The present invention relates to a method for positioning audience members at locations for viewing an event occurring at an event portion at which a live actor makes a presentation and/or a display is shown. Additionally, the present invention relates to an arrangement having a first venue tray, the first venue tray having a close range event portion at which a live actor can make a presentation and/or a display can be shown and a home row seating section, a second venue tray, the second venue tray having a downrange seating section, a first periphery event portion at which a live actor can make a presentation and/or a display can be shown, and a second periphery event portion.

A deployable mobile stage system with an automatic leveling system. A remote controlling device interfaces with an internal controller of the mobile stage for transforming the stage from a transport position to a deployed position. Multiple level sensors provide feedback to the controller of the stage to automatically level the stage using jacks and outriggers hydraulically or mechanically controlled by the controller. The level sensors could be 3-axis sensors which provide level data to the CPU of the internal controller, which then forms determinations as to which jacks to raise or lower, when, and at what rate.

A portable stage includes a folding framework supporting a removable deck. The framework includes opposing folding end framework assemblies and opposed side framework assemblies. The framework folds from an extended position for use and a folded positon wherein the framework is compact for storage. The side framework assemblies each include corner columns connected by angled portions having a V configuration forming an open space below the deck. The decks connect with pin connectors that extend into through holes in the deck. The pin connectors having a threaded connector supporting a pin that provides for relative axial movement when the pin is rotated from above to adjust stage height. Removable guardrails include mounting brackets that attach to the pin connectors.

An adjustable height system that provides an automatic manner of height adjustment for a platform. The platform is supported by a frame including a scissor lift assembly which raises and lowers the platform to any desirable height. The height is adjusted by activating a portable drive device which is engaged with an adapter element that couples a gearbox to a threaded drive member that actuates the scissor lift assembly. Using the portable drive device in forward or reverse, the platform is respectively raised and lowered.

A theater area includes audience seating that faces outwardly in an inverted-theater-in-the-round arrangement towards a ring-shaped performance stage. The performance stage is designed to rotate around the audience area so that each section of the audience can see each part of the stage at different times.

A release mechanism for a transport carriage used to move an elongated beam or truss is constructed using a non-linear bearing mounted on the carriage and connected to the truss and including upper and lower bearing mounting surfaces having complementary arcuate surfaces and a layer of layers of lower friction bearing material between them. The upper and lower bearing mounting surfaces being arranged to allow one plate to move relative to the other in an arcuate path in the direction of the space of the beam or truss.

A funeral institution includes an entrance connected to an approach way of a vehicle, an exit connected to an exit path of the vehicle, a roadway of the vehicle, a vehicle mourner reception device, car stop lifts, and incense-burner stands. The roadway is placed along front-side wall surfaces of ceremonial halls and connects the entrance and the exit. The vehicle mourner reception device is placed on a right side in a direction of travel on the roadway so as to be closer to the entrance than to the ceremonial hall. The car stop lifts fix the vehicles in predetermined areas, respectively. The predetermined areas and are areas in which altars and screens can be seen in front of the ceremonial halls on the roadway. The incense-burner stands are placed on the right sides of the predetermined areas, respectively, in the direction of travel.

The invention relates to the field of satisfaction of vital human needs. A transformable platform, which is intended for creation of installations arranged both horizontally and vertically or slantwise, represents the unidirectionally oriented rod-shaped elements with a flat end face each, located close to each other in the form of cells, which form the flat horizontal platform in the initial position due to the flat end faces located at the same level. Each rod-shaped element is equipped with an individual drive to move linearly and lift the flat end face above the level of the surface of the transformable platform or lower the flat end face below this level.
