Abstract
A seating assembly is attached to the floor and includes a seat that is rotationally operable relative to a seatback. A retention device is attached to the seat. When the seat is pivoted upright to a stadium position, the retention device is selectively deployable from a stored position to a cargo storage position that defines an enclosure at least partially defined by the seat and the floor.
Claims20
A vehicle comprising:
- a floor;
- a seating assembly attached to the floor and including a seat that is rotationally operable relative to a seatback;
- and
- a retention device attached to the seat, wherein when the seat is pivoted upright to a stadium position the retention device is selectively deployable from a stored position to a cargo storage position that defines an enclosure at least partially defined by the seat and the floor, wherein the retention device is pivotably coupled to the seat at a first attachment point and a second attachment point, wherein the retention device comprises a bracket including a first side extending away from the first attachment point and a second side extending away from the second attachment point, wherein the bracket includes a third side extending between the first side and the second side, and further comprising a strap extending between the third side of the bracket and the seat when the bracket is in a cargo storage position and when the seat is in the stadium position.
