally coplanar relationship when in respective stored positions.

Abstract: A storage apparatus is provided that attaches to a vehicle seat backrest and that can support one or more shelves when the backrest is in an upright position and that can support a table when the backrest is in a folded position. The storage apparatus includes a pair of elongated side members for supporting one or more panels that can serve as shelves or as a table, depending upon the position of the seat backrest.

Abstract: Storage apparatus are provided that attach to vehicle seat backrests and that have a compartment for storing items therein. Each storage apparatus includes opposite upper and lower walls, opposite side walls, and a rear wall that collectively define a compartment. A door is pivotally mounted to the storage apparatus and is movable between a closed position for covering an opening and an open position for allowing access to the storage apparatus via the opening. Each storage apparatus can be removably secured to the elongated support members in multiple vertically spaced-apart positions. Two or more storage apparatus may be removably secured to a vehicle seat backrest in adjacent, vertically spaced-apart relationship.

Abstract: A retractable garment hanger assembly for a motor vehicle is provided. The garment hanger assembly includes a hanger bar, preferably formed in a zigzag or saw tooth pattern that is adapted to receive garment hangers. Hanger bar is attached to a biasing mechanism via a first and second cord. Biasing mechanism includes a spiral spring and a rotatable disk that is coupled with the first and second cord. The biasing mechanism provides continuous upward force to the hanger bar continuously urging the hanger bar in contact with the vehicle body.

Abstract: A holder for a container (of beverage, for example) having a compartment, at least partly of light transmitting material to permit light to be transmitted to and from the compartment. The housing has a central axis that is vertical when the housing is upright, and a wall that encloses the axis and forms the outer side wall of the compartment.

Abstract: A mount for a baby mirror for viewing a baby in a baby seat placed on a back seat of a motor vehicle in a rearwardly facing position. The mount includes one of the fasteners for securing the headliner of the vehicle to a roof panel. The mirror has a housing formed with a slot in the top surface. The slot is of inverted T-shape. The slot is open at the rear of the housing to permit the head of the fastener to enter the wide portion of the slot and the shank to enter the narrow portion. The mirror housing is thus suspended from the fastener. In another embodiment, the housing has a U-shaped clip received in a groove in the housing. The legs of the clip straddle the shank of the fastener and the body of the clip is clamped between the head of the fastener and the headliner. The mirror may be detached by separating the housing from the clip and leaving the clip assembled with the fastener, or the entire housing and clip may be removed from the fastener.
