Modular Floor Element with Integrated Seating for Rapid Stand Assembly
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The construction and removal of traditional removable stands for events are time-consuming and require significant manpower and resources due to the need for separate positioning of floor elements and seating, making them inefficient and costly.
Innovation Solution
A method and design where a single, rigid floor element with multiple levels is positioned on a support structure, pre-equipped with seating, allowing for faster assembly and disassembly, and can be transported using regular means, reducing the need for extensive manpower and time.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If traditional separate positioning of floor elements and seating is used, then the stand can be constructed with simple components, but the construction takes up a lot of time and requires a lot of manpower
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple floor elements and seating rows into a single integrated floor element structure. This merging allows multiple rows of standings and/or seats to be positioned simultaneously as one unit, dramatically reducing construction time and manpower requirements while maintaining the functional separation of components through modular design
2Productivity
If multiple rows of standings and/or seats are positioned separately, then the floor elements can be simple and easy to manufacture, but the construction process requires significant manpower and time
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the integrated floor element into modular components that can be manufactured separately and then assembled into a complete unit. This segmentation allows for simplified manufacturing of individual parts while enabling rapid assembly of multiple rows simultaneously, improving both production ease and assembly efficiency
3Productivity
If the floor element is made large to include multiple rows, then construction time is reduced, but transportation becomes difficult with regular means
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the large floor element structure into smaller modular segments that can be transported using regular means. These segments are designed to be assembled into the complete multi-row structure on-site, allowing rapid construction while maintaining feasible transportation dimensions for each component

AI summary
Removable stand and method for constructing a removable stand. The method comprises constructing a support structure of posts and trusses that are positionable between the posts, and positioning a floor element on the support structure. Herein the floor element comprises a plurality of floor levels positioned behind each other and positioned at a distance in height and/or is the floor element, before it is positioned on the support structure, provided with at least one seat and/or bench and/or is floor element provided with connection means for connecting at least one seat and/or bench thereto.
