ABSTRACT:
A package restraint (10) is for use in automotive vehicles. The restraint is placed in a seat (S) normally occupied by an individual and is held in place by the seat belt (B) worn by an occupant. The restraint has a rear piece (12) which fits against the upright portion of a passenger seat and which is held in place by the seat belt. A bottom section (16) of the restraint provides a seat for the package (P) or article to rest upon. The length of this bottom section may be adjustable to accommodate different size packages. A front section (18) of the restraint is also an upright piece. The front and rear pieces have openings (24a-24d) for a belt (22) to fit through the pieces and about the package to secure the restraint and package together. The restraint is made of a lightweight, fabric covered material for ease of use and to protect the package and seat in which the restraint is used. The belt is of a non-slip material so as not to fall off the package once secured thereto. The restraint protects the package and its contents from damage which might otherwise result from the rapid acceleration, sharp turns, or abrupt stoppages which may occur when the vehicle is moving.
