Abstract: A deployable tray table, of the type revolvingly constrained to a support and movable between a horizontal operating position and an upwardly rotated position, comprises a distal portion, near to the support, and a proximal portion which are placed side by side and adjacent, divided by a separation in which adjacent edges of the two portions are joined by means of respective hinges, so that the proximal portion could rotate by 180° from a folded position in a configuration with reduced overall dimensions, in which said hinges comprise each one a respective hinge pin retractable in the respective portion, so as to be able to disengage and separate the proximal portion from the distal portion.

Abstract: A reclining seat comprises a fixed supporting frame, a reclining backrest, a sitting portion and a stiffening mechanism with reduced overall dimensions, which in turn comprises, at lower ends of frame elements forming the seat frame, a lever which is revolvingly hinged on a respective pin integral with the supporting frame and forming a rocker arm which rotates by a pre-fixed angle from a first position, corresponding to the reclining backrest in erected position, to a second position, corresponding to the reclining backrest in reclined position, a stiff tie-rod being provided the ends thereof are joined to the respective distal ends of the rocker arms, thereby the rotation of one of them causes the rotation by an angle having the same width of the other rocker arm.

Abstract: A reclining seat comprises a fixed supporting frame, a reclining backrest, and a damping device providing, at lower ends of frame elements forming the seat frame, a lever which is revolvingly hinged on a respective pin integral to the supporting frame and which forms a rocker arm which rotates by a prefixed angle from a first position, corresponding to the reclining backrest in erected position, to a second position, corresponding to the reclining backrest in reclined position, a hydraulic cylinder being provided, with respective fastening ends revolvingly connected respectively to said second lever and to the fixed supporting frame in a prefixed position.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a seat (1) for means of transport, such as aircraft, trains and the like, of the type arranged in series to the other seats (1) so as to form a column, comprising a base portion (11) for the seat of a passenger, a backrest (12), having a first and a second end, said first end being fixed to said base portion (11), a headrest (13) fixed to said second end of said backrest (12), or integrated in said backrest (12), said headrest (13) having a front surface (131), on which the passenger sitting on said base portion (11) can lay his own head, and a rear surface (132), opposite to said front surface (131) and facing a further seat (2) placed in the column behind said seat (1), when said seat (1) is arranged in a column.

Abstract: A system of seats is described to be used on any transportation means, e.g. aircraft, train or ship, in order to offer a high level of comfort to passengers, concomitantly reducing the encumbrances associated to such seats and thereby allowing to provide a higher number of seats, available cabin space being equal, at competitive prices. The system of seats available space being equal when compared to a typical first-class installation, makes available plural seats, concomitantly maintaining an equal level of comfort.

Abstract: The invention relates to a polyurethane foam comprising, for 100 parts by weight of a polyol, between 15 and 30 parts by weight of graphite, between 4 and 10 parts by weight of hollow charges of a glass material, and between 50 and 70 parts by weight of isocyanate.

Abstract: The invention relates to a stuffed structure comprising a core and a coating wherein the core comprises melamine and the coating comprises polyurethane foam comprising, for 100 parts by weight of a polyol, between 15 and 30 parts by weight of graphite, between 4 and 10 parts by weight of hollow charges of a glass material, and between 50 and 70 parts by weight of isocyanate.

Abstract: The invention concerns to a mechanism to obtain the complete reclining of a seat, particularly for an aircraft seat, comprising a lower element (3), fixed to the floor, provided with a guide, placed in a substantially rear position; a seat element (7), on which the back (1) and the seat (2) are pivoted, respectively on. the rear and frontally, a rocking lever element (12), pivoted in front of said lower element (3), and above the lower part of said seat element, (7); and a lever element (16), pivoted, at its rear end (17), on the coupling point (12) between the seat (7) and the back (1), and at its front end (18), on said rocking lever (12); being further provided actuating means (14) that, acting on the rocking lever, cause the operation of the whole mechanism, reclining or lifting the seat.

Abstract: Chairs employed in economy-class aircraft seating often incline by rotation of the back about a fixed point, usually the rear edge of the fixed seat. While increasing the comfort of one passenger, this form of seat inclination reduces the space available for the passenger seated in the aft seat. A chair with improved cradle motion, particularly for use in aircraft, is described in which inclination may occur with little or no reduction in the space available to surrounding passengers. Inclination is achieved by the contemporaneous forward sliding of the back portion and the seat portion of the chair relative to the fixed seat frame.

Abstract: A reclining seat for use in a vehicle is provided with a back shell at least partially surrounding the back so that between a first upright position and a second reclined position the back shell is capable of independent positioning relative to said back cushion, whereby privacy may be enhanced by the position of the back shell. Preferably, the armrest is selectively moveable from above the seating surface to a position approximately level with the seating surface, and most preferably there is also at least one shoulder privacy panel selectively extendible within an area between the seating surface and the back shell. In certain preferred embodiments the back shell has a range of pivot of about 15 degrees between a first position and a second position. In another aspect of the present invention, a video monitor is integrated into the back shell, preferably independently tiltable from a fist position to a second position, most preferably within a range of tilt of approximately 25-degrees.

Abstract: The invention concerns a chair with improved cradle motion, particularly for aircrafts, said chair providing a back portion (2, 2′), a seat portion (3, 3′), a basic frame (4, 4′), the chair being characterised in that means (5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, 13; 5′, 6′, 7′, 8′, 9′, 12′, 13′) are provided for the forward sliding contemporaneously with the forward sliding of the back portion (2, 2′) and of the seat portion (3, 3′).
