Definitions
- This invention relates to a row floor-locking device for a telescoping seating system having a plurality of row floors adapted to be extended or retracted like a nest of boxes.
- a telescoping seating system having a plurality of row floors adapted to be retracted and received below the next higher row floor when not in use like a nest of boxes, and extended forward and disposed in a stepped relation when in use, the seatings on each of the row floors being simultaneously stood up from their collapsed states to complete the seatings.
- Each of row floors is received below a highest (or rearmost) row floor “b” by winding a wire “c” whose forward end is fixed to a lowest (or foremost) row floor “b” provided with collapsible seating “a”, while whose rear end is wound around a drum “d”.
- a wire “e” is wound up.
- the forward end of the wire “e” is fixed to the lowest row floor “b” and the rear end of the wire “e” is wound around the drum “b” with the intermediate portion of the wire “e” being passed through between pairs of fixed pulleys "f” and "g” each provided at the rear portion of a row floor and at the forward portion of the bottom surface of the next higher row floor respectively.
- these row floors are extended in a stepped relation as shown in a dotted line in Fig. 8.
- Each of the row floors “b” is made movable on a floor “i” through wheels “h” on which each of the row floors "b” is supported.
- the third row floor "b" for example as a foremost seating row as shown in a solid line in Fig.8 depending on the kind of sports game or gathering to be held in a multi-purpose hall.
- a row floor-locking device so as to prevent the lowest row floor "b” and the next higher (or 2nd) row floor “b” from extending forward.
- the first object of this invention is to provide a row floor-locking device which is simple in structure and is capable of locking the row floors by making use of the rotating shaft of sprockets mounted in a row floor-linearly moving device of a telescoping seating system.
- a row floor-locking device for a telescoping seating system having a plurality of row floors capable of being extended forward and disposed in a stepped relation when in use, as well as of being retracted and received below the next higher row floor when not in use, and being provided whith a row floor-linearly moving device comprising a pair of driven sprockets each attached to left and right edge portions of the back side wall of the next lower row, and a pair of chains each forward end of which is fixed to left and right portions of the bottom surface of a row floor which is one step higher than said next lower row, each intermediate portion of which is wound around each of said driven sprockets, and each rear end of which is fixed to left and right portions of said bottom surface of the row floor thereby disposing said pair of chains generally in parallel with each other below said row floor; characterized in that said row floor-locking device comprises a gear wheel mounted in coaxial with the axes of said pair of sprocket
- the rack is forced by means of the driving means to engage with the gear wheel mounted in coaxial with the axes of the driven sprocket thereby to stop the gear wheel from rotating. Therefore, the row floor-linearly moving device comprising the driven sprocket and a length of chain engaged therewith is also stopped moving.
- each driven sprocket moves forward pulling the chain therearound.
- the pair of the driven sprockets disposed at the right and left sides of the row floor are simultaneously and linearly moved at the same speed one another while being guided by the next higher row floor.
- the numeral 1 generally designates a telescoping seating system comprising a plurality of row floors. As show in Fig. 1, the more forward a row floor is disposed, the width and height of a row floor are made smaller.
- the numeral 2 indicated the foremost row floor and the numerals 3 and 4 indicated respectively second and third row floors disposed rearward of the foremost row floor 2.
- row floors 2, 3 and 4 are received below a highest row floor (not shown) like a nest of boxes when not in use. However, when in use, they are capable of being extended forward to be set like a steps while being linked each other. These movements of the row floors are effected by means of a driving means (not shown).
- the mechanism for moving these row floors is the same as explained with reference to Fig. 8 so that explanations on this mechanism will be omitted.
- the foremost row floor 2 takes the form of a box having an open bottom, i.e. comprises a supporting top plate 2a, attached with a front wall plate 2b, a back wall plate 2c and a pair of side wall plates 2d, each extending downward from the sides of the top plate 2a.
