STORAGE STRUCTURE ATTACHED TO CAR SEAT
A storage structure attached to a car seat comprises a fixing element fastening on a car seat and a frame received in the fixing element, wherein the frame is retractable with the fixing element. The fixing element is shaped like a hollow pipe. A supporting plate is arranged at an end of the fixing element. A fastener is arranged at the other end of the fixing element, wherein the fastener passes through the fixing element and secures to a headrest rack. The frame has a hook at an end thereof and a hanging portion at the other end thereof. After the fixing element is secured to a car seat, the supporting plate can be used to have a tissue box placed thereon and the frame can be extracted from the fixing element so as to have a disposable bag hanged thereon.
a) Field of the Disclosure
The invention relates to a storage structure attached to a car seat, and more particularly, to a storage structure attached to a car seat, so as to make full use of space to have a tissue box arranged here or have a disposable bag hanged here between a driver seat and a front passenger seat.
b) Brief Description of the Related Art
Typically, internal space in an automobile is so limited that space for accommodating objects for being taken is over the top of the automobile apart from between a driver seat and a front passenger seat. However, between two front seats is occupied by a storage box or a lift-up armrest and this results in inconvenience in application. Furthermore, air bags are arranged at the sides of seats in advanced cars such that the action of the air bags would be affected if additional objects are attached hereto. Front seats would be adjusted in forward, backward or inclined directions and thus additional objects attached hereto would be affected. Automobile seats are usually made of soft materials and thus additional objects tied hereto would shift easily when being accessed or touched. It would be impractical to make objects attach to the top of the automobile because of a sunroof or sponge arranged here, and it would be uncomfortable to make a tissue box, for example, attach hereto using a magnet. Accordingly, a storage structure attached to a car seat has been improved such that it is relatively easy to store or assess objects in a car.
SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSUREThe disclosure is directed to a storage structure attached to a car seat so as to make full use of space to have a tissue box arranged here or have a disposable bag hanged here between a driver seat and a front passenger seat. It is relatively easy to store or assess objects in a car.
The storage structure attached to a car seat comprises a fixing element fastening on a car seat and a frame received in the fixing element, wherein the frame is retractable with the fixing element. The fixing element is shaped like a hollow pipe. A supporting plate is arranged at an end of the fixing element. A fastener is arranged at the other end of the fixing element, wherein the fastener passes through the fixing element and secures to a headrest rack. The frame has a hook at an end thereof and a hanging portion at the other end thereof After the fixing element is secured to a car seat, the supporting plate can be used to have a tissue box placed thereon and the frame can be extracted from the fixing element so as to have a disposable bag hanged thereon. Accordingly, full use of space can be made between a driver seat and a front passenger seat. When it is not in use, the frame can be retracted into the fixing element and thus the storage structure is easy to be put away with clear appearance in a car.
In accordance with the invention, the supporting plate has a side with a shape of a wave and it is beneficial to a rope getting stuck and having a tissue box firmly tied.
The accompanying drawings are included to provide a further understanding of the invention, and are incorporated as a part of this specification. The drawings illustrate embodiments of the invention and, together with the description, serve to explain the principles of the invention.
The drawings disclose illustrative embodiments of the present disclosure. They do not set forth all embodiments. Other embodiments may be used in addition or instead. Details that may be apparent or unnecessary may be omitted to save space or for more effective illustration. Conversely, some embodiments may be practiced without all of the details that are disclosed. When the same numeral appears in different drawings, it refers to the same or like components or steps.
Aspects of the disclosure may be more fully understood from the following description when read together with the accompanying drawings, which are to be regarded as illustrative in nature, and not as limiting. The drawings are not necessarily to scale, emphasis instead being placed on the principles of the disclosure.
While certain embodiments are depicted in the drawings, one skilled in the art will appreciate that the embodiments depicted are illustrative and that variations of those shown, as well as other embodiments described herein, may be envisioned and practiced within the scope of the present disclosure.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTIONIllustrative embodiments are now described. Other embodiments may be used in addition or instead. Details that may be apparent or unnecessary may be omitted to save space or for a more effective presentation. Conversely, some embodiments may be practiced without all of the details that are disclosed.
The frame 2 has a hook 21 at an end thereof and a hanging portion 22 at the other end thereof The hanging portion 2 is bent with loops acting as stops 221 and 222 apart from each other.
After the fasteners 3 and 4 pass through two through holes 12 and 13 in the fixing element 1, the hooks 31 and 41 hook a headrest rack 51 of a car seat and then nuts 32 and 42 are screwed with the fasteners 3 and 4 such that the fixing element 1 can be secured to the car seat. A supporting plate 11 can be used to have a tissue box placed thereon and the frame 2 can be extracted from the fixing element 1 so as to have a disposable bag hanged thereon. Accordingly, full use of space can be made between a driver seat and a front passenger seat. When it is not in use, the frame 2 can be retracted into the fixing element 1 and thus the storage structure is easy to be put away with clear appearance in a car.
To sum up, the invention is directed to a storage structure attached to a car seat, wherein the storage structure is equipped with the frame having the hanging portion and with the fixing element attached to the car seat so as to make full use of space to have a tissue box arranged here or have a disposable bag hanged here between a driver seat and a front passenger seat.
Unless otherwise stated, all measurements, values, ratings, positions, magnitudes, sizes, and other specifications that are set forth in this specification, including in the claims that follow, are approximate, not exact. They are intended to have a reasonable range that is consistent with the functions to which they relate and with what is customary in the art to which they pertain. Furthermore, unless stated otherwise, the numerical ranges provided are intended to be inclusive of the stated lower and upper values. Moreover, unless stated otherwise, all material selections and numerical values are representative of preferred embodiments and other ranges and/or materials may be used.
The scope of protection is limited solely by the claims, and such scope is intended and should be interpreted to be as broad as is consistent with the ordinary meaning of the language that is used in the claims when interpreted in light of this specification and the prosecution history that follows, and to encompass all structural and functional equivalents thereof.
Claims
1. A storage structure attached to a car seat, comprising:
- a fixing element shaped like a hollow pipe;
- a supporting plate arranged at an end of the fixing element and adapted to have a tissue box placed thereon;
- a fastener passing through a hole at the other end of the fixing element and adapted to hook a headrest rack of a car seat so as to attach the fixing element to the car seat; and
- a frame received in the fixing element, wherein the frame is retractable with the fixing element, wherein the frame has a first hook at an end thereof and a hanging portion at the other end thereof,
- wherein the first hook hooks the fastener when the frame is extracted from the fixing element such that a disposal bag is adapted to be hanged on the hanging portion.
2. The storage structure of claim 1, wherein the fastener has a second hook at an end thereof, wherein the second hook is adapted to hook a headrest rack of the car seat.
