Patent attributes
An electrical system for group seating arrangements includes a plurality of conduit assemblies and a plurality of branch assemblies, each made up of hollow casings with electrical connectors and seals at their opposite ends, and with electrical conductors providing continuity to the electrical connectors of each branch and conduit assembly. A mechanical latch or lock coupling at each of the ends, combined with a seal at each coupling or junction, provides a secure and contaminant-resistant mechanical connection and at each conduit-to-conduit or conduit-to-branch junction. The hollow casings of the conduit assemblies and branch assemblies may be made of high-strength material so as to resist damage from impacts when installed in high traffic areas such as stadiums, arenas, theaters, and public transit vehicles.
