Patent number: 9975454Abstract: The present invention generally relates to passenger seats. Some embodiments are related to a compact seat kinematic for moving a seat from a retracted position to an extended position. In some embodiments an intermediate component may be provided for coupling between a lower frame and an upper seat portion. The intermediate component (230) may translate in a forward direction relative to the lower frame and may translate the upper seat portion in the forward direction relative to the intermediate component. Other embodiments relate to a seat backrest recline system that may provide constant ratio of speed and force and may forgo the need for calibration.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2014Date of Patent: May 22, 2018Assignee: Zodiac Seats FranceInventor: Jeremy Cailleteau

Patent number: 9856025Abstract: The present invention generally relates to passenger aircraft seats. The disclosure focuses on a seat unit arrangement (10) for a cabin and seat units that provide different comfort positions. In some embodiments, a side cushion (14) forms part of a bed surface when the seats are converted to a bed position. In some embodiments, a bed extension (30) is deployed from a stowed position to form a part of the bed surface. In some embodiments, a seat backrest (22) does not form part of the bed surface when the seat unit is in the bed position. In some embodiments, a lounge position is provided when the seat backrest rotates toward a side cushion. In such an embodiment, the passenger may be positioned toward the side cushion such that the passenger may comfortably rest their legs on the side cushion without converting the seat to a bed position.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2013Date of Patent: January 2, 2018Assignee: Zodiac Seats FranceInventors: Franck Jasny, Christophe Ducreux, Jeremy Cailleteau, Philippe Roy, Patrick Herault
