A seat moving machine comprises 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.

A portable chair assembly including first and second chairs and a movable support frame, each chair having a seat and a backrest. Each backrest is adapted (i) to be folded by a user onto its respective seat in a collapsed position and (ii) to be moved away from that seat into a deployed position. The support frame has at least two frame segments, each frame segment having an upper frame portion supporting one of the backrests at pivotable connections with the upper backrest portion of that backrest, and each frame segment being joined to the other frame segment by an upper joint member and a lower joint member. At least one angle member is provided per chair, a backrest end portion of each angle member being fixedly or removably secured to one of the first chair backrest and the second chair backrest, and a frame portion of each angle member restricting movement of the support frame away from the seats to establish a maximum deployment angle in the deployed position. A container, having an opening, is positioned between the first chair seat and the second chair seat. A blanket is placeable through the opening into the container to be stored therein in the collapsed position and deployable from the container in the deployed position.

A smart chair control system linked with a reservation is proposed. the system is configured to include: a reservation server (120); a chair control system server (130) configured to interwork with the reservation server (120) and receive ticket reservation information from the reservation server (120); a main controller (140) configured to communicate with the chair control system server (130); a sub-controller (150) configured to communicate with the main controller (140); and a chair control board (155) configured to control a chair of a grandstand by communicating with the sub-controller.

A modular seating kit for producing a modular seating apparatus, comprising one or more rectangular base platforms, at least one connecting bracket, one or more vertical supporting structures, one or more secondary vertical supporting structures, a plurality of fasteners, and one or more support legs, each base platform has a plurality of attachment points adapted to receive the support legs and fasteners, the vertical supporting structures and the secondary vertical supporting structures are adapted to be attached to one of the base platforms to function as backrests or armrests, and two or more of the base platforms are adapted to be linked together using the connecting brackets to provide the modular seating apparatus with expandable seating capacity.

A fixing device includes an encircle element having lateral sides and left and right flap portions located inwardly of the lateral sides and extending transversely and outwardly from the lateral sides to define left and right chambers which are accessible only from the same direction, each of the left and right lateral sides being formed with a through hole; a fixing element installed on the encircle element at one of the through holes; and a locking plate having a first end fastened movably to the encircle element via a fastener such that the locking plate is movable relative to the encircle element between a locked position, where a second end of the locking plate engages the fixing elements, thereby preventing access into the chambers, and an unlocked position, where the locking plate disengages the fixing elements, thereby permitting access into the chambers.

A seating arrangement system for securing the spacing of a predetermined arrangement of seating is provided. The seating arrangement system embodies a plurality of movable tiles forming a supporting surface for securing the predetermined arrangement of movable seats, wherein each tile associated with a vertical member of each seat is selectively pivoted to an opening configuration, exposing a base aperture into which the vertical member is secured. The remaining tiles being selectively maintained in the closed configuration, providing an even surface for traversing about the predetermined arrangement of movable seats.
