  • Publication number: 20130001990
    Abstract: A seat mounting system for row seating is a means to support a plurality of adjacent backrest and seat assemblies, fixedly arranged in rows in a seating facility. Rows of seats may be arranged in a straight line or curved line. The mounting system consists of support columns or brackets affixed to a floor or riser surface, with cross members linking the supports. The support columns or brackets may include devices for mounting armrests, backrests, and seats. The seat portion of the assembly is commonly mounted on an axle or pivot rod cross member to allow the seat to be rotated from a horizontal to a vertical position when not in use. Strength is critical to safety of the occupant, while reduced mass is critical to conservation of materials and energy.
