An acoustic shell system includes a frame comprising a first column, a second column, and a base. The first and second columns each comprise a circular portion with a channel along the length of the column where the circular portion is configured to attach to one or more panels. The circular portion is coupled to a noncircular portion opposite the channel having at least one channel along the length of the column and configured to attach to one or more components. The base comprises first and second arms coupled to opposing ends of a cross-support. Each of the arms is also coupled to one of the columns at about a ninety degree angle. The length of the cross-support is less than the distance between the first and second columns.

Acoustic shell frame and system

A portable staging system adjustable for quick assembly and disassembly and inherent sturdiness. The portable staging system includes a bracket assembly for detachably coupling a support member to the platform of the portable stage. The bracket assembly includes a bracket sleeve adapted to receive the support member, a brace member shiftable within the bracket sleeve between a support member engaging position and a support member clearing position, and an actuator assembly for simultaneously shift first and second drivers of the brace member.

Portable staging and leg bracket therefor

A modular floor including a pair of main beams, at least one cross beam and a floor panel. The pair of main beams each has an attachment structure. The attachment structure includes a first support section, a second support section and a channel that extends between the first and second support sections. The first and second support sections have a convex upper surface. The at least one cross beam engages the main beams to retain the main beams in a stationary position with respect to each other. The floor panel has ends that each have a recess that is shaped complementary to the upper surfaces of the first and second sections.

Modular floor

A riser cart including a cart support frame, a first swing arm post assembly and a second swing arm post assembly. The cart support frame has a plurality of wheels rotatably attached thereto. The first swing arm post assembly is mounted to the cart support frame. The first swing arm post assembly includes a first swing arm post and a first plurality of swing arms. The first swing arms are rotatable between a storage position and a loading position. The second swing arm post assembly is mounted to the cart support frame. The second swing arm post assembly includes a second swing arm post and a second plurality of swing arms. The second swing arms are rotatable between a storage position and a loading position.

Riser cart

An erectable platform includes at least one bay, the bay having; at least one deck assembly, the deck assembly having a plurality of threaded couplers. The platform further includes support structure having at least two spaced apart main beams and at least two intermediate beams, each of said main beams underlying each of the at least one deck assemblies in a supporting disposition, each of said main beams presenting a first elongate, upward directed threaded receiver, the threaded receiver having two spaced apart rails defining a slot between the two rails, and each of said intermediate beams extending between two of the at least two main beams and being operably removably coupled thereto, and a plurality of depending columns operably removably coupled to the support structure in a supporting disposition.

Erectable platform

A portable stage platform includes a platform assembly having a mass and being shiftable between a stowed configuration and a performance configuration. The platform assembly has a platform that presents an upwardly directed performance surface when in the performance configuration and an opposed underside. The underside has a plurality of collapsible legs operably coupled thereto. The collapsible legs are shiftable between a collapsed configuration in which the collapsible legs are substantially flush with the underside and an extended configuration in which the collapsible legs are substantially transverse to the underside. The portable stage platform includes a platform base assembly that is shiftable between a stowed configuration and a performance configuration. The platform base assembly has apparatus for counterbalancing the mass of the platform assembly in order to minimize the effort required of an operator to shift the platform assembly between the stowed configuration and a performance configuration.
