Abstract: |
A theater chair movable by remote control comprises a support structure, a chassis having a back and arms installed on same, and a seat rotatably engaged to the chassis. The support structure comprises, at each side of the chassis, a rigid frame, a vertical sliding mechanism and a horizontal sliding mechanism. The sliding mechanisms comprise fluid-actuable ram devices. The horizontal sliding mechanisms are attached by means of universal joints to the chassis of the chair and both vertical and horizontal sliding mechanisms are driven independently, operated by remote control by sending a signal in synchronism with a scene of the show. The seat contains a vibrator for producing vibrational and rhythmic movements in the seat.

First Claim:

I claim:
1. A theater chair movable by remote control, comprising a supporting structure, a chassis with a backrest and two armrests integral therewith and installed on the supporting structure, a seat connected to the chassis so as to be rotatable with respect thereto, and vibrational means within said seat, the supporting structure comprising, at each side of the chassis:
- a rigid frame;
- a first fluid-actuable ram device supported by said rigid frame;
- a first plate connected to be acted upon the first ram device to be displaced vertically thereby;
- a second fluid-actuable ram device supported by said first plate; and
- a second plate connected to be acted upon by the second ram device to be displaced horizontally thereby,
the second plate at one side of said chassis being connected to said one side of said chassis through at least one ball and socket universal joint and the second plate at the other side of said chassis being connected to said other side of said chassis by way of at least one other ball and socket universal joint so that the two sides of the chassis may be raised or lowered independently of one another by independently actuating the first ram devices and the two sides of the chassis may be moved forwards or backwards independently of one another by independently actuating the second ram devices.
