Abstract: The invention relates to a vehicle seat (1) comprising a seat surface (2) and at last one backrest element (3, 13) which are pivotable about an axis (6) relative to the seat surface (2). The at least one backrest element (3, 13) is movable from a sitting position, in which the backrest element (3, 13) is positioned substantially at an angle (a) relative to the seat surface (2), into a reclined position, in which the seat surface (2) and the at least one backrest element (3, 13) form a substantially planar surface, and back again. The vehicle seat (1) has at least one pneumatic cushion (10; 10.1, 10.2) and a pneumatic unit (9), which is configured in such a way that the pneumatic unit substantially completely inflates the at least one pneumatic cushion (10; 10.1, 10.2) if the at least one backrest element (3, 13) is moved into the reclined position, and the at least one pneumatic cushion (10; 10.1, 10.2) is substantially completely emptied when the backrest element (3, 13) is moved into the sitting position.

Abstract: A vehicle seat having a seating surface which has a front edge and a rear edge, and a backrest arranged at the rear edge and situated at an angle to the seating surface. The seating surface is divided into a main part and at least one front part. The main part and the at least one front part can be moved relative to one another by means of an adjusting device to enable a distance between the front edge and the rear edge of the seating surface to be adjusted dynamically. At least two inflatable chambers are arranged between the main part and the at least one front part, which chambers can be inflated and emptied in accordance with the distance of the front edge from the rear edge.

Abstract: The present application relates to a vehicle seat (1) comprising a seat surface (2) and at least one rest part (3.1, 3.2) at an angle to the seat surface (2). The angle between the seat surface (2) and the at least one rest part (3.1, 3.2) is movable via an adjusting device (6, 13) between a first position, in which the at least one rest part (3.1, 3.2) is substantially at right angles to the seat surface (2), and a second position, in which the seat surface (2) and the at least one rest part (3.1, 3.2) form a substantially flat surface. A second end (10.1, 10.2) of the at least one rest part (3.1, 3.2) comprises at least one pneumatic cushion (4) which is fluidically connected to a pump (7), wherein a control device is configured such that the pneumatic cushion (4) is substantially completely emptied when the at least one rest part (3.1, 3.2) moves from the first position into the second position.

Abstract: The invention relates to a pump unit for inflating and deflating a pneumatic cushion, comprising a pump with two conveying directions, a first fluid line to connect the pump to the pneumatic cushion, and a second fluid line with which the pump can be connected to a supply line or the atmosphere, as well as a first pressure sensor that is connected to the first fluid line or to the second fluid line in order to measure a fluid pressure present in the fluid line. The pump unit also has a control unit that is connected to the pump and to the first pressure sensor. The pump, at least one part of the first fluid line, the second fluid line, the first pressure sensor and the control unit are arranged in a common housing.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a vehicle seat (1) having a seating surface (2), which has a front edge (16; 16.1, 16.2) and a rear edge (17), and a backrest (3) arranged at the rear edge (17) and situated at an angle to the seating surface (2). The seating surface (2) is divided into a main part (4) and at least one front part (5; 5.1, 5.2). The main part (4) and the at least one front part (5; 5.1, 5.2) can be moved relative to one another by means of an adjusting device to enable a distance between the front edge (16; 16.1, 16.2) and the rear edge (17) of the seating surface (2) to be adjusted dynamically. At least two inflatable chambers (6, 7; 6.1, 6.2, 7.1, 7.2) are arranged between the main part (4) and the at least one front part (5; 5.1, 5.2), which chambers can be inflated and emptied in accordance with the distance (D; D1, D2) of the front edge (16; 16.1, 16.2) from the rear edge (17).

Abstract: The present application relates to a vehicle seat (1) comprising a seat surface (2) and at least one rest part (3.1, 3.2) at an angle to the seat surface (2). The angle between the seat surface (2) and the at least one rest part (3.1, 3.2) is movable via an adjusting device (6, 13) between a first position, in which the at least one rest part (3.1, 3.2) is substantially at right angles to the seat surface (2), and a second position, in which the seat surface (2) and the at least one rest part (3.1, 3.2) form a substantially flat surface. A second end (10.1, 10.2) of the at least one rest part (3.1, 3.2) comprises at least one pneumatic cushion (4) which is fluidically connected to a pump (7), wherein a control device is configured such that the pneumatic cushion (4) is substantially completely emptied when the at least one rest part (3.1, 3.2) moves from the first position into the second position.

Abstract: The invention comprises a structure having at least two separate air chambers (7) enclosed by flexible, flat material (8) and having flexible bars (9) in the interior thereof for stabilizing an external shape of the air chambers (7). The structure is characterized in that the air chambers (7) form a wall structure (4) in the inflated state. By means of such a wall structure (4)—preferably in conjunction with a corresponding ceiling structure (16)—lightweight berths (1), particularly for aircraft crew, flight passengers, or transported injured persons, can be set up quickly and simply.

Abstract: An arrangement for supplying a load with electrical energy from a power source comprises a textile, woven floor covering (101) with longitudinally running warp threads and transversely running weft threads, three or more current conductors (106) that are spaced apart and substantially parallel to one another being woven in either as warp threads or as weft threads, the current conductors replacing part of a filling warp, a binding warp or the weft threads during the weaving operation. The arrangement also comprises a feed for the connection of the current conductors (106) to the power source and a coupling device (130) for picking up electrical energy from the current conductors (106) in the floor covering (101) and transporting it further to the load when the coupling device (130) is brought into a power pick-up area of the floor covering (101).
