  • Aircraft passenger seat
    Patent number: 6402244
    Abstract: An aircraft passenger seat is formed of a mounting frame having a tilt axis about which a seat part containing a seating surface and a backrest is tiltable. To ensure simple measures for adjusting the seat part with little movement in a region of the front edge, the tilt axis is disposed in a middle portion of the seating surface and a device is provided in a front portion of the seating surface which reduces the thigh pressure in the front portion of the seating surface on reclining the seat part. This may be achieved for example by a forwards downswept outer contour of the seating surface in the front portion.
