A suspended theater system uses a seat moving machine comprising a passenger seat assembly disposed in between opposing seat supports which raise and lower the passenger seat assembly. One or more passenger seat beam rotators are operative to rotate the passenger seat assembly to change the pitch independently of the raising and lowering. In embodiments, rather that the seat rows being pivoted up with a rotating floor, a rotate function alters their mutual positions to one another while the lift function is taking place which brings the back seat rows up and over the front seat rows, allowing control over mutual row position during lift and in the show. Though no cables are involved, by combining the motions of lift and rotate and without any further equipment, an immersive theater system comprising the seat moving machine still employs seating that is suspended.

Apparatus includes a liner with a liner image. The liner is configured to be selectively positioned over a holder surface of a holder assembly. This is done in such a way that the liner, in use, positions the liner image in such a way that the liner image, in use, faces away from the holder assembly. A cover assembly is configured to selectively cover the liner image of the liner. The cover assembly is also configured to reveal the liner image formed on the liner once: (A) the liner, in use, is selectively positioned over the holder assembly, and (B) the cover assembly, in use, selectively covers the liner image formed on the liner. The liner, in use, visually enhances (changes) an appearance of the holder assembly once the liner is selectively positioned between the cover assembly and the holder assembly. The cover assembly is configured to protect, in use, the liner once the cover assembly, in use, is positioned proximate (adjacent) to the liner.

The present disclosure relates to a responsive umbrella with a hands-free mechanism that allows a user to operate and hold the responsive umbrella without requiring the use of their hands. In some aspects, the hands-free mechanism may comprise a wearable strap or harness. In some embodiments, a responsive umbrella may be adjustable for the angle of extension from the hands-free mechanism, which may allow a user to adapt the responsive umbrella for different ambient conditions.

The present invention provides a cup holder. The cup holder includes a cup holder body having a receiving part and a charging assembly. The charging assembly includes a wireless charging module. The wireless charging module is mounted on the cup holder body and configured to charge a smart electronic device. The cup holder can charge the smart electronic devices, thereby improving user experience.

A theater recliner assembly and method for mounting recliners to existing theater risers provides a recliner chair that mounts directly on pre-existing theater risers, without requiring construction of new risers, and without the need for significant modification to the existing stairs and seating rows. The mounting and reclining components of the assembly are configured to form voids, have low profiles, and miniaturized sizes, so as to fit on the riser. The recliner chair comprises a pair of L-shaped bases adapted to rest flush against the riser. The recliner chair further comprises a backrest, a low profile seat cushion, an extendable footrest, and a miniaturized lifting mechanism. The miniaturized lifting mechanism fits between the seat cushion and the riser, providing a series of connected links and fulcrums that facilitate tilting between the upright and reclined positions. The low profile of the seat cushion provides operational space for the miniaturized lifting mechanism.

A vehicle seat assembly includes a seat bottom, a seatback pivotally attached to the seat bottom, and a trim cover disposed over the seatback. The seatback includes a foam cushion positioned on a seatback frame, the foam cushion having at least one plastic component embedded therein. The seatback further includes a rigid support panel embedded in the foam cushion proximate the at least one plastic component. The rigid support panel is positioned to support the trim cover over a void formed in the foam cushion at the at least one plastic component. A method of manufacturing a seatback with a rigid support block is also provided.

A system and method for proximate network antennas disposed in cavities in a portion of a seat is disclosed that provides ways to bring antennas closer to the bodies of seat occupants to improve signal to noise ratio and, therefore, throughput and capacity, and to use the bodies of seat occupants to attenuate the signals to improve channel re-use.
