UNITED STATESjPAT ENT OFFICE.
EDWIN W. VAN FLEET, OF LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO i DONA'IO COZZOLINO, 0F LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA.
MOVING-PICTURE THE TER.
Specification of Letters Patent. t t July 27,
Application filed Apruv, 1917. Serial No. 160,418.
To all whom it may concern:
Be itrknown that I, EDWIN VVAN FLEET, a citizen of the United States, and
a resident of Los Angeles, in the county of Los Angeles and State of California, have invented a new and Improved Moving-Ploture Theater. of which the following is a eliminate the seats in proximity to thescreen, which are undesirable on account of distortion and disorder induced inthe optic nerve of the .patrons occupying such seats.
Another object of the invention is to provide a moving-picture theater in which the seating capacity is not diminished although seats in proximity to the screen are eliminated.
WVith the above and other objects in view, the nature of which will more fully appear as the description proceeds, the invention consists in the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts as herein fully described, illustrated and claimed.
In the accompanying drawings, formmg part of the application, similar characters 7 of reference indicate corresponding parts in both views. 7 Figure 1 is a longitudlnal sectlon through a moving-picture theater embodying my invention and Fig. 2 is a horizontal section on line 2-2,.
Fig. g g I teferrmg to the drawlngs, 3 and 3 are facing screens each adapted to receive images projected thereupon from a projecting machine 4 located on a platform 5 provided in the central part of the theater between the screens. The floor space between the screens is provided with rows of chairs 6 and 6, the rows of chairs (ifacing the screen 3, and the rows of chairs 6 facing the rows 3. But it will be noted that the rows of chairs 6, although facing the screen 3, are closer to the screen 3 and, therefore, remote from the screen 3'. The same is true in regard to therows of chairs 6. By this provision there are no chairs facing a screen in proximity to the screen.
The rows of chairs 6 and 6' are separated by a partition 7 extending transversely be tween the screens 3 and 3. The height of this partition 7 is such that the view of the screen 3 or 3' from the row of seats nearest to the partition is not obstructed by said partition. The platform 5 is also of such a height and width that the view of the screen is not obstructed from the last row.
If desired, seats may be provided on the platform 5. The seats on the platform 5 will be arranged in a manner such that those nearest to the screen will face the screen,
that is, ina manner different from the arrangement on thefloor space, for on the upper floorspace the row of seats nearest to the screen face the opposite screen. From the above description it will be seen that in my arrangement seatsin close proximity tothe receiving screen are eliminated, but
the capacity of the theater is not reduced. The space between the rows of seats 6 and 6 where the partition 7 is provided can also serve for the orchestra. In which case, the central part of the partition 7 may be removed anda platform or seats for the orchestra provided.
The entrances and exits 8 are preferably provided on each side of the partition in the side walls of the theater. End exits 9 can also be provided on each-side of the screen.
I claim: 1 1. In a moving picture theater, facingre ceiving screens, a series of rows of chairs facing each of the screens, a partition separating the series of rows facing the oppo- .sitescreens, the series of rows facing the the screen facing the other screen.
' EDWIN w. VAN FLEET.
