Abstract
A seating system according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a plurality of seating risers configured to telescope relative to one another. Further, at least one of the plurality of seating risers is a powered seating riser configured to deploy and retract the plurality of seating risers. The powered seating riser includes a belt drive system. Additionally, the plurality of seating risers are adjustable between a lowered position and a raised position.
Claims18
A seating system, comprising:
- a plurality of seating risers configured to telescope relative to one another, wherein at least one of the plurality of seating risers is a powered seating riser configured to deploy and retract the plurality of seating risers, the powered seating riser including a belt drive system, and wherein each of the plurality of seating risers is adjustable between a lowered position and a raised position by a respective lift mechanism, wherein at least two of the lift mechanisms are different types of lift mechanisms.
A seating system, comprising:
- a plurality of seating risers configured to telescope relative to one another, wherein at least one of the plurality of seating risers is a powered seating riser configured to deploy and retract the plurality of seating risers, the powered seating riser including a belt drive system, and wherein the plurality of seating risers are adjustable between a lowered position and a raised position;
- at least one actuator configured to vertically move the plurality of seating risers between the lowered position and the raised position;
- a scissor lift having first and second arms pivotably connected to one another, the first and second arms connected to at least one of the plurality of seating risers;
- and
- wherein the scissor lift includes a projection supporting a cam, and wherein, when the seating system is in the lowered position, the cam engages a flap and rotates the flap to cover a gap between adjacent seating risers.
A seating system, comprising:
- a plurality of seating risers, wherein the plurality of seating risers are adjustable between a lowered position and a raised position, and wherein the plurality of seating risers are configured to telescope relative to one another between a deployed position and a retracted position;
- an actuator mounted to a scissor lift, the scissor lift configured to adjust a vertical position of at least one of the plurality of seating risers by sliding a roller in a direction parallel to the direction of deployment and retraction of the plurality of seating risers.
A seating system, comprising:
- a plurality of seating risers, wherein the plurality of seating risers are adjustable between a lowered position and a raised position, and wherein the plurality of seating risers are configured to telescope relative to one another between a deployed position and a retracted position;
- an actuator mounted to a scissor lift, the scissor lift configured to adjust a vertical position of at least one of the plurality of seating risers by sliding a roller in a direction parallel to the direction of deployment and retraction of the plurality of seating risers;
- wherein, when the seating system is in the lowered position, a gap between adjacent seating risers is covered by a flap;
- and
- wherein a cam mounted to a projection extending from the scissor lift rotates the flap to cover the gap.
