  • Patent number: 10232754
    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.

  • Publication number: 20170151895
    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).

  • Patent number: 8528260
    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.

  • Patent number: 8174152
    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).
