TECHNICAL FIELD

This document relates to the technical field of (and is not limited to) (A) a holder assembly (preferably having a visually enhanced appearance), (B) any permutation and combination of a holder assembly, a liner (preferably having a visually enhanced appearance), a cover, (C) a method associated with a holder assembly (preferably having a visually enhanced appearance), (D) a method associated with any permutation and combination of a holder assembly, a liner (preferably having a visually enhanced appearance), and a cover, (E) a synergistic combination of a venue seat, a liner (preferably having a visually enhanced appearance), and a cover, and a method associated therewith, (F) a synergistic combination of a liner (preferably having a visually enhanced appearance) for utilization with a venue seat, and a cover for utilization with the venue seat, and/or (G) a method associated with the venue seat.

BACKGROUND

A holder assembly is a device configured to hold an item. The holder assembly may include, for instance, a tray (a serving tray, a cafeteria tray, a food-service tray, any other kind, and any equivalent thereof) configured to hold a food item (such as a drink item, a food item, etc., any other kind, and any equivalent thereof). The holder assembly may be made from (include) a material that is relatively durable (such as, a plastic material, etc.), and is reusable. The holder assembly is configured to be utilized many times before replacement becomes necessary.

A venue provides a place (location) for an event. The venue includes a venue seat for utilization by a participant (an observer) of the event (whether in-person at the venue or by way of a video recording and/or an electronic video transmission of the event).

It will be appreciated that there exists a need to mitigate (at least in part) at least one problem associated with the existing holder assemblies (also called the existing technology). After much study of the known systems and methods with experimentation, an understanding (at least in part) of the problem and its solution has been identified (at least in part) and is articulated (at least in part) as follows: A holder assembly is configured to be utilized many times before replacement is considered. It may be appreciated that users of the holder assembly may become bored with the holder assembly (over time) since the holder assembly is not replaced and is utilized many times (before replacement is considered as a result of wear). What may be needed is a way or an apparatus that is configured to change the visual appearance of the holder assembly (so that boredom experience by the user is reduced at least in part).

From time to time, it may be desirable to enhance (change or visually enhance) the appearance of a holder assembly, so that the users of the holder assembly may improve their enjoyment of (and/or appreciation for) the experience of using (and/or seeing) the holder assembly, and/or reduce (at least in part) the boredom associated with holder assembly.

More specifically, it may be desirable to selectively visually enhance (change) the appearance of a holder assembly in such a way that the overall visual enhancement of the holder assembly may be changed (from time to time, when needed).

For instance, it may be desirable to selectively provide an indication (indicia) on (or with) the holder assembly, in which then the holder assembly with the indication is provided to users in a commercial situation (such as, a cafeteria, a sporting event, a movie theater, a place of business, a residential setting, etc., any other kind, and any equivalent thereof). The selective provision of the indication (such as, the changing of the indication with a newer or different indication, etc.) may help enhance the user experience and/or enjoyment associated with the holder assembly.

Since the holder assembly is reusable, it may be desirable to selectively change or enhance the visual aspect of the holder assembly (from time to time, whenever appropriate). The holder assembly (such as, a tray, etc.) may provide an apparatus (or method) for conveying an indication (such as, information, indicia, advertising, etc.) to the user of the holder assembly. The indication (symbol, etc.) may provide and/or enhance the entertainment value of the holder assembly.

For the case where the holder assembly (especially if made from a hard plastic, or other material that is relatively durable) may be utilized many times before replacement becomes necessary, it may be advantageous to have the indication (information) carried by the holder assembly to be selectively changed (replaced) easily (from time to time).

In view of the foregoing, it may be desirable to provide an indication (indicia or symbol, any other kind, and any equivalent thereof) upon a holder (such as a tray, a food tray, etc.) that is then provided to users in a commercial situation (setting, such as a cinema, a movie theater, a live-event theater, a sporting event, a music event, a place of business, a residential setting, etc., any other kind, and any equivalent thereof). The indication (indicia or symbol) may provide improvement to the visual aspects of the holder (such as, the tray), and/or the user experience (appreciation) of the holder assembly. It is may be particularly desirable to change (replace) the indication (indicia or symbol) whenever appropriate (such as, relatively frequently, from time to time, etc.), so that the visual aspects of the holder assembly may be kept updated, as needed or when required, etc.

