Thecavity 38 is sized and shaped for holding an advertising sheet, insert or slick 40 therein so that theadvertising slick 40 can be viewed by the passenger seated behind thepassenger seat 12 when theservice tray 10 is in the upright position. Theadvertising slick 40 is preferably a rectangular 8.5×11 sheet of paper but can comprise other material, sizes, and forms. Provided on theadvertising slick 40 is advertising orpromotional indicia 42. Thepromotional indicia 42 can advantageously include redeemable coupons. Theadvertising indicia 42 can be such as those located in magazines of commercial airlines. Theadvertising slick 40 can advantageously be targeted to the passengers by including goods or services located at the departure or arrival city or airport such as, for example, parking facilities, rental car companies, hotels, air port or city restaurants, or tourist locations - As best shown in FIG. 4A, at least a portion of the
rearward surface 16 preferably includes a transparent or translucent material forming awindow 42 so that theadvertising slick 40 located within thecavity 38 can be viewed through thetransparent window 42. Suitable materials for thetransparent window 42 are believed to be plexi-glass, Styrene, or like materials. Thetransparent window 42 can be co-molded with the remainder of theservice tray 10 or separately formed and secured to theservice tray 10. Preferably, thetransparent window 42 is sized and shaped so that an advertising area of about 8.5 inches by about 11 inches is viewable. - As best shown in FIG. 4B, the rearward surface can alternatively be provided with at least one opening or aperture forming an
open window 44 so that theadvertising slick 40 within the cavity can be viewed through theopen window 44. It should be noted that a transparent sheet could also be located within thecavity 38 to cover theopen window 44 in a manner such as the transparent window 42described above. - While the
cavity 38 is preferably formed in the original construction of theservice tray 10 as described hereinabove, thecavity 38 can alternatively be formed by an add-on device or member which is secured to an existing service tray. In this manner, existing service trays can be easily retrofitted to incorporate the present invention. As best shown in FIG. 4C, aframe member 46 is separately molded from theservice tray 10 and secured to therearward surface 16 of theservice tray 10. Thecavity 38 is formed between the rear surface of theservice tray 10 and theframe member 46. Theframe member 46 can be secured to therearward surface 16 of theservice tray 10 by any suitable manner such as, for example, adhesive or thermal welding. The illustratedframe member 46 is provided with atransparent window 42 but can alternatively be provided with anopen window 44. The frame member can be formed of any suitable material such as, for example, a rigid or flexible plastic. - As best shown in FIG. 4D, a
pocket member 48 is separately formed from theservice tray 10 and secured to therearward surface 16 of theservice tray 10. Thecavity 38 is formed between opposed walls of thepocket member 48. Thepocket member 48 can be secured to therearward surface 16 of theservice tray 10 by any suitable manner such as, for example, adhesive or thermal welding. The illustratedpocket member 48 is entirely formed of a transparent material but alternatively can be provided with atransparent window 42 of smaller size or anopen window 44. Thepocket member 48 can be formed of any suitable material such as, for example, a flexible or rigid plastic. - Preferably, at least one edge of the service tray is provided with a slit or
slot 50 that communicates thecavity 38 to the exterior space so that theadvertising slick 40 can be easily inserted and removed from thecavity 30. The illustratedservice tray 10 has aslot 50 located at the toplongitudinal edge 18, that is, theedge 18 which is located at the top when theservice tray 10 is in the upright position. With theslot 50 located in this position, thelatch 34 retains theadvertising slick 40 in thecavity 38 when theservice tray 10 is in the upright position so that theadvertising slick 40 can only be removed from thecavity 38 when thelatch 34 is unlocked. It is noted that theslot 50 can be alternatively located atother edges cavity 38 can be utilized such as, for example, separate latches, covers, doors, straps or the like. The illustratedservice tray 10 is provided with a pair ofnotches 52 along theslot 50 which are adapted to allow theadvertising slick 40 to be easily grasped for removal from thecavity 38. It is noted that while the illustrated embodiment of the present invention permits the passenger to remove theadvertising slick 40, theadvertising slick 40 can alternatively sealed within thecavity 38 or secured to theservice tray 10 such that it cannot be easily removed by the passenger. - The
advertising slick 40 is inserted into thecavity 38 of theservice tray 10 through theslot 50 by airline personnel prior to the passengers boarding (similar to airline magazines being placed in the seat pockets prior to take off) the airplane. When the passengers board the airplane and are seated, the passengers are able to see theadvertising indicia 42 of the advertising slicks through thewindow 42 which is directly in front of them on the back of thepassenger seat 12 in front of them. As best shown in FIG. 2, the passengers are able pivot thelatch 42 so that theservice tray 10 can be manually pivoted downward away from thepassenger seat 10 about the pivot axis. With theservice tray 10 in an intermediate position between the stowed and deployed positions, the passenger is able to remove theadvertising slick 40 and take it with them when they depart the aircraft so that they can refer to it at a later time or redeem coupons which may be located on theadvertising slick 40. Theservice tray 10 otherwise operates in a normal fashion so that it is selectively pivotable between the stowed position wherein it is out of the way of the passenger and theadvertising slick 40 is visible (Best shown in FIG. 3) and the deployed position wherein the service tray is generally horizontal with theadvertising slick 40 facing downward. - It can be appreciated from the above description that the present invention allows airline owners and/or operators to sell premium advertising spots within the aircraft.
Service trays 10 are typically in their upright position for about 90% of each flight. Theadvertising slick 40 is in full view of the potential customer for the entire duration of the time theservice tray 10 is in the upright position. The present invention allows the airline owners and/or operators to generate additional revenue by providing more premium advertising space yet does not require much funding or investment above what is currently spent on existingservice trays 10. Additionally, existingservice trays 10 can be easily retrofitted. The present invention also provides additional and improved advertising opportunities for marketers of goods and/or services to a targeted audience. - From the foregoing disclosure and detailed description of certain preferred embodiments, it will be apparent that various modifications, additions and other alternative embodiments are possible without departing from the true scope and spirit of the present invention. For example, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art, given the benefit of the present disclosure, that the
forward surface 18 can additionally or alternatively be provided with a transparent window to view the advertising slick when theservice tray 10 is in the deployed position. The embodiments discussed were chosen and described to provide the best illustration of the principles of the present invention and its practical application to thereby enable one of ordinary skill in the art to utilize the invention in various embodiments and with various modifications as are suited to the particular use contemplated. All such modifications and variations are within the scope of the present invention as determined by the appended claims when interpreted in accordance with the benefit to which they are fairly, legally, and equitably entitled.
