Device and method for restraining containers in a vehicle

A method for restraining a container in a vehicle through the use of the combinative effect of spring, frictional, and gravitational forces, the method comprising:

• positioning a device proximally to a vehicle seat and a container;
• orienting a vehicle fastener from the device towards a headrest pole, and a container fastener from the device towards a vehicle floor;
• connecting the vehicle fastener to the headrest pole;
• connecting the container to the container fastener;
• enabling formation of spring force against the container by pulling the container in a first direction with a recoiling wheel, the first direction working against a second direction from the weight of the container;
• enabling at least partial formation of frictional forces against the container by pulling the container against the front edge of the vehicle seat
• enabling at least partial formation of frictional forces against the container through a gravitational force that presses the container against the vehicle floor;
• aligning the container centrally to the front edge of the vehicle seat with the spring force and the frictional force;
• attaching a stabilizer to a front edge of the vehicle seat to limit horizontal, vertical and diagonal movement of the container and provide increased friction between the container and front edge of the vehicle seat;
• creating spring force against the container by pulling the container in a first direction with a recoiling wheel, the first direction working against a second direction from the weight of the container;
• creating friction against the container by pressing the container against the front edge of the vehicle seat;
• and aligning the container centrally to the front edge of the vehicle seat with the stabilizer.

A method for restraining a container in a vehicle through the use of the combinative effect of spring, frictional, and gravitational forces, the method comprising:

• placing a container with handles, loops, rings or other apertures on a vehicle floor in an upright position under its own weight and in close proximity to a front edge of a vehicle seat;
• connecting a vehicle fastener to a headrest pole, a headrest, other area of the upper section of a vehicle seat, or other portion of a vehicle above and to the rear of the front edge of the vehicle seat;
• attaching a stabilizer to the front edge of the vehicle seat;
• extending a cable from a recoiling wheel toward the container, generating spring force in a first direction, toward the recoiling wheel;
• connecting a container fastener to the container;
• and
• releasing the device and container to allow the cable to retract in the first direction, and the container to centrally align to and press against the front edge of the vehicle seat and stabilizer.