It may be desirable to provide the holder assembly to be utilized by a customer (a user) that provides a mechanism (or way) for conveying information or an indication (such as, indicia, advertising, etc.) to the customer. For the case where the holder assembly is made from hard plastic or other such materials (a relatively durable material that may be used many times before replacement becomes necessary), it may be advantageous if the indication (indicia or symbol) carried by holder assembly can be changed relatively easily (from time to time).

To mitigate, at least in part, at least one problem associated with the existing technology, there is provided (in accordance with a twenty third major aspect) an apparatus and/or a method for improving advertising revenue in association with a holder assembly (that is, for monetizing the holder assembly). The method of advertisement provides a notice or announcement in a public medium promoting a product, service, or event or publicizing a job vacancy, etc., and any other kind, and any equivalent thereof. The method (or apparatus) is for enhancing advertising revenue in association with the holder assembly, which is described below in detail

It will be appreciated that there exists a need to mitigate (at least in part) at least one problem associated with the existing venue seats (also called the existing technology). After much study of the known systems and methods with experimentation, an understanding (at least in part) of the problem and its solution has been identified (at least in part) and is articulated (at least in part) as follows: Known venue seats have an outward appearance that is viewable by an observer (a user). The outward appearance typically remains static or unchanging over time. For instance, from time to time, it may be desirable to change the outward appearance of a venue seat so that the observer may observe something new (fresh) about the venue seat. For instance, it may also be desirable to increase (enhance, improve) an outward appearance of the venue seat by placement of (placing) an image (also called an advertisement) on (with, or selectively positioned proximate to) the venue seat. For instance, the outward appearance of the venue seat may have (include) a monetary value, an advertising revenue, etc. The image placed on the venue seat includes, for instance, an advertising image (wordage, images, etc.), in which the placement of the image on venue seat may provide advertising income for the venue seat (that is, may provide a manner for monetizing the venue seat).

To mitigate, at least in part, at least one problem associated with the existing technology, there is provided (in accordance with a first major aspect) an apparatus. The apparatus includes and is not limited to a liner for utilization with a venue seat having an outward appearance that is viewable by an observer. The apparatus also includes and is not limited to a cover for utilization with the venue seat. The apparatus does not include the venue seat. The liner has a liner surface on which a liner image is formed (formed on the liner surface). The liner is positionable on the venue seat with the liner image facing outwardly. The liner image changes the outward appearance of the venue seat once the liner is positioned on the venue seat with the liner image facing outwardly. The cover is configured to be fixedly positioned on, and to cover, the liner image of the liner. The cover protects the liner image of the liner once the cover is positioned on the liner image. Placement of the liner image on the venue seat may improve the outward appearance of the venue seat, and/or may improve the outward appearance of the venue seat by increasing an advertising revenue of the venue seat (for monetizing the venue seat).

To mitigate, at least in part, at least one problem associated with the existing technology, there is provided (in accordance with a second major aspect) an apparatus. The apparatus includes and is not limited to a venue seat, a liner, and a cover. The venue seat has an outward appearance that is viewable by an observer. The liner has a liner surface on which a liner image is formed on the liner surface. The liner is positioned on the venue seat with the liner image facing outwardly. The liner image changes the outward appearance of the venue seat once the liner is positioned on the venue seat with the liner image facing outwardly. The cover is fixedly positioned on, and covers, the liner image of the liner. The cover protects the liner image of the liner once the cover is positioned on the liner image. Placement of the liner image on the venue seat may improve the outward appearance of the venue seat, and/or may improve the outward appearance of the venue seat by increasing an advertising revenue of the venue seat (for monetizing the venue seat).

To mitigate, at least in part, at least one problem associated with the existing technology, there is provided (in accordance with a third major aspect) a method. The method is for changing an outward appearance of a venue seat having an outward appearance that is viewable by an observer. The method includes and is not limited to positioning a liner (in which the liner has a liner surface, and a liner image is formed on the liner surface) on the venue seat with the liner image facing outwardly (in which the liner image changes the outward appearance of the venue seat once the liner is positioned on the venue seat with the liner image facing outwardly). The method further includes and is not limited to fixedly positioning a cover on, and covering, the liner image of the liner, in which the cover protects the liner image of the liner once the cover is positioned on the liner image. Placement of the liner image on the venue seat may improve the outward appearance of the venue seat, and/or may improve the outward appearance of the venue seat by increasing an advertising revenue of the venue seat (for monetizing the venue seat).
