ABSTRACT:
Retractable seats are described for use with discrete, free-standing gaming devices. A support arm is fastened at one end to a vertical standing surface. The gaming seat is positioned at the distal end of the support arm and can be selectively positioned in the horizontal or vertical positions. In all embodiments, a spring loaded pneumatic cylinder is used to retract the support arm from its extended position in front of the gaming device.
Three different embodiments of the support arm and gaming seat are disclosed. The first embodiment comprises a support arm having one section only which rotates about a pivotal fastener between the horizontal and vertical position. The second embodiment comprises a support arm having a plurality of sections with generally rectangular cross-sections, consecutive sections sized to be received within each other. In this embodiment, retraction occurs along the longitudinal axis of the support arm. The third embodiment has support arm sections having circular cross-sections. Retraction along the longitudinal axis is accomplished through a spring loaded pneumatic device. Means for locking the sections in an extended position is disclosed.
