Abstract
In a method of using a vehicle seat-top storage device, the storage device is deployed upon a vehicle seat by coupling a releasable backrest coupling device to the upper end of the backrest and securing a seat-base coupling device to the seat base of the vehicle seat wherein the deployed vehicle seat-top storage device can be utilized to store items within an interior space of the device. The releasable backrest coupling device from the upper end of the backrest can be uncoupled and the vehicle seat-top storage device can be collapsed so the seat top of the vehicle seat is exposed for use.
Claims20
A method of using a vehicle seat-top storage device for storing items on a vehicle seat comprising:
- using a vehicle seat-top storage device configured to secure to a vehicle seat, the vehicle seat having a seat base and a backrest that extends upward from the seat base, the vehicle seat-top storage device comprising:
- a lower layer formed from a flexible material configured to overlay and conform to portions of the vehicle seat;
- an upper layer formed from a flexible sheet material coupled along side edges to the lower layer to define an interior space between the lower and upper layers;
- an opening that allows access to the interior space through the opening, the opening being provided with a closure device for selectively opening and closing the opening;
- a releasable backrest coupling device for coupling an upper end of the vehicle seat-top storage device to an upper end of the backrest;
- and
- a seat-base coupling device for coupling the vehicle seat-top storage device to the seat base of the vehicle seat;
- deploying the vehicle seat-top storage device upon the vehicle seat in a deployed configuration by coupling the backrest coupling device to the upper end of the backrest so that the upper end of the vehicle seat-top storage device is coupled to the vehicle seat, and securing the seat-base coupling device to the seat base of the vehicle seat so that the vehicle seat-top storage device is coupled to the seat base of the vehicle seat, the deployed vehicle seat-top storage device covering the vehicle seat top, and wherein the deployed vehicle seat-top storage device can be utilized when so coupled and deployed by inserting one or more items through the opening and into the interior space for storage;
- uncoupling the releasable backrest coupling device from the upper end of the backrest;
- and
- collapsing the vehicle seat-top storage device in a collapsed configuration so the seat top of the vehicle seat is exposed for use.

- and
- a seat-base coupling device for coupling the vehicle seat-top storage device to the seat base of the vehicle seat;
- deploying the vehicle seat-top storage device upon the vehicle seat in a deployed configuration by coupling the backrest coupling device to the upper end of the backrest so that the upper end of the vehicle seat-top storage device is coupled to the vehicle seat, and securing the seat-base coupling device to the seat base of the vehicle seat so that the vehicle seat-top storage device is coupled to the seat base of the vehicle seat, the deployed vehicle seat-top storage device covering a majority of the seat top of the seat base, and wherein the deployed vehicle seat-top storage device can be utilized when so coupled and deployed by inserting one or more items through the opening and into the interior space for storage;
- uncoupling the releasable backrest coupling device from the upper end of the backrest;
- and
- collapsing the vehicle seat-top storage device in a collapsed configuration so the seat top of the vehicle seat is fully exposed for use while the seat-base coupling device remains coupled to the seat base when the vehicle seat-top storage device is in the collapsed configuration.
