U.S. Patent No. 5,784,835

The U.S. Patent Office granted patent No. 5,784,835 to Louis R. McArthur, Jr. for “Telescopic seating system with continuous foot exentions support” on July 28, 1998.

Bridging the Gap to Support the Understructure

Continuous seatboard (or footboard) support keeps bleachers from sagging.

It’s an elegantly simple solution to the problems that have plagued retractable bleachers snce their inception. The Century Design® system makes any telescopic bleacher better, because it:

  • Eliminates damage/structural fatigue from unsupported
    downward loads.
  • Makes bleachers safe to use in a partially open position.
  • Protects the understructure from damage
  • Allows schools to get the full useable life (+100 years) from
    their bleachers -- without constant repairs.

Comes with a renewable 20-year warranty
