专利汇可以提供Modular stadium seating and method of installing same专利检索,专利查询,专利分析的服务。并且Aspects of modular stadium seating installation are disclosed featuring the use of pre-engineered parts assembled in buildingblock fashion at the stadium site. Installation specialists are utilized to gain maximum labor efficiency; the first specialist performing the first step of the method by utilizing an elongated template laid on the stepped base so as to conform thereto for reference to guide apertures through which the studs are explosively driven into the concrete stepped base of the stadium. Each stud is in turn utilized to form a pivot point for turning the template end over end to locate the next stud. A riser support is mounted on each stud by a second specialist and plumbed, the second fastener is located by the predrilled hole in the riser support and a mounting hole is drilled. A cross bar of the framework is installed by a third specialist with adjustable fastener means and leveled for mounting of the longitudinal support rails by a fourth specialist; said rails being bowed by slight bending of the sections and slight gaps formed at interconnections at each bracket to conform to the curvature of the stadium. Tread support of the seating is effected by similar steps with the juncture between the tread and the riser of the stepped base serving as a reference. Support brackets are equally spaced along the row for support of threeseat units therebetween; the last bracket in a row being spaced a multiple of L/3, where L equals the normal distance between brackets so that maximum seating spaces are provided. A cantilever support of L/6 or onehalf of a seat unit is provided at the end of each row.,下面是Modular stadium seating and method of installing same专利的具体信息内容。

2. The method of erecting stadium seating recited in claim 1 wherein said upright support is mounted on the riser of said stepped base.
3. The method of erecting stadium seating as claimed in claim 2 wherein said template is laid on its edge along the tread of said stepped base to vertically position each fastener on the riser.
4. The method of erecting stadium seating recited in claim 1 wherein said upright support is mounted on the tread of said stepped base.
5. The method of erecting stadium seating as claimed in claim 4 wherein said template is laid flat along said tread and steps are included of aligning the outer edge of said template with the juncture between said tread and said riser support to horizontally position each fastener on the tread and aligning the operative face of said upright support for engagement with said framework so as to be perpendicular to said juncture.
6. The method of erecting stadium seating recited in claim 1 wherein said template is bowed along its longitudinal axis to conform to the existing curvature of said base.
7. The method of erecting stadium seating as in claim 1 wherein said step of applying each fastener in turn is performed by explosively driving a fastener into a concrete base.
8. The method of erecting stadium seating as claimed in claim 1 wherein is furtheR provided the step of positioning said supports equidistant apart except for the last support in a row, utilizing said template for laying a distance for the last support equal to a multiple of L/3, where L equals the normal distance between said supports.
9. The method of erecting stadium seating as claimed in claim 1 wherein is further provided the step of partially tightening said fastener to temporarily hold said upright support in an upright position, positioning said support perpendicular to the tread of said stepped base, attaching a second fastener to said base by passing the same through a mounting aperture formed in said upright support and tightening both of said fasteners to rigidly hold said support in position.
10. The method of erecting stadium seating recited in claim 9 wherein the positioning of said upright support is performed by placing a level tool along a side of said support parallel to the axis thereof and moving said support and said level tool together until a register of vertical is received.
11. The method of erecting stadium seating as claimed in claim 9 wherein the application of the second fastener is provided by drilling a hole in said base as guided by the mounting aperture in said upright support, and securely setting said second fastener in said aperture.
12. The method of erecting stadium seating as claimed in claim 1 wherein the steps of mounting said framework and securing said seat units are performed by applying a power tool to fasteners from above the framework and limiting the torque of said power tool to a predetermined level for uniformity of installation.
13. The method of erecting stadium seating as claimed in claim 1 wherein the step of mounting said framework includes positioning a cross bar on top of each upright support substantially perpendicular thereto, horizontally leveling said cross bar, and securing said cross bar to said riser support to form T-shaped tower brackets of said seating framework.
14. The method of erecting stadium seating as claimed in claim 13 wherein is further provided the steps of mounting elongated rails in parallel so as to interconnect said tower brackets by positioning said rails on the cantilevered ends of said cross bars and fastening said rails in position to complete the seating framework.
15. The method of erecting stadium seating as claimed in claim 14 wherein said rails are mounted with a slight bow along the longitudinal axis thereof to conform to a corresponding curvature in said base, said cross bar being shifted horizontally on said upright support to insure proper conformance to the curvature.
16. The method of erecting stadium seating as claimed in claim 14 wherein said rail is applied in sections, each section substantially spanning the distance between adjacent brackets, the ends of said rails being positioned so as to form a cantilever with the last bracket in a row.
17. The method of erecting stadium seating as claimed in claim 1 wherein the steps of laying said template and applying said fasteners is performed by an individual prior to mounting said upright support by an individual, whereby installation specialists may be utilized for the separate steps.
18. The method of erecting stadium seating as claimed in claim 17 wherein the step of mounting said framework is completed by an individual prior to positioning said seat units in position by an individual, whereby installation specialists may be utilized for the separate steps.
19. A method of erecting supporting framework in situ for modular stadium seating in a row on a stepped base comprising the steps of providing a plurality of evenly spaced, predetermined support locations along said row, mounting upright supports of said framework with a single fastener in turn along said base at said evenly spaced locations, leaving said fastener sufficiently open to move said supports, positioning each support in turn perpendicular to the tread of said stepped base, applying a second fastener, tigHtening said fasteners to rigidly hold said support in position, positioning a cross bar on top of each riser support substantially perpendicular thereto, leveling said cross bar, securing said cross bar to said upright support to form T-shaped tower brackets of said seating framework, mounting elongated rails so as to interconnect said tower brackets by positioning said rails on the cantilevered ends of said cross supports, and fastening said rails in position to complete the seating framework.
