Beam mounted chair assembly
Beam mounted chair assemblies may include at least two standards supported on a floor, a beam secured to, and supported by, the standards, and a plurality of chair assemblies secured to, and supported by, the beam. Chair assemblies may be secured to a beam via associated chair brackets. Chair brackets may include chair seat pivots that pivotally secure a chair seat in proximity to a chair back such that the chair seat may pivot between an up and a down position. Chair brackets and standards may be secured to a beam such that the chair brackets and standards may be linearly positioned along a full length of the beam without interfering with one another. The beam mounted chair assemblies may include electrical power and/or data wiring and associated components.

a second beam having a first end and a second end, wherein the second beam is supported on at least one second standard, wherein the first beam extends from the at least one first standard toward the at least one second standard, and wherein the second beam extends from the at least one second standard toward the at least one first standard;
at least one chair assembly having a first chair bracket and a second chair bracket, wherein at least a first portion of the first chair bracket is secured to the first beam and at least a first portion of the second chair bracket is secured to the first beam or the second beam; and
at least one of: electrical data wiring or electrical power wiring incorporated within the first beam.
9. A beam mounted chair assembly as in claim 8 , further comprising:
a beam coupler, wherein the beam coupler secures the first end of the first beam in alignment with the second end of the second beam, and wherein a first portion of the beam coupler is inserted inside the first end of the first beam and a second portion of the beam coupler is inserted inside the second end of the second beam.
10. A beam mounted chair assembly as in claim 9 , wherein the second chair bracket is secured to the second beam such that a second portion of the second chair bracket is secured to the first beam.
11. A beam mounted chair assembly as in claim 9 , wherein a first portion of first beam is secured to a first portion of the at least one first standard and a second portion of the second beam is secured to a second portion of the at least one first standard.
12. A beam mounted chair assembly as in claim 8 , further comprising:
at least one electrical outlet incorporated within at least one of: the first beam, the second beam, the at least one first standard, the at least one second standard, the first chair bracket, or the second chair bracket.
13. A beam mounted chair assembly as in claim 8 , wherein at least one of the at least one first standard or the at least one second standard extends vertically from an associated structure.
14. A beam mounted chair assembly as in claim 8 , wherein at least one of the first beam or the second beam defines a curve in a horizontal plane.
15. A beam mounted chair assembly, comprising:
a first beam having a first end and a second end, wherein the first beam is supported on at least one first standard;
a second beam having a first end and a second end, wherein the second beam is supported on at least one second standard, wherein the first beam extends from the at least one first standard toward the at least one second standard, and wherein the second beam extends from the at least one second standard toward the at least one first standard;
at least one chair assembly having a first chair bracket and a second chair bracket secured to at least one of: the first beam or the second beam; and
at least one of: electrical data wiring or electrical power wiring incorporated within the first beam.
