Abstract

See full text

An adapter for an existing cup holder in a theater for easily mounting a closed captioned device having a mounting rod or gooseneck while still providing the patron with a cup holder, comprises a base having a top side and a bottom side and at least two holes therein, wherein the mounting rod of the closed captioned device is mounted into the corresponding hole in the base, a cylindrical cup holder having an integral adjustment screw extending from the bottom thereof, which is fed through a corresponding hole in the base; and a clamping mechanism which moves in relation to the movement of the adjustment screw for temporarily clamping the adapter to the existing cup holder. When the cup holder is turned in a first direction, the clamping mechanism fixedly mounts the adapter into the existing cup holder. The adaptor may be removed by turning the cup holder in the opposite direction. Instead of or in addition to providing another cup holder, the patron may be provided with a tray, table, electronics holder or other accessory by using an accessory adaptor. Further, the adapter may be mounted to an armrest by turning the accessory holder so that it clamps onto the armrest.