- next higher row floor 3 is provided on the sides thereof with a front wall plate 3b, a back wall plate 3c and a pair of side wall plates 3e each extending downward
- row floor 4 is provided on the sides thereof with a front wall plate 4b, a back wall plate 4c and a pair of side wall plates 4d, each extending downward.
- each mounting plate 5 On the upper portion of each mounting plate 5 is attached a pair of shafts 6 and 7 extending inward and perpendicular to the mounting plate 5.
- a pair of guiding sprockets 8 and 9 are rotatably mounted on the shafts 6 and 7 respectively.
- a bearing is provided on each mounting plate 5 below an intermediate position between the guiding sprockets 8 and 9. Between the bearings mounted respectively on the pair of the mounting plates 5 is rotatably supported a horizontal connecting shaft 10.
- a driven sprocket 11 is attached to each left and right side portion of the connecting shaft 10 so as to be rotated together with the connecting shaft 10.
- the numeral 12 indicates a left side roller chain extending in a direction parallel to the moving direction of the row floors.
- the forward end portion 12a of the roller chain is fastened to a left lower portion of the back surface of the front wall plate 3b of the row floor 3.
- the intermediate portion 12b of the roller chain is wound around in the order of the guiding sprocket 8, the driven sprocket 11 and the guiding sprocket 9 so that the roller chain is formed into a shape of a reversed letter.
- the rear end portion of the roller chain is fastened to the front surface of the back wall plate 3c of the row floor 3.
- the right side roller chain is disposed in symmetry with the left side roller chain, so that the forward end portion 13a, the intermediate portion 13b and the rear end portion of the right side roller chain are mounted respectively in the same manner as those of the left side roller chain.
- a set of the guiding sprockets 8 and 9, and the driven sprocket 11 as mentioned above are also mounted on each of the mounting plates 15 attached to the next higher row floor 3, and a pair of roller chains 12 and 13 are stretched in parallel with each other at both sides of the row floor 13 and wound around these sprockets 8, 9 and 11.
- the numeral 5 is a gear wheel for braking, which is fitted on approximately the middle portion of the connecting shaft 10, constituting itself as one element of the row floor-locking means 14. This gear wheel 15 is fastened to the connecting shaft 10 by means of key 16 and a pair of setscrews 17.
- the numeral 18 indicates an L-shaped mounting plate attached to the back wall plate 2c of the row floor 2. On this mounting plate 18 is mounted a U-shaped frame 19 the back side of which opens.
- the frame 19 is mounted to the mounting plate 18 by means of nuts 21b and bolts 21a, each of which is pierced through the left and right side wall plates 19a of the frame 19 and each of a pair of spacing members 20.
- the numeral 24 indicates a rack constituting the other element of the locking means 14.
- the lower end portion of the rack 24 is rotatably mounted on the frame 19 via a shaft 25 pierced through the lower end portion of the rack 24.
- the intermediate portion of the rack 24 is connected to the near end portion of the reciprocating rod 22b of the solenoid 22.
- a compression coil spring 27 forward end portion of which is idly fitted and inserted over a bolt 26 projecting backward from the inner surface of the bottom plate 19b.
- the gear tooth 24a of the rack 14 is always energized toward the front end portion of the gear wheel 15 by the elastic force of this compression coil spring 27.
- the gear wheel 15 is stopped from rotating by means of the rack 24 due to the energized force of the compression coil spring 27, and therefore the shaft 10 is also prevented from rotating. Accordingly, even if the row floor 2 is pushed forward by means of a moving means, it can not move forward beyond the row floor 3, i.e. the row floor 2 is forced to move forward or backward together with the row floor 3.
- the shaft 10 is set free to rotate, and can be rotated by moving means (not shown) to allow the row floor 2 to be extended forward.
- a pair of driven sprockets 11 mounted at the left and right sides of the row floor 2 and connected to the shaft 10 is simultaneously rotated, so that the row floor 2 can be linearly moved without swaying left and right while being guided by the row floor 3.
- Fig. 5 and 6 show another example of this invention.
- the numeral 28 indicates the foremost row floor.
