Abstract:

An article holder for stadium type chairs includes a support member which is positioned and held underneath the seat portion of a stadium type chair by a holding sock which slips over the seat portion. A shelf is slidably attached to the support member and slides between an extended position wherein a portion of the shelf extends beyond the front edge of the seat portion of the chair and a retracted position wherein the shelf is totally underneath the seat portion. During an event wherein the stadium type chair is occupied, if the occupant of the chair has purchased a beverage, hot dog or the like and wishes to place them somewhere without fear of their being spilled, kicked or staining the occupant's clothing and the like, the shelf is simply moved from the retracted to the extended position and the beverage, hot dog or other article is placed thereon without fear of spillage or the like. After termination of the event the article holder is simply slipped off of the chair for easy transport by the occupant out of the stadium.
