Abstract
The car butler is an articles hanger for use in a car. The device is presented as a main member that attaches to headrest poles in a car seat at a second end and attaches to a clipping or hooking means at the first end. A supporting member attaches to the first end and supports the main member. The supporting member has a foot to contact the car seat. The apparatus can be folded into a flat arrangement for storage. The clip or hook holds a bag of take out or fast food so that the food does not slosh or spill when the driver makes turns or sudden stops.
