Abstract

The invention relates to a grandstand having a plurality of seat rows and/or standing space rows which rise in a stepped manner and are accessible via at least one access route which bridges the height difference between the seat rows and/or standing space rows, the gradient of the seat rows and/or standing space rows and the gradient of the access route enclosing an angle of from approximately 20° to approximately 90°, with the result that the gradient of the access route has a first component which runs parallel to the direction of the space rows and runs towards the space rows.

Claims (28)

1. A grandstand comprising a plurality of seat rows rising in a step-like appearance and being accessible via at least one access route bridging a height difference between the seat rows, wherein a gradient of the seat rows and a gradient of the access route enclose an angle of from approximately 20° to approximately 90°, and wherein the gradient of the access route has a second component which runs parallel to the gradient of the seat rows and wherein the gradient of the access route has a first component which runs perpendicular to the gradient of the seat rows and points towards the seat rows.

2. The grandstand as claimed in claim 1 , wherein more than one seat row is accessible by way of a contiguous staircase as an access route.

3. The grandstand as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the gradient of the seat rows and the gradient of the access route enclose an angle of from approximately 50° to approximately 90°.

4. The grandstand as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the gradient of the seat rows is different from the gradient of the access route.

5. The grandstand as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the gradient of the seat rows is greater than the gradient of the access route.

6. The grandstand as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the grandstand has at least one first tier having a plurality of seat rows and at least one second tier having a plurality of seat rows, and a tier has more than approximately 100 seats.

7. The grandstand as claimed in claim 1 , comprising more than approximately 3000 seats.

8. The grandstand as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the rake of the seat rows rising in a step-like appearance is selected from approximately 37° to approximately 80°.

9. The grandstand as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the rake of the access route is less than 37°.

10. The grandstand as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the width of the access route decreases from the lowermost seat row to the uppermost seat row.

11. The grandstand as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the width of the access route remains constant from the lowermost seat row to the uppermost seat row.

12. The grandstand as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the width of the access route is from approximately 80 cm to approximately 300 cm.

13. The grandstand as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a walking direction of the access route and the gradient of the access route enclose an angle of from approximately 0° to approximately 60°.

14. The grandstand as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the gradient of the access route has a second component parallel to the gradient of the seat rows and a first component perpendicular to the gradient of the seat rows, wherein the second component is smaller than the first component.

15. The grandstand as claimed in claim 1 , wherein all the seats of a single seat row are arranged next to one another on one level.

16. The grandstand as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the seat row is of horizontal configuration.

17. A grandstand comprising a plurality of seat rows which rise in a step-like manner and are accessible via at least one access route which bridges an height difference between the seat rows, wherein a rake of the seat rows is greater than a rake of the access route.

18. The grandstand as claimed in claim 17 , wherein the rake of the seat rows is selected from approximately 37° to approximately 80°.

19. The grandstand as claimed in claim 17 , wherein the rake of the access route is less than 37°.

20. The grandstand as claimed in claim 17 , wherein the seat row has no height difference along its longitudinal extent.

21. The grandstand as claimed in claim 17 , wherein the seat row contains at least two seats which are arranged next to one another on one level.

22. A grandstand comprising a plurality of seat rows rising in a step-like manner and being accessible via at least one access route bridging a height difference between the seat rows, wherein a rake of the seat rows is selected from approximately 40° to approximately 80°

wherein the seat row comprises at least two seats being arranged next to one another on one level, and

wherein the rake of the space rows is greater than the rake of the access route.

23. The grandstand as claimed in claim 22 , wherein the rake of the access route is less than 37°.

24. The grandstand as claimed in claim 22 , wherein more than one seat row is accessible by means of a contiguous staircase as access route.

25. The grandstand as claimed in claim 22 , wherein a gradient of the seat rows and a gradient of the access route enclose an angle of from approximately 50° to approximately 90°.

26. A stadium comprising at least one grandstand as claimed in claim 1 .
