Abstract
A seat attachment capable of being mounting on the standard of a seat. The seat attachment comprises a container holder, a first flexible arm extending from the container holder and a second flexible arm extending from the container holder. A first mounting bracket is located at a first end of the first arm and a second mounting bracket is located at a first end of the second arm. The seat attachment is mounted on the seat through the use of a plurality of bolts, each of which is inserted through a hole in one of the mounting brackets, through a hole in the standard, and a into a corresponding hole in the seat. When the bolts are tightened, the first and second arms substantially conform to the shape of the seat on which they are mounted.

- removing the bolts used to attach the seat to the standard from a plurality of holes in the standard and a plurality of corresponding holes in the seat;
- positioning the container holder so that each of a plurality of mounting holes located in the mounting member aligns with one of the holes in the standard and a corresponding one of the holes in the seat;
