Senior citizens getting into restaurant booths have trouble scooting over to the wall and back again after the meal.
This idea is a somewhat padded conveyor belt that slowly moves the patron over to the wall or back to the aisle. A button just under a marked portion of the table edge moves the conveyor
slowly towards the wall, a second button on the wall moves it in the opposite direction. Upon activation the belt rises a bit before moving such that minimal assistance on the part of the patron is required, settling back down when stopped such that the patron would have the full comfort of the seat.

There's a meeting nook where I work which is furnished a bit like a cafe booth, and which needs this feature. [+] |

I had this same idea for church pews. |

This would be great for airline seating too. |

Have the mechanism be operated by a hand-crank which has to be vigorously turned to move the converter-belt seating, to avoid this being another thing that encourages people to become yet more lazy and sedentary |

So is this like the opposite of one of those mechanised sushi bars? The tables stay fixed and the diners move on an endless conveyor? |
|

Interesting way to do a sampler platter. Pray the people upbooth don't have communicable diseases... |

Only if you combine it with a table that has an adjustable width, so my body/belly will fit comfortably 'twixt seat back and table. |

(+) Agreed. Make it so Number One. |
