Abstract: A vehicle seat includes a seat with a seat pan and a backrest with a backrest bottom edge articulately being disposed adjacent to a seat pan rear edge. The seat pan and the backrest are positionable with respect to one another such that the seat is configurable into at least one of a taxi, takeoff and landing position, a napping position, and a sleeping position. A swivel is disposed beneath the seat. Base tracking also is disposed beneath the seat, permitting the seat to move in a lateral and a longitudinal direction. The seat also includes a first control to lock and unlock movement of the seat in lateral or longitudinal directions and a second control to lock and unlock the swivel. The swivel may be unlocked while movement of the seat in the lateral and the longitudinal direction is locked.

Abstract: An aircraft cabin comprising a credenza and a lounge chair disposed above the credenza is disclosed. The lounge chair is adjustable between a first configuration defining a first seating arrangement and a second configuration defining a second seating arrangement. Also disclosed is a mechanism to facilitate the adjustment of the lounge chair.

Abstract: A passenger seat for an aircraft has a fixed seat portion with a front facing toward a first direction of the aircraft. The fixed seat portion has a centerline spaced equally from opposed lateral sides of the fixed seat portion. A first engagement member extends upwardly from the front at the centerline to a first engagement end. A moveable seat portion is mounted onto the fixed seat portion and is displaceable relative thereto. The moveable seat portion has a second engagement member extending downwardly from a front of the moveable seat portion to a second engagement end. The second engagement member is displaceable with the moveable seat portion to position the second engagement end under the first engagement end in an engagement position such that the overlapping first and second engagement ends prevent the moveable seat portion from pitching in a second direction opposite to the first direction.

Abstract: A seat for a vehicle includes a seat pan and a backrest configurable into an upright position, a partially reclined position and a fully reclined position. The seat also includes a first pivot axis towards a front of the seat pan. The first pivot axis is vertically fixed in relation to a horizontal reference line for each of the upright position, the partially reclined position and the fully reclined position.

Abstract: A seat attachable to a floor of a vehicle includes a seat frame movable between a first position and a second position and a mounting assembly attached to the seat frame and configured to be secured to the floor. The mounting assembly and seat frame are configured so that when the seat frame is in the second position first and second sliding assemblies of the mounting assembly are both located in forwardly extended positions and no part of the mounting assembly contacts the floor forward of a front connection of the mounting assembly.

Abstract: A vehicle seat includes a seat pan, where the seat pan front edge defines a first pivot point and the seat pan rear edge defines a second pivot point. A swivel is disposed beneath and supporting the seat, permitting the seat to rotate about a pivotal axis. First and second armrests are disposed on either side of the seat pan. A first control is positioned in the first armrest to lock and unlock movement of the seat in at least one of lateral and longitudinal directions. A second control is positioned in the second armrest to lock and unlock at least the swivel.

Abstract: A vehicle seat includes a seat, a swivel connected to and rotatably supporting the seat, a swivel frame connected to the swivel, a first lateral rail supporting the swivel frame, the first lateral rail permitting the swivel frame to move in a first direction, and a first longitudinal rail supporting the first lateral rail such that the first lateral rail is movable along the first longitudinal rail, thereby permitting the swivel frame to move in a second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction.

Abstract: A vehicle seat includes a seat pan and a backrest. The seat pan and the backrest are positionable with respect to one another such that the seat is configurable into at least one of a taxi, takeoff and landing position, a napping position, and a sleeping position. A swivel is disposed beneath and supporting the seat, permitting the seat to rotate about a pivotal axis. Base tracking is disposed beneath and supporting the seat, permitting the seat to move in a lateral and a longitudinal direction. A first control is provided to lock and unlock movement of the seat in at least one of the lateral and the longitudinal directions. A second control is provided to lock and unlock the swivel. The swivel is permitted to be unlocked while movement of the seat in the lateral and the longitudinal direction is locked.

Abstract: A seat for an aircraft is provided that includes a seat pan, having a seat pan front edge and a seat pan rear edge, a backrest, having a backrest top edge and a backrest bottom edge, where the backrest bottom edge is articulately disposed adjacent to the seat pan rear edge, a headrest, having a headrest top edge and a headrest bottom edge, where the headrest bottom edge is articulately disposed adjacent to the backrest top edge, a tracking device disposed beneath the seat pan and being attachable to a floor of the aircraft, the tracking device permitting the seat pan to translate in at least one of a lateral direction and a longitudinal direction, and a swivel connected between the tracking device and the seat pan, permitting the seat pan to rotate with respect to the tracking device.

Abstract: A seat includes a seat pan, having a seat pan front edge and a seat pan rear edge. The seat pan front edge defines a first pivot point and the seat pan rear edge defines a second pivot point. A lumbar cushion, having a lumbar cushion top edge and a lumbar cushion bottom edge, is articulately disposed adjacent to the seat pan rear edge. A backrest, having a backrest top edge and a backrest bottom edge, is articulately disposed adjacent to the lumbar cushion top edge. A headrest, having a headrest top edge and a headrest bottom edge, is articulately disposed adjacent to the backrest top edge. The seat pan, the lumbar cushion, the backrest, and the headrest are positionable with respect to one another such that seat is configurable into at least one of a taxi, takeoff and landing position, a limited recline position, a napping position, and a sleeping position. The first pivot point remains in a substantially fixed position for each of the positions.

Abstract: A vehicle seat includes a seat, a swivel connected to and rotatably supporting the seat, a swivel frame connected to the swivel, a first lateral rail supporting the swivel frame, the first lateral rail permitting the swivel frame to move in a first direction, and a first longitudinal rail supporting the first lateral rail such that the first lateral rail is movable along the first longitudinal rail, thereby permitting the swivel frame to move in a second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction.

Abstract: A seat for a vehicle includes a seat pan, where the seat pan front edge defines a first pivot point and the seat pan rear edge defines a second pivot point, a backrest articulately disposed adjacent to the seat pan rear edge, a headrest articulately disposed adjacent to the backrest top edge, and two armrests positioned adjacent lateral sides of the seat pan. The armrests define top surfaces that are disposed a predetermined height above the seat pan top surface. The seat is configurable into at least one of a taxi, takeoff and landing position, a napping position, and a sleeping position. The first pivot point remains in a substantially fixed position for the taxi, takeoff and landing position, the napping position, and the sleeping position. The predetermined height varies for each of the taxi, takeoff and landing position, the napping position, and the sleeping position.
