Abstract:
A vehicle seating assembly includes a seatback defining a cavity generally accessible via a slot disposed on a back panel of the seatback. A plurality of cover members extend over the cavity and operate between a flexed position and an unflexed position. The plurality of cover members are substantially flush with a planar portion of the back panel in the unflexed position. An elastic member is disposed on an inner-surface of the back panel proximate the plurality of cover members. The elastic member and the cover members define a pocket. The elastic member is configured to expand into the cavity, thereby expanding the pocket.
