Cup Holders at the Movies!

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009

Who does not like to go to a theater to watch the latest blockbuster in town? If you look at some of the biggest proponents of cultural exports of the US, which have endeared the country to millions around the world, it is undoubtedly Hollywood movies. It goes without saying that people from all parts of this global village of ours eagerly wait for the sci-fi action, superhero movies or the plain and simple romantic movies that are dished out at the movies to the delight of movie goers. This phenomenon is not typical only of the US. Around the world, regional and vernacular cinema of all genres is thriving like never before.

From India and China to Italy and the UK, people who are passionate about movies like nothing better than sinking into plush seats of a movie theater to spend a few happy hours engrossed in the latest box office offering. The entertainment industry around the world is booming and is worth billions of dollars in annual revenue (despite things like watch free movies online). There are indeed so many multiplexes and high quality movie theaters that have come up in many parts of the world which are attracting movie goers by the hordes.

One of the main attractions in a movie theater, apart from the movie, is to enjoy snacks and drinks. You will find adults and kids alike carrying glasses of cool drinks as well as huge tubs of popcorn and a host of other delectable treats that make the movie experience all so special. It is here that cup holders figure prominently in the scheme of things in movie theaters. These cup holders can be used to perch cups and bottles in absolute security so that you can enjoy the movie ensconced in the comfort of your plush movie chair.

There are many movie theaters that have pre-installed cup holders in chairs. Halls have cup holders in the arm rests or perhaps in the back of the seat in front. Some people also carry their own cup holders and attach it with simple Velcro fasteners on the seat in the theater.

If you find that your favorite movie theater does not have cup holders, do get in touch with the management and impress upon them to install these. They would mostly be happy to comply with your request in the best interests of customer comfort and delight.

How to take a movie theater armrest wherever you go.

Wednesday, July 8th, 2009

Movie theater armrests are convenient. They hold your cup in the most natural spot, the end of the armrest. Wouldn’t a cup holder like that be nice to take everywhere?

Janice is a director of a hot, primetime drama series. She hates cold coffee and often misplaces her cup, causing her assistant Justin to continually run for a fresh one. It’d save Justin a lot of headache, and make Janice a lot happier, if she could just keep her cup in a holder at the end of her armrest.

Dave is in his cubicle working away. His boss comes around the corner and startling him asks, “Are those notes ready for the meeting?” Dave turns to hand them over, as his boss is already late. It’s too quick though, as he’s just knocked over his coffee mug and spilled stale coffee all over his workplace. A holder on his chair for his coffee cup would have been a good way to avoid this type of accident.

Mary’s at a Vancouver Canucks game. There’s ten seconds left, and her team’s up by one goal. The Oilers have the puck and fire a shot as the buzzer ends the game. Luongo comes up with the save and GM Place erupts in cheers as the Canucks win. Mary jumps to her feet in excitement, unfortunately she’s just spilled her drink all over her date. So much for a good first impression. She could have used a convenient cup holder that got her drink out of her hands, and instead now her date needs a new shirt.

Say “hello” to the “Nearly” Universal OH. It’s like taking a movie theater armrest anywhere you go. The OH is a cup holder that works on wheelchair, scooter, airplane, stadium, and office chair armrests. Save $5 now by ordering at our website with the coupon code $5off.

Fool’s Quest for a Universal Cup Holder

Tuesday, July 7th, 2009

A family friend begged one of the founders of OH 4 Industries to create a viable wheelchair cup holder. Being in the stadium cup holder business, the founder quickly summed up in his head the cost of all the plastic injection molds that would be needed for the wide variety of wheelchairs and scooters. He decided to take it to his design team before giving up.

It started with gathering data, especially by crash testing the current options. One cup holder was made of cheap plastic and broke easily. Another model attached easily, but once a cup of coffee was placed in it the cup holder fell to the floor (along with the coffee). Most of the available products attached on the side of a wheelchair or scooter, which got caught on doorways. OH 4 Industries realized there was definitely a market, and people deserved a better product.

Throughout the testing, measurements were coming in for the armrests. All seemed to be within an inch difference in width, and another inch and a half in depth. Slowly the team was realizing this project wasn’t only doable, they might be able to cover most makes and models with one product.

This led to a final design and choice of materials. Attached to the armrest was the natural location, much like a movie theater armrest. The cup holder would be made of plastic, but of a flexible source, not the rigid plastic the current models were available in. Achieving a superior grip became the next issue, and everything from heavy duty rubber bands to a plastic zap strap mechanism was discussed. After some market research and consulting a few physical therapists, Velcro straps became the obvious answer, and a simply genius one. Lastly the height variance needed to be dealt with, and after discussing options with a local custom gasket vendor, sticky foam pads could be inserted underneath the cup holder at a relatively low cost.

Testing the prototype was so successful it was rumored to be a universal cup holder. It could be used on wheelchair, scooter, stadium, office chair, and even airline armrests. (The last option discovered after one team member took it on a trip.) The ”Nearly” Universal OH became a reality. Keeping an eye on costs, but also wanting to use recycled materials, a regrind tolerance of 15% was found to be suitable, and partially recycled packaging helped keep the product environmentally friendly.

Try it now with a 60 day 110% money back guarantee (on the first order, all subsequent offers will refund 100%). For a limited time only use coupon code $5off for, you guessed it, five dollars off.
