Abstract: In order to suppress a claustrophobic feeling that a person sitting on a rear seat receives due to a front seat, and to make the front seat easy to use as an ottoman by the person, a movement adjustment system is used for a passenger seat and a rear seat, and includes a slide rail for moving the rear seat in the front to back direction, and a control part for changing the movement region of the rear seat by the slide rail. The passenger seat has a seat cushion, and a seat back mounted to be changeable between an upright state and a lowered state with respect to the seat cushion. The control part changes the movement region so that the passenger seat and the rear seat can come closer when the seat back of the passenger seat is in the lowered state than in the upright state.

Abstract: An adjustable seat system includes a pair of chairs aligned with each other so that a front side of one chair faces a backside of another of the chairs. Each of the chairs includes a seat having a plurality of legs. The seat includes a pair of lateral walls and a seat cushion positioned between the lateral walls. The seat cushion has a rear edge and a front edge. A backrest is attached to the seat. A drive mechanism is mechanically coupled to the seat cushion. The drive mechanism is actuated in a first direction to lift the rear edge upwardly or actuated in a second direction to lower the rear edge downwardly to an approximately horizontal orientation. A seat control is electrically coupled to the drive mechanism and is actuated to selectively actuate the drive mechanism in a first direction or a second direction.

Abstract: A vehicle seat that embodies a foot support assembly that is movable from a stowed position proximate the seat back to a deployed position wherein the assembly extends rearwardly of the seat. The foot support assembly of the vehicle seat includes a sub-assembly that comprises a pair of side-support members that support a footrest, the sub-assembly being positioned so as to automatically pivot downwardly as the foot support assembly is moved into its deployed position. The footrest is pivotally connected to the pair of side-support members for movement from a stowed position between the side-support members to a deployed position wherein it extends outwardly from the side-support members.

Abstract: A leg supporting device for use behind a head rest for air and vehicular travel has a head rest support portion that fits over a head rest of a forwardly positioned seat and supports a back flap portion that hangs down behind the forwardly positioned seat. A pair of adjustment straps adjustably attach to the back flap portion and supports a foot support portion. A user slips one or both of their feet into the foot support portion and then adjusts the adjustment straps to support their feet at a desired height and position. The foot support portion handles to carry it. In use, the leg supporting device can be folded and placed within the foot support portion and carried using the handles until needed. One embodiment includes pockets for holding drinks, computer, and other carry-on items. A leg massage unit may be built in for additional relief.

Abstract: A comfort system for a seat, in particular for vehicle and aircraft passenger seats mounted one behind the other in a row, has at least one support component (1) movable from a non-use position to a use position. Foot and leg components (3, 5) of a seat occupant rest on at least one support surface. The support component (1) is held in the use position by a fastening mechanism (15) and extends at least in part into a foot space which may be used by the occupant of the rear seat of two seats mounted in a row. The support component (1) clears the foot space when the component is in the non-use position and is essentially flexible. When in the use position, the fastening mechanism (15) at least in part follows a curved path, and is mounted on the front seat of two seats mounted in a row.

Abstract: A footrest is mounted to the frame of a forward seat and is pivotally mounted thereto to be movable between a raised stored position adjacent the back of the seat to a lowered use position for supporting a second row passenger's feet. The footrest responds to a force above a predetermined level to breakaway to prevent damage to the footrest which can be subsequently returned to the use or stored position. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the footrest comprises a generally U-shaped member having a mounting bracket including the pivot coupling to opposite ends of the member to allow such pivotal movement. In addition, the mounting bracket and U-shaped footrest include a deformable stop extending between the two which holds the footrest in a use position and allows the footrest to pivot downwardly if an excessive force is placed thereon.
