Theguide member 82 ensures a smooth transition of therear door 18 between the open and closed positions. It is generally contemplated that thesidewalls 80 of therear door 18 may be rigid or flexible. In the event that thesidewalls 80 of therear door 18 are rigid, thesidewalls 80 will be fixedly coupled with therear door 18 and move relative to therear panel 11 into theslots 84 defined in therear panel 11. More specifically, when therear door 18 is moved to the open position, thesidewalls 80 are drawn fromelongate slots 86 defined in therear panel 11 until stops disposed on one of therear panel 11 and thesidewalls 80 prohibit any further movement of therear door 18 relative to therear panel 11. When moved to the closed position, thesidewalls 80 slide back into theelongate slots 86 defined in therear panel 11 until theouter surface 20 of therear door 18 is flush with theouter surface 12 of therear panel 11. In the event that thesidewalls 80 are formed from a flexible material, it will be generally understood that thesidewalls 80 will flex or fold inward, such that thesidewalls 80 are not exposed when therear door 18 is in the closed position. It is also contemplated that thesidewalls 80 may be formed from an elastic material that stretches, such that no folding or bending of thesidewalls 80 is necessary. - As generally illustrated in
FIGS. 2-2B , therecess 16 extends from a lower portion of therear panel 11 to an upper portion of therear panel 11. However, therear door 18 only extends across a lower portion of therecess 16. It is generally contemplated that therear door 18 may extend across a full area of therecess 16, or only a bottom portion of therecess 16. As illustrated inFIG. 2 , access to aninterior area 90 of therear pocket 14 is available when therear door 18 is in both the open position and the closed position, the difference being that more access is granted to theinterior area 90 of therear pocket 14 when therear door 18 is in the open position. - With reference now to
FIGS. 3 and 4 , theside pocket 22 that is defined by therecess 24 on theinboard side 26 of the vehicle seatback 28 is also configured to be flush with theouter surface 12 of therear panel 11 when in the closed position. Although theouter surface 32 of theside pocket door 30 may rest flush against theouter surface 12 of therear panel 11 when in the closed position, theside pocket door 30 may include asmall tab 96 or access slot configured to accommodate the fingers of a passenger to move theside pocket door 30 from the closed position to the open position such that a passenger can access anaccess opening 97. Theside pocket door 30 is configured to rotate about one of the sides of theside pocket door 30. Accordingly, theside pocket door 30 may rotate about abottom side 98 of theside pocket door 30, such that atop side 100 of theside pocket door 30 pivots out away from therear panel 11. However, it is also contemplated that theside pocket door 30 may rotate about forward orrearward sides side pocket door 30, such that when theside pocket door 30 rotates about therearward side 104 of theside pocket door 30, theforward side 102 of theside pocket door 30 pivots away from therear panel 11. Conversely, if theside pocket door 30 rotates about theforward side 102 of theside pocket door 30, therearward side 104 of theside pocket door 30 pivots outward away from therear panel 11. It is also contemplated that theside pocket door 30 may simply flex outward via the flexible material. In this instance, there is no pivot per se. However, theside pocket door 30 flexes outward as a result of the flexible material in theflexible sidewalls 34. - With reference again to
FIGS. 3 and 4 , the illustratedside pocket door 30 includes aU-shaped securing ring 110 configured to couple theside pocket door 30 with therear panel 11. The securingring 110 generally defines a polymeric rigid rim that is operably coupled with theinboard side 26 of the vehicle seatback 28 via a snap-fit connection. The securingring 110 may include a plurality ofmechanical fasteners 112 configured for permanent or removable connection withfastener apertures 113 in therear panel 11. Alternatively, the securingring 110 may include a plurality of receiving apertures configured to receive fasteners extending from therear panel 11. The securingring 110 is operably coupled with the stretchable fabric of theflexible sidewalls 34. The stretchable fabric is disposed between theside pocket door 30 and the securingring 110, and allows theside pocket door 30 to move between open and closed positions relative to therear panel 11 and the securingring 110. The flexible fabric may be made of a variety of different fabrics that includes stretchable or flexible characteristics. It is generally contemplated that when theside pocket door 30 moves to the closed position, theside pocket door 30 will be maintained in the closed position by a friction fit, an interference fit, or the like that maintains theside pocket door 30 in the closed position. It will be understood that theU-shaped securing ring 110 will have an open side proximate the access opening 97 of theside pocket door 30. Depending on which side theside pocket door 30 rotates about, the opening in theU-shaped securing ring 110, and consequently the access opening 97, will change. It is generally contemplated that the stretchable fabric may extend only between theU-shaped securing ring 110 and theside pocket door 30, or may extend between theU-shaped securing ring 110 and theside pocket door 30 and line an inner surface of theside pocket door 30. Other constructions are also contemplated. - With reference now to
FIG. 5 , an alternative construction is illustrated that includes similar features to those described inFIG. 4 . AU-shaped securing ring 110 similar to that discussed above in relation toFIGS. 3 and 4 is provided, but engages a stretchable fabric net 120 with aframe 122. Thestretchable fabric net 120 does not include a hard plastic door as set forth inFIGS. 3 and 4 . In this instance, thestretchable fabric net 120 is disposed between the three sides of the securingring 110, but is open on one of the sides proximate theaccess opening 97. In the illustrated embodiment ofFIG. 5 , the open side is the top side of theside pocket door 30. Theframe 122 may be coupled with theU-shaped securing ring 110 in any of a variety of manners. - With reference now to
FIG. 6 , another alternative construction is illustrated that shows aside pocket door 130 that includesattachment tabs 132. In this instance, a stretchable fabric is not utilized. Rather, a generally rigid polymeric material that constructs theside pocket door 130 is used. Theside pocket door 130 directly engages with therear panel 11, and allows for movement between the open and closed positions. Theside pocket door 130 may be snapped on and off, hinge open, slide open, etc. - An additional
smaller side pocket 140 may be present on the side of thevehicle seating assembly 8. Thesmaller side pocket 140 may have features and functionality similar to those described in detail above. Thesmaller side pocket 140 may be configured to support a flashlight, an umbrella, or other similar shaped items. Thesmaller side pocket 140 may also include an outer surface flush with theouter surface 12 of therear panel 11. - It will be understood by one having ordinary skill in the art that construction of the described disclosure and other components is not limited to any specific material.
