Summary:


Lyric presents a clean and simple aesthetic design while offering a rugged internal construction with molded covers that provide protection to the outer surfaces of the seats and backs. The seats and backs are composed of sturdy steel frames that are fitted with suspension webbing and high-density polyurethane foam cushions which provide the utmost in comfort and durability. A slim chair envelope permits the architect to maximize capacity without sacrificing comfort or proper egress space. The following models are available:


Features:

  • Gravity seat mechanism insures that the seat will always quietly return to a consistent vertical position.
  • Durable powder-coat finish is standard on all steel components.
  • Seat and back covers are molded of impact resistant polypropylene.
  • Armrests are molded of durable high-density polyethylene.
  • Innovative molded seat hinge insures quiet operation and requires no maintenance.
  • Unique floor plate design conceals anchoring bolts and provides a clean appearance.
  • Removable seat and back covers are standard and allow for easier on-site replacement.
  • Unique slim profile of only 17-1/2″ allows greater chair capacity.
  • Standard spacing is 19″, 20″, 21″, and 22″ c.c. of frames.
  • Lifetime Warranty is standard on the Lyric.



Advantages:



Gravity Tip-Up Seat

The Lyric seat tip-up action is attained by the use of a gravity counterweight mechanism. The advantages of a gravity mechanism over a spring or cylinder mechanism are as follows:

Consistent and automatic return to the upright position. Spring mechanisms can have inconsistent tip-up action due to the variation of the strength or fatigue of the steel springs. This affects the aesthetics of the room and may affect compliance with egress codes since the seats may not return to a consistent upright position.


Silent action. Spring mechanisms are likely to develop squeaks and normally produce several loud hits before coming to a stop.


Seat tip-up will never fail. Because the Lyric mechanism relies on gravity, it will never fail to return the seat to its upright position. In contrast, as a spring mechanism fatigues, the seat tip-up action will get slower. Eventually, the spring mechanism may fail to return the seat to the upright position, producing a possible violation of egress codes.



Seat Construction

The Lyric seat is a combination of a rugged steel frame which is built for tough commercial use and a comfort system that is designed to provide a supportive yet soft feel resulting from the use of elastic suspension webbing. This system provides a flexible platform for the polyurethane seat cushion which ensures comfort during extended seating periods and durability over the lifetime of the product.

Silence, durability, comfort. Lyric’s flexible polyurethane foam and elastic web construction offers significant user comfort over long seating periods. Seats constructed with serpentine springs often fatigue, sag and fail. This creates an uncomfortable and noisy seat, which may require replacement. Additionally, the absence of steel springs insures completely silent compression during use.

Upholstered options. Unlike metal seat pans with serpentine springs, Teatro’s all-wood construction allows for custom upholstery detailing. The fully-upholstered seat has a zippered slip-on fabric cover for easier on-site replacement.

Lyric  Chair Frames

The Lyric frames are welded assemblies of heavy gauge and solid steel components. The advantages of this type of construction are listed below:


Flexibility – The Lyric’s welded steel assembly allows for simple and cost efficient design modifications for conformance to unique building conditions. Unlike high-volume castings, welded construction facilitates small production run modifications.

Seat Hinges

The innovative Lyric seat hinge is molded of DupontTM Zytel® material and is designed for silent operation and years of maintenance free performance.

Resilience and Reliability: Unlike cast metal hinges, the Lyric seat hinge is able to withstand extreme impacts and heavy loads with no fear of catastrophic failure. In combination with the gravity tip-up action, the Lyric seat hinge is unparalleled in excellence of performance.

Cost of Ownership

Due to the obvious product advantages of Lyric seating, its competitive price, and the superior service and warranty offered by TSI, purchasing Lyric seating is a better long-term value. The initial savings associated with the purchase of a less expensive chair is likely to be lost through ongoing maintenance and replacement during the lifetime of the product.
