Abstract:

Ticketing systems and methods, as well as related computer product programs, provide efficient and user-friendly seat selection by incorporating realistic seating charts. An advantageous ticketing system may include data related to a physical layout of a venue. The ticketing system may generate a three-dimensional model of the venue, from which one or more seating charts may in turn be generated. A user may search the ticketing system for seats based on customized user search parameters, which may include searching across multiple performances. In response to the user search, the ticketing system may provide an interactive three-dimensional seating chart depicting a relatively accurate seat layout based on the venue data. The user may manipulate the seating chart to view the venue from various perspectives, and the user may select seats from the seating chart. Other embodiments of the ticketing system are also disclosed herein.

Abstract:

A paper roll-spindle ejection device can be operated manually by one hand and includes a mounting plate for securing the device relative to a paper dispenser or paper roll wall mounting. An actuator tab is hinged to the mounting plate and carries two fingers. These fingers are hinged on the tab and extend into the space between the spindle and the otherwise contiguous surface of the dispenser. By pressing the tab, the fingers compress the spindle and urge the spindle and empty core of the paper roll out of the dispenser.
