The present invention relates generally to a paper towel container and, more particularly, to a holder for the paper towel container.

In order to attach a container for paper towels to the back of a motor vehicle seat, an adhesive tape or a fastening belt is usually used. With the help of these attachment means, it is of course possible to attach the container for paper towels to the back of the motor vehicle seat. However, such a conventional method has the disadvantage that overall the attached container for the paper towels does not look good and, for example, the adhesive tape as an attachment means is difficult to remove from the back of the seat. It is also very complex to later use all other conventional and non-exhaustive means of attachment - for example, the belts mentioned above.

to be removed from the back of the vehicle seat. In addition, the attachment is always only temporary and means that, especially with fastening straps, the container for the paper towels is not held securely in place.

Accordingly, the aim of the invention is to attach the container for the paper towels simply and safely to a back part of a motor vehicle seat. This aim is achieved according to the invention by a holder for the container for the paper towels with the features of claim 1.

With the help of the holder according to the invention, a container for paper towels can be easily and quickly attached to the back of a motor vehicle seat and removed again. In addition, with the help of the holder according to the invention, the container for the paper towels remains in place in the arranged state.

The principle of the invention essentially consists in the fact that the container for the paper towels is accommodated in a holder which in turn has means for being attached to a seat.

The above objects, features, functions and advantages of the present invention are described in more detail below and explained with reference to the accompanying drawings. In these:

Fig. 1 is a partially exploded view of the holder according to the invention,

Fig. 2 is a schematic view of the holder according to the invention, into which a container for paper towels is inserted; and

Fig. 3 is a schematic view showing how the holder according to the invention is attached to the rear seat.

The following is an explanation of the invention and its further advantages based on the drawing according to the structure and, if applicable, also the mode of operation of the invention shown.

In all the figures of this application, a holder 1 designed according to the invention serves to attach a container for paper towels "A" to the back of a motor vehicle seat. The holder 1 has a rectangular, container-like structure and is on its front side, i.e. on

“ its longitudinal end with an opening 12. Through this opening 12, the container for the paper towels "A" is introduced into the hollow interior of the holder 1 as shown in Fig. 2. The holder 1 is further provided in one of its longitudinal sides with a hole 13, through which the paper towels contained in the container "A" can be pulled out. Furthermore, the holder 1 has on its other longitudinal side wall two first holding projections 14 and 15, two second holding projections 16 and 17, two third holding projections 18 and 19 and two fourth holding projections 20 and 21. The first and second retaining projections 14, 15, 16 and 17 are arranged near the edge of the upper portion of the long side, whereas the third and fourth retaining projections 18, 19, 20 and 21 are arranged near the opposite edge of the lower portion of the long side. All retaining projections 14,..., 21 each have an axial through-hole (not shown in the figures).

The holder 1 according to the invention further comprises two elastic fastening elements 22 and 23. The elastic fastening element 22 has two hook-shaped ends 221 and 222 and a fastening section 223. In the same way, the elastic fastening element 23 has two hook-shaped ends 231, 232 and a fastening section 233. The elastic fastening element 22 is fastened to the holder 1 in such a way that the hook-shaped end 221 is in the axial through hole of the third holding projection 18 or 19 and the hook-shaped end 222 is in the axial through hole of the fourth holding projection 20.

or 21 and is held there. In the same way, the elastic fastening element 23 is attached to the holder 1 in such a way that the hook-shaped end 231 is received and held in the axial through hole of the first holding projection 14 or 15 and the hook-shaped end 232 is received and held in the axial through hole of the second holding projection 16 or 17. The two elastic fastening elements 22 and 23 basically have the same design.

As shown in Fig. 3, the holder 1 according to the invention can be securely fastened to the back of a motor vehicle seat due to the elastic force of the two elastic fastening elements 22 and 23. In view of the fact that the back of the motor vehicle seat is soft, the fastening section 223 of the first elastic fastening element 22 and the fastening section 233 of the second elastic fastening element 23 are securely held in place on two opposite sides of the back. In addition, all the holding projections 14, ..., 21 rest on the side of the back to support the arrangement of the holder 1. It should be noted that all the holding projections 14, . . ., 21 are preferably formed integrally with the holder 1.

The embodiment of the invention described above is for the purpose of illustration and description only and is not to be interpreted as limiting. Accordingly, the present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit of the invention. It is limited only by the scope of the following appended claims.
