ABSTRACT:
A combination cup holder and arm rest for use in a rowed seating arrangement. The combination cup holder and arm rest includes an elongated arm rest member which has attachment means so that the arm rest member can be fixedly attached to the existing arm rest of a chair or the existing arm rest of the chair can be removed and the elongated arm rest member can be fixedly attached to the standard of an existing arm rest. A neck member connects the elongated arm rest member to a cup holder portion and the neck member fits between the backs of two chairs thereby facing the cup holder portion of the combination cup holder and arm rest rearwardly to be used by the person seated behind the chair that the combination cup holder and arm rest is attached to so as not to encroach on the leg room or front chair width of the user of the chair to which the combination cup holder and arm rest is attached. The neck member also angles the cup holder portion downwardly relative to the elongated arm rest member so that the cup holder portion fits within the predetermined angle between the perpendicular formed by the floor relative to the top of the seat back and the incline of the back of the chair relative to the horizontal and the cup holder portion does not intrude into aisle space in front of or behind a chair. A method of installing the combination cup holder and arm rest is also disclosed.
