(1) Field of the Invention.
The disclosure relates to seatback holder devices and more particularly pertains to a new seatback holder device for storing dashboard foot pads and other items. The present device includes a plurality of straps and pockets to hold dashboard foot pads and other items. There is also a stabilizing strap to wrap around the seatback.
(2) Description of Related Art including information disclosed under 37 CFR 1.97 and 1.98.
The prior art relates to seatback holder devices. Known devices are typically intended to serve as table tops and drink holders. These devices lack dashboard foot pads and pockets to hold them. Known devices also lack a stabilizing strap to wrap around the chair back.
An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a rear panel having a rear top side, a rear bottom side, a rear front side, a rear back side, a rear left side, and a rear right side. A plurality of rest pads is coupled to the rear panel. Each rest pad is selectively removable and configured to be placed within a vehicle for user comfort. A front panel is coupled to the rear panel. The front panel selectively covers the rear front side. A pair of headrest mount straps is coupled to the rear panel. Each headrest mount strap is coupled to the rear top side and configured to engage a pair of posts of a headrest of the vehicle. A stability strap is coupled to the rear panel. The stability strap extends from the rear left side to the rear right side and is configured to engage a seat back of the vehicle.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the disclosure in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the disclosure that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure.
The disclosure will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:
With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to
As best illustrated in
A plurality of rest pads 34 is coupled to the rear panel 12. The plurality of elastic straps 24 may secure the plurality of rest pads 34. Each rest pad 34 is selectively removable and configured to be placed within a vehicle for user comfort. The plurality of rest pads 34 may include a dashboard pad 36 and a back seat pad 38. The dashboard pad 36 may be stored within the medial horizontal strap 30 and there may be two back seat pads 38 stored in the pair of upper angled straps 28. The dashboard pad 36 may have a semicircular pad handle 40 and the back seat pad 38 may have a pair of pad straps 42 configured to engage a seat back 44 of the vehicle.
A front panel 46 is coupled to the rear panel 12. The front panel 46 selectively covers the rear front side 18. The front panel 46 has a front bottom side 48 pivotably coupled to the rear bottom side 16 and moves between a closed position parallel with the rear front side 18 (seen in
A pair of gusset straps 52 may be coupled to the rear panel 12 and the front panel 46. The pair of gusset straps 52 secures the front panel 46 in the open position. A latch 54 is coupled to the rear panel 12 and the front panel 46. The latch 54 selectively secures the front panel 46 in the closed position.
A pair of headrest mount straps 56 is coupled to the rear panel 12. Each headrest mount strap 56 is coupled to the rear top side 14 and configured to engage a pair of posts 58 of a headrest 60 of the vehicle. Each headrest mount strap 56 may be looped. A stability strap 62 is coupled to the rear panel 12. The stability strap 62 extends from the rear left side 22 to the rear right side 24 and is configured to engage the seat back 44 of the vehicle.
In an alternative embodiment 70 (shown in
In use, the pair of headrest mount straps 56 are engaged with the pair of posts 58 and the stability strap 62 is engaged with the seat back 44. The dashboard pad 36 is removed as desired and placed on the dashboard of the vehicle to serve as a more comfortable head or foot rest for the front passenger. The back seat pad 38 is used as desired in the back of the vehicle for the rear passengers. Other items may be stored and placed within the plurality of elastic straps 26 and on the front panel 46 in the open position.
With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.
Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
