Description

The present invention relates to a seat system having at least one seat, wherein the seat relative to a floor member in an operating position, in which the seat is disposed above the floor member to allow a person to sit, and in a recessed position below the floor element can be arranged. The present invention also relates to a hall, in particular event hall with such a seating system.

A seating system of the type mentioned is, for example, the EP-B 1 301 108 or EP-B 2 345 780 refer to. In these known embodiments, the floor of a hall to be equipped with such a seat system is formed by a plurality of vertically movable platforms, each of which constitutes a floor element. Relative to such a platform which can be raised and lowered, at least one seat is in each case movable via elaborate lever or joint mechanisms or a pantograph system similar to a scissors-type articulated mechanism to move the at least one seat of the seat system into an operating position in which the seat is arranged above the floor element in order to allow a person to sit, and to move into a recessed position located below the platform so as to provide a floor of, for example, a function room free of seats.

Taking into account the fact that the below the platform respectively to be sunk seats on a provided at the bottom of the platform or hinged elaborate hinge mechanism must be adjusted in these known embodiments, is for a displacement of a seat of the known seat system between below the floor element or The position of the platform, as well as an operating position, require a displacement between adjacent platforms over a very large vertical stroke to permit pivoting of the seat below the platform to an operating position above the platform. With the provision of a plurality of successively arranged rows of such seating systems, a complex control of the lifting movements of the individual platforms is thus required in order to allow such an adjustment of the seats relative to the associated platforms.

Based on this known prior art, the present invention aims to provide a seating system of the type mentioned above, in which the above-mentioned disadvantages in terms of a complex control of an articulation of the seats of the seating system as well as excessive lifting movements of floor elements avoided and in particular with a simple and reliable construction, to allow an arrangement of at least one seat of the seating system in an operative position and a lowered position below the floor element. In particular, it is intended to provide a structurally simple solution for the particularly automated movement of a seat relative to a floor surface. In addition, it is particularly intended that when using successively arranged seating systems to form rows of such seating systems a mutual influence on the movement of individual seating systems is reliably prevented.

To solve these objects, a seating system of the type mentioned is essentially characterized in that the at least one seat is mounted on a frame-like bearing structure and between the operating position and the retracted position is movable relative to the bearing structure, wherein the bottom element in a vertical extent of Bearing structure at the top of the bearing structure arranged cover member and is at least partially movable relative to the bearing structure or pivotable. Characterized in that, according to the invention, the at least one seat is mounted on a frame-like bearing structure and relative to the bearing structure between the operating position and the sunk under the bottom element position is movable, can be found with a structurally simple linkage mechanism for moving the at least one seat of the seating system Auslangen , In particular, this ensures that for a movement of the at least one seat relative to the bottom element, a movement of optionally adjacent seating systems, as was required in the aforementioned prior art, is not necessary. Taking into account the simple design of the seat system according to the invention to be achieved, it is further provided that the bottom element forms a covering element covering the bearing structures of the upper side and is at least partially movable or pivotable relative to the bearing structure.

According to a preferred embodiment, it is proposed for the seat system according to the invention that a plurality of seats arranged next to one another and coupled to one another are arranged so as to be movable relative to the bearing construction with the formation of a seat row. Thus, a correspondingly larger number of seats can be stored on a common bearing structure and by a corresponding drive mechanism between an operating position and one under the Move floor element retracted or arranged position. Overall, a substantially modular system can be made available with which a large number of seats can be equipped in a simple manner.

For a structurally particularly simple embodiment, it is proposed according to a preferred embodiment that the at least one seat is movable in a substantially vertical direction relative to the bearing structure between the operating position and the retracted position. With such a substantially vertical movement of the seat in the movement between the operating position and the retracted position can thus be found with simple articulation or movement mechanisms Auslangen and it can be particularly particularly easy to ensure that when providing arranged successively seating systems a movement of seats of the same without mutual influence is possible.

According to a modified embodiment, the invention proposes that the seat is pivotable relative to the bearing structure in a substantially horizontal position in the retracted position. Such a substantially horizontal arrangement of the at least one seat in the retracted position relative to the bearing structure can be made possible in a simple manner, in particular taking into account a spacing required between successive rows. Moreover, such a substantially horizontal arrangement of the seat in the retracted position allows the frame-like bearing structure to have a correspondingly low height.

