The first stepping surface and the plurality of first side surfaces define a first partial enclosure in which an object may be stored. At least one of the first stepping surface and the plurality of first side surfaces has a male connector portion. The second stage prop has a second stepping surface and a plurality of second side surfaces extending from the second stepping surface. The second stepping surface and the plurality of second side surfaces define a second partial enclosure in which an object may be stored. At least one of the second stepping surface and the plurality of second side surfaces has a female connector portion.

Abstract: A riser cart including a cart support frame, a first swing arm post assembly and a second swing arm post assembly. The cart support frame has a plurality of wheels rotatably attached thereto. The first swing arm post assembly is mounted to the cart support frame. The first swing arm post assembly includes a first swing arm post and a first plurality of swing arms. The first swing arms are rotatable between a storage position and a loading position. The second swing arm post assembly is mounted to the cart support frame. The second swing arm post assembly includes a second swing arm post and a second plurality of swing arms. The second swing arms are rotatable between a storage position and a loading position.

Abstract: A make up station provides even illumination for a performer's face while minimizing glare and distracting reflections. The make up station is modular to allow the easy assembly of multiple make up stations partially sharing common lighting between adjacent stations. Light rays emanating from the forward most edge of a light source are blocked by a raised trim or reflected from the mirror surface in a direction so that they do not impinge on the user's eye.

Abstract: An interface for connecting supporting members of an audience seating system including an end plate secured to the first end of a horizontal member. The end plate includes a downwardly extending tongue and outwardly extending tabs and a hook member extending outwardly and downwardly. The upper end of the vertical member has a recess dimensioned to receive the hook member and a hanger bracket defining a space for receiving the tongue and openings for receiving the tabs. The horizontal member may be engaged to the vertical member by lowering the hook member into the recess, the tongue into the space and the tabs into the openings to create a substantially rigid engagement secured by gravity.

Abstract: The storage cabinet including a housing structure, a center column assembly having a center column in which the center column assembly is mounted in the housing structure, and a reconfigurable shelf assembly having at least two partial shelves. The partial shelves may be mounted to the center column to form a coplanar shelf surface.

Abstract: An audience seating system including at least two platforms having a leg receiver at their rear margin and a leg supporting a protrusion engageable into a recess in the leg receiver and lockable by moving the leg from a non vertical orientation to a generally vertical orientation.

Abstract: An audience seating system including at least two platforms having a leg receiver at their rear margin and a leg supporting a protrusion engageable into a recess in the leg receiver and lockable by moving the leg from a non vertical orientation to a generally vertical orientation.

Abstract: A working surface panel, a bottom panel, a first side panel, a second side panel, and a back panel are removably attached to define a conductor resource center having an inner space. The inner space can include spatially adjustable shelves, drawers, document distribution systems, storage spaces, and the like. Electronic equipment and components are easily positioned and stored, and access is made around and through the resource center for channeling and distributing cables, cords and wires. In addition, embodiments of the present invention will include security panels to facilitate limited access to the contents stored and positioned within the resource center. A plurality of roller assemblies, and a plurality of interconnect assemblies enhance the portability and modular configuration options available with the present invention.

Abstract: An audience seating system of the present invention takes a modular approach to creating a wide variety of seating options. The system utilizes a variety of standardized parts that can be assembled in a flexible variety of configurations. The system generally utilizes a plurality of columns, trusses, end frames, and platforms. The major parts of the system are assembled and secured together by readily removable pins to create a flexible and secure seating system. A large part of the system is held together by gravity further simplifying installation and disassembly. By varying the size of the components, the rise and run of the system may be adjusted as desired.

Abstract: An acoustic door assembly generally comprises a door, a frame and a hinge. The door of the assembly is an insulated, acoustic door having a predetermined length. The frame of the assembly is positioned proximate the door and is joined thereto by the hinge. The hinge is a continuous, cam hinge having a length that is substantially equivalent to the predetermined length of the door and is secured along the length of the door.

Abstract: A mobile teaching station includes a mobile teaching surface designed to support a plurality of teaching props during instruction of students. A mobile storage facility for storing the teaching props is disposed proximate the mobile teaching surface and operably coupled thereto. The mobile teaching station further includes devices for readily transporting the mobile teaching surface to a desired teaching site. A method of facilitating mobile teaching of students includes the steps of (a) providing a mobile teaching surface designed to support a plurality of teaching props during instruction of students, (b) providing a mobile storage facility for storing the teaching props proximate the mobile teaching surface and operably coupled thereto, and (c) providing devices for readily transporting the mobile teaching surface to a desired teaching site.

Abstract: An erectable platform includes at least one bay, the bay having; at least one deck assembly, the deck assembly having a plurality of threaded couplers. The platform further includes support structure having at least two spaced apart main beams and at least two intermediate beams, each of said main beams underlying each of the at least one deck assemblies in a supporting disposition, each of said main beams presenting a first elongate, upward directed threaded receiver, the threaded receiver having two spaced apart rails defining a slot between the two rails, and each of said intermediate beams extending between two of the at least two main beams and being operably removably coupled thereto, and a plurality of depending columns operably removably coupled to the support structure in a supporting disposition.
