A barrier assembly for mounting to the end of a folding bleacher assembly for blocking access to the area under the bleacher seats. The folding barrier panel may be constructed of a heavy-gauge fabric material. The rearward edge of the panel is attached to a stationary connection at the rearward end of the bleacher assembly, and the forward edge of the panel is attached to a moving connection at the forwardmost seat section, so that the panel is pulled out straight when the bleacher assembly is extended. A chain or cable along the lower edge of the panel member is also stretched out straight between the two connections, so as to prevent persons from lifting the lower edge of the panel and passing thereunder. The upper edge of the panel may be attached directly to the rearward edges of the stacked deck sections, or it may be suspended from the deck sections on a series of pendant chains. In a collapsed configuration, the barrier assembly folds in a compact space behind the stacked rows of the bleacher assembly, and when extended forms a firm, flat barrier for preventing entry under the bleacher assembly.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A barrier assembly for a folding bleacher assembly, said barrier assembly, comprising:a collapsible panel member having upper and lower edges and forward and rearward edges, said collapsible panel member comprising a flexible, folding screen member; andmeans for mounting said rearward edge of said panel member to a stationary connection at a rearward end of a folding bleacher assembly and said forward edge of said panel member to a moving connection at a forward end of a bleacher assembly, so that said lower edge of said panel member is positioned closely adjacent a floor surface under a bleacher assembly and said upper edge of said panel member is positioned at a height above a floor surface which is sufficient to prevent persons from climbing over said panel member;said panel member having a length from said rearward edge to said forward edge which is selected for mounting said panel member to a bleacher assembly such that when a bleacher assembly is in an extended position, said panel member is pulled generally out between a moving and stationary connections so as to form a generally flat barrier which blocks persons from entering beneath a bleacher assembly.
