  • Patent number: 11999487
    Abstract: An aircraft seat (1) is disclosed. The aircraft seat (1) comprises a seating surface (51), an armrest (7), and a gas strut (9) configured such that the armrest (7) can be moved between a raised position a lowered position in which an armrest surface (71) is substantially level with the seating surface (51). The gas strut (9) comprises a switch (92) with an unlocked configuration in which the stroke of the gas strut (9) can be adjusted and a locked configuration for locking the stroke of the gas strut (9) so that the armrest (7) can be held at any position between the raised position and the lowered position. A trigger (117) is configured to move the switch (92) between the locked and unlocked configurations upon actuation of an actuatable member (111) that is located upon a surface of the aircraft seat (1).
