Abstract
Abstract A combined stadium seat and carrier for bottled beverages including two half shell sections hinged together, whereby the sections may be fastened in envelope defining configuration or, alternatively, in the unhinged condition, form a stadium seat. A beverage carrier is mounted between the shells which are provided with padding, the padding functioning, in the envelope defining position, as shock insulator for the beverage containers, and in the open position as a pair of cushions for covering adjacent seats or the back and cushion of a single seat.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
300 words
A combined stadium seat and carrier for liquor or the like, comprising first and second open half shells, each including a rectangular back wall portion, a rectangular tubular skirt having a first rectangular edge fixed to and co-extensive with the margins of each said back wall portion, the other edge of said skirt defining an open rectangular mouth portion, connection means hingedly joining one side of a mouth portion of one said shell with a complemental side of the mouth portion of the other said shell for folding movement about a linear attachment area to enable said shells to be folded from an open position to a closed position whereat the free edges of said skirts are in juxtaposition to define an enclosed envelope, complemental fastener means along said free edges of said mouth portions surrounding said attachment area, said fastener means being shiftable between joining and unjoining positions of said mouth portions, a flexible sheet disposed within said envelope, hinge connector means joining said sheet to said envelope for movement about a pivot axis parallel to one of said margins of one said back wall, said sheet being of a size substantially equal to the area of said back, said sheet being foldable about said pivot axis between a storage position whereat said sheet is enclosed within said envelope to a dispensing position whereat said sheet hangs perpendicular to said one back wall, bottle carrier means mounted on said sheet for holding a liquor bottle or the like, and a rectangular padding member of substantial thickness fixed to each said back wall portion, said padding members, in the envelope defining position of said device, providing shock insulators for a bottle held in said carrier means and, in the open position of said device, defining a pair of seat cushions.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

A combined stadium seat and carrier for liquor or the like, comprising first and second open half shells, each including a rectangular back wall portion, a rectangular tubular skirt having a first rectangular edge fixed to and co-extensive with the margins of each said back wall portion, the other edge of said skirt defining an open rectangular mouth portion, connection means hingedly joining one side of a mouth portion of one said shell with a complemental side of the mouth portion of the other said shell for folding movement about a linear attachment area to enable said shells to be folded from an open position to a closed position whereat the free edges of said skirts are in juxtaposition to define an enclosed envelope, complemental fastener means along said free edges of said mouth portions surrounding said attachment area, said fastener means being shiftable between joining and unjoining positions of said mouth portions, a flexible sheet disposed within said envelope, hinge connector means joining said sheet to said envelope for movement about a pivot axis parallel to one of said margins of one said back wall, said sheet being of a size substantially equal to the area of said back, said sheet being foldable about said pivot axis between a storage position whereat said sheet is enclosed within said envelope to a dispensing position whereat said sheet hangs perpendicular to said one back wall, bottle carrier means mounted on said sheet for holding a liquor bottle or the like, and a rectangular padding member of substantial thickness fixed to each said back wall portion, said padding members, in the envelope defining position of said device, providing shock insulators for a bottle held in said carrier means and, in the open position of said device, defining a pair of seat cushions.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
125 words
A device in accordance with claim 1 wherein said hinge connector means for said sheet includes a spaced pair of separable fasteners on said sheet, said envelope including first, second and third fastener receivers in co-planar alignment, said first fastener receiver being spaced from said second, and said second fastener receiver being spaced from said third a distance corresponding with the spacing of the separable fasteners on said sheet, whereby said separable fasteners of said sheet may be selectively attached either to said first and second fastener receivers, or to said second and third fastener receivers, the lines between said first and second complemental fasteners, and said second and third complemental fasteners being perpendicular to each other and parallel to adjacent sides of said envelope.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
40 words
A device in accordance with claim 2 wherein said bottle carrier means comprises a pouch portion including a bottom and an open mouth, the open mouth of said pouch facing toward the line between said separable fasteners of said sheet.