For a particularly simple and reliable movement of the at least one seat is proposed according to a preferred embodiment, that for movement of the seat relative to the bearing structure, a lifting mechanism, such as a spindle drive, a hydraulic lifting mechanism or the like. Is provided. Such drives can be formed according to robust and reliable even when providing multiple seats to form a seat system according to the invention and can be adapted in a simple manner in particular to spatial requirements.

For a substantially complete automation of the movement process of the seats of the seat system according to the invention between an operating position and a recessed position under the bottom element is proposed according to a further preferred embodiment that the bottom element via a lifting mechanism, for example at least one hydraulic cylinder piston unit, a spindle drive or the like. Relative to the bearing structure in a the top of the bearing construction at least partially releasing position for movement of the at least one seat is pivotable or displaceable. In this way, in turn, with adequate simple drives the Auslangen be found and it can be in a simple and reliable way to provide coordination of the individual drives both to the movement of the floor element and the at least one seat available.

In this context, it is provided according to a further preferred embodiment, that the bottom element is formed divided and at least partially relative to the bearing structure for at least partial opening of the top of the bearing structure is movable. By such only partial movement of the floor element can be found with correspondingly smaller drives Auslangen, the positioning of the pitch of the floor element is selected taking into account the movement of the at least one seat between the operating position and the recessed position below the floor element.

In this context, according to a further preferred embodiment, it is proposed that a slot-shaped passage opening is formed between the subregions forming the bottom element, through which a substantially plate-like support structure of the at least one seat passes in the operating position thereof. In this way, not only can a secure and reliable supporting structure, which in particular requires a small space requirement, be made available for the seat or the plurality of seats, but the slot-shaped passage opening between the partial areas of the floor element can also be provided with correspondingly small dimensions, so that In particular, no impairment of the bottom surface of a hall formed by the floor elements is to be feared in the case of seats sunk under the floor elements.

As already indicated above, it is possible with the seat system according to the invention, for example when providing a plurality of juxtaposed seats to provide a substantially modular seating system, which can be adapted to a wide variety of needs. When equipping a hall, such as event hall, it is known, for example, arranged in particular successively arranged rows of seats in the vertical direction staggered to each other, for example, to allow a better view of a stage. In this context, it is proposed according to a further preferred embodiment of the seat system according to the invention that the bearing structure over a Lifting device is designed to be adjustable relative to a subfloor in height direction. In such an arrangement, when the seat system according to the invention is arranged, an essentially step-like construction of the floor elements results, in each case in the operating position, in order to arrange seats or rows of seats arranged one behind the other in a different height position relative to a stage.

Thus, it remains possible with unchanged substantially the same structure of a seat system according to the invention with a frame-like bearing construction to provide a simple and reliable offset in the vertical direction arrangement of successive rows of seats available.

In particular, in such a step-like construction of a floor surface by a plurality of such seating systems according to the invention is also proposed that the frame-like bearing structure is at least partially provided on their side surfaces with particular plate-shaped cladding elements, as corresponds to a further preferred embodiment of the seat system according to the invention. By such particular plate-shaped cladding elements thus in particular a free space or distance between arranged in different height position one behind the other seat systems is avoided.

As has already been mentioned several times, the seating system according to the invention can be used for equipping a hall, in particular an event hall, wherein according to the invention it is proposed to arrange a plurality of seating systems according to the present invention or a particularly preferred embodiment thereof side by side and / or one behind the other. According to the requirements can thus be equipped by the substantially modular structure of the seating system according to the invention, a hall with an optionally large number of seats and / or rows in a simple manner.

In this case, it is proposed according to a further preferred embodiment that the floor elements of successively arranged seating systems form a step-like structure of the hall floor. Such a step-like structure can in this case be effected by arranging a plurality of essentially identically designed seat systems according to the invention on a subfloor having such a stepped construction, the step-like structure being predetermined by the corresponding construction of the subfloor.

Alternatively, as has already been stated above, by means of a preferred additional lifting possibility of the individual seating systems, such a step-like positioning relative to each other of seating systems arranged in rows can be provided. Such a lifting possibility of the seat systems according to the invention by providing a lifting mechanism for the individual frame-like bearing structures also allows, in particular in an arrangement of the seats in the sunk under the floor element position or position to provide a substantially flat and horizontal hall floor.
