Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 164 words
A mobile grandstand including a wheeled vehicular frame having a given direction of travel; two seating tier members, each comprising a plurality of rows of seats arranged with one row behind and above another row, one of said seating tier members being connected to the frame, and the other of said seating tier members having roofing material on its side opposite said rows of seats and being hingedly connected to said one seating tier member by a hinge arrangement, the axis of which lies parallel to said given direction and adjacent the lower edge of the one seating tier member, whereby the other seating tier member may be moved between a travelling configuration in which it is directly above the one seating tier member, and constitutes a roof therefor, and a seating configuration in which said two seating tier members are arranged to form effectively a single bank of seats with the other seating tier member beside and below said one seating tier member.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 164 words
A mobile grandstand including a wheeled vehicular frame having a given direction of travel; two seating tier members, each comprising a plurality of rows of seats arranged with one row behind and above another row, one of said seating tier members being connected to the frame, and the other of said seating tier members having roofing material on its side opposite said rows of seats and being hingedly connected to said one seating tier member by a hinge arrangement, the axis of which lies parallel to said given direction and adjacent the lower edge of the one seating tier member, whereby the other seating tier member may be moved between a travelling configuration in which it is directly above the one seating tier member, and constitutes a roof therefor, and a seating configuration in which said two seating tier members are arranged to form effectively a single bank of seats with the other seating tier member beside and below said one seating tier member.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 33 words
