Abstract

A portable storage apparatus for use with motor vehicles comprises a support extending outwardly from an interior panel of a motor vehicle. The support includes an inner support member, an outer support member, and opposing side support members. The side support members extend outwardly with respect to the inner support member and support the outer support member in a spaced relation relative to the inner support member. A portable storage bin includes a storage container and a lid. The storage container includes an inner wall, an outer wall, opposing side walls, and a bottom. The walls cooperatively form a peripheral wall. The bottom is joined to the peripheral wall. The storage container is adapted to be inserted into the support. The lid is pivoted to the storage container so as to be displaceable between an opened position and a closed position.