- a pair of double sprockets 29a, 29b, 30a and 30b each disposed at the left and right sides of the back surface and composed of an upper driven sprocket and a lower driven sprocket.
- roller chain 32 On the left side of the back surface of the front wall plate of a row floor 31 next to the row floor 28 is mounted a roller chain 32 whose forward end portion 32a extends in the direction parallel with the moving direction of the row floors.
- the intermediate portion 32b of the roller chain 32 is wound around both the upper left sprocket 29a and the upper right sprocket 30a.
- the rear end portion of the roller chain 32 is fixed to the right side of the back surface of the row floor 31.
- roller chain 33 is disposed at the position slightly lower than the roller chain 32 and in symmetry with the roller chain 32.
- the forward end portion 33a is fastened and extended in the direction parallel to the moving direction of the row floors.
- the intermediate portion 33b of the roller chain 33 is wound around both the lower left sprocket 29b and the lower right sprocket 30b.
- the rear end portion of the roller chain 33 is fixed to the left side of the back surface of the row floor 31.
- the pair of roller chains 32 and 33 is wound around the double sprockets 29a, 29b, 30a and 30b, intercrossing each other.
- a pair of gear wheels for braking 34 which is adapted to be rotated en bloc with these double sprockets.
- the numeral 35 indicates locking means having almost the same structure as that of the first example. This locking means will be explained briefly.
- the rack 37 is energized by the compression coil spring 36 so as to always engage with the gear wheel 34, but can be disengaged from the gear wheel 34 as it is actuated by the solenoid 38.
- the row floor 28 can be extended out of the row floor 31.
- the double sprockets 29a, 29b 30a, 30b are stopped from rotating, and therefore, the row floor 28 is extended forward or retracted backward together with the row floor 31.
- Fig. 7 shows another modified example of locking means 14 shown in Fig. 3.
- the same parts as shown in aforementioned example will be indicated in the same numerals.
- the rack 39 is always energized by a torsion spring 40 idly fitted on the rod 5 so as to force the gear tooth 39a to engage with the gear wheel 15.
- a torsion spring 40 idly fitted on the rod 5 so as to force the gear tooth 39a to engage with the gear wheel 15.
- a forwardly facing step 39b On the front upper edge portion of the rack 39 is formed a forwardly facing step 39b.
- the numeral 41 is a locking member, the forward end portion of which is rotatably supported on a shaft 42 extending in a direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the row floor.
- the locking member 41 has a step-like engaging portion 41a at the lower surface of the rear end portion thereof. This engaging portion 41a is adapted to be detachably engaged with the step 39b of the rack 39.
- the locking member 41 is always energized by means of a torsion spring 43 idly fitted on the shaft 42 so as to rotate counter-clockwise.
- the intermediate portion between the forward end and the rear end of the locking member 41 is rotatably connected with a reciprocating rod 44a of the solenoid 44 so as to move the locking member 41 up and down.
- solenoid 44 is actuated so that the engaging portion 41a of the locking member 41 is usually raised up and the rack 39 is set free to rotate.
- the actuation of the solenoid 44 is released and the locking member 41 is lowered to render the engaging portion 41a to engage with the step 39b thereby locking the rack 39.
- the stop of the rotation of the driven sprocket shaft is effected by causing the gear wheel for braking mounted on the sprocket shaft to engage with the rack.
- it is also possible to stop the rotation of the driven sprocket shaft by mounting a disk on the shaft, positioning a locking member near the disk, and causing as desired the locking member to frictionally contact with the disk.
- the locking or releasing of the row floors is effected by making use of a row floor-linearly moving device comprising a combination of driven sprockets and chains mounted between row floors for linearly moving the row floors.
- a gear wheel is mounted on the shaft of driven sprocket, and the gear wheel is caused to engage with or disengage from a rack thereby effecting the locking or releasing of the row floor. Therefore, according to this invention, the locking device for a telescoping seating system can be made very simple in structure.
- the locking device of this invention can be utilized for locking the row floors when they are not in use, as well as for preventing the row floor from jolting when in use.
