[0002] US patent No.US DI, 011,261 S and China Patent No. CN308543218S, CN308543219S, CN308045659S.BACKGROUND OF THE I NVENTION

[0003] The present invention relates to the technical field of a car seat gap filler, and more specifically relates to the universal use car seat gap filler.

[0004] The car seat gap filler not only prevents items from falling into the gaps of the car seat between the consoles, but also has storage functions, and function expansion device.

[0005] A prior art, most of these devices have an integrated structure, includes the upper part of the structure which is divided into several zones for storing items, the lower structure as the seat gap-filling part, most car seat gap filler' designs have a shape of a cup holder in the main body to facilitate a placement of water cups for users, however, this structure makes the entire product very wide, even reaching about 75mm, which greatly occupies the seat space.

[0006] Most Car seat gap fillers' gap filling parts are fixed thickness or use compressible sponges to fill the gap, none of which can adapt to the irregular gaps of car seats, This makes the users face six awkward situations, 1) The prior art's filling parts are too thick to be installed; 2) or the filling parts are too thin or too soft to the seat gap, and the installation is not stable, causing the car seat gap filler to shake during vehicle driving; 3) the car seat gap fillers are too wide and takes up seat space; 4) after placing the water cup, most car seat gap fillers tilt forward due to weight gain; 5) small objects and pointed objects cannot be stored safely, may be bumped out, posing safety hazards during the driving; 6) most car seat gap fillers actually have all the items mixed together, difficult to find them.

[0007] Therefore, an actual need exists for adjustable thickness of car seat gap filler that allow the users to adjust to fit the gap of his / her car perfectly, to place their water bottles without occupying seat positions, to store small things safely, to know where the items are placed, no longer searching hard, and moreover, the users can enjoy more convenient features brought by functional expansion.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0011] A user adjustable gap filling device comprises a docking device for connecting the main body, and an airbag which is configured as plurality inflatable small airbags, and the filling material is the air, this is more optional user adjustable gap filling devices solution

[0012] A sharp or strip shaped items organizing device, configured to the right side of the main body, comprises clips at different angles with different type, and a trapezoidal container below, forming a room for storing sharp or strip shaped items.

[0013] A tiny or small item organizing device, comprises a layer board, a pivot, and a handle, installing the pivot to a shaft seat at the main body, the layer board can be rotated up and down, the handle will be placed against the left groove of a partition baffle while the layer board is placed horizontally, the chamber of the main body isdivided into two layers, the lower layer is a relatively independent enclosed space for storing tiny and small items.

[0014] A partition baffle is configured at the right of the layer board, dividing the right chamber of the main body to be three sections, for storing the most common used items.

[0015] A functional expansion device, configured onto the main body, comprising external device with more functions, realizing function expansion.BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
