Device for securing object on motor vehicle seat having securements formed by articulated elements

A device for detachably securing an object on a motor vehicle seat, comprising:

• (a) a transverse support member mountable adjacent to and along a gap between a seating surface and backrest of a seat of a motor vehicle;
• and
• (b) a pair of securements spaced apart and mounted to said support member-so as to extend into the gap and being adapted for securing an object on the seating surface, each of said securements including a set of elements, each set of elements including a pair of opposite shanks, means for movably mounting said shanks to said support member, a middle web extending between said opposite shanks and a pair of articulations movably connecting said shanks with said middle web such that said opposite shanks extend generally parallel to one another and said middle web extends generally perpendicular to said shanks when said securement is in a position of use and further such that said shanks and said middle web of each set lie in a common plane and are swivellable in said plane relative to said support member between said position of use in which said set of elements of each securement is extended away from said support member and the gap and a position of rest in which said set of elements of each securement is retracted toward said support member and into the gap, said respective shanks and middle webs of said sets of elements of said securements in said positions of use forming respective U-shaped configurations such that one of said securements is substantially the same as and a mirror image of the other of said securements.
