ARTICULATED FLOOR STRUCTURE FOR A MOBILE STAGE FRAMEWORK

摘要

The articulated floor structure (100) is for use in a mobile stage framework having a horizontally- extending elongated base (102). The floor structure (100) includes at least two pairs of adjacent elongated floor panels (106) forming altogether a set of at least four successive floor panels (106) that are pivotally attached in juxtaposition at corresponding major lateral side edges using a plurality of concealed panel hinges (158, 160). The floor panels (106) are movable between a vertical transport position and a horizontal working position using actuators (140) and linkage assemblies (150). The floor structure (100) also includes spaced-apart joists (130) that are positioned underneath the floor panels (106) when the floor structure (100) is in a deployed working configuration.
