ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for moving seated or standing people or objects in a closed path in which the closed path may be other than circular. The apparatus comprises a chain of movable platforms arranged in a closed loop free-form geometrical arrangement and arranged to travel above or below a stationary floor surface. By providing tables and chairs on each platform, one or more diners can be seated at each of the tables and thus will be enabled to view a changing surrounding view while immobile at the table on the moving platform. Preferably, the platforms are constructed on supporting chassis in the form of wheeled vehicles each pivotable about a pivot on an adjacent platform chassis. Each chassis may comprise a cross member positioned generally perpendicular to the direction of travel and rigidly connected to a tie member extending generally perpendicular to the cross member. The tie member preferably forms part of the drive for the chained platforms.
