DISCLOSURE OF INVENTION

[0006] The present invention provides securing apparatus for hanging articles comprising looped attachments such as purses, backpacks, shopping bags, and the like, or items hung on conventional hangers from the top portion of a seat backrest such that the article so hung rests against the side of the seat backrest. In this manner, persons seated around the seat will not be encumbered by the presence of the article on the floor or in another seat. Similarly, persons seated next to the article so hung may readily access it for retrieving necessary items.

[0007] The present invention comprises generally a supporting base or frame member having means for attachment to the top portion of the seat backrest. Upon or within the base, is an internal or second frame member fixedly attached, hinged, or recessed to the base or first frame member. When the internal or second frame member is operationally positioned, it is sufficient to safely secure the hung article. The apparatus of the present invention is suitable for either addition to existing seat backrests or manufacture into seat backrests.

[0008] Other features, advantages, and objects of the present invention will become apparent with reference to the following detailed description and accompanying figures.
