Abstract: A vehicle seat, an adjusting system and a method for moving at least one vehicle seat arranged in a vehicle cabin, particularly an aircraft seat, comprising seat components that are coupled or guided together, such as a seat part, a backrest and a leg rest, the location and/or inclination of which can be adjusted by means of at least one or more adjusting units. The adjusting system allows a separation of the basic functions from driving devices, with an electronic device for collision-free movement and for adjusting custom-designed functions and facilitating the adaptation of the custom-designed functions. The movement sequences and movements of the respective individual seat components and the seat components in relation to one another and the movements of the components or seats within an environment or group of seats are accomplished by means of a movement model in a coordinate system.

Abstract: A vehicle seat, especially an aircraft passenger seat, has at least one seat component which can be adjusted in its position, such as a seat part. The seat part can be mounted with its seat frame structure (3) by swivelable support legs (7, 11) above a floor structure (1). The support legs (7, 11) act on the seat frame structure (3) in pairs in the area of the front edge (9) and rear edge (5) of the seat of the seat part. An actuating mechanism is connected by action to a pair of support legs (7, 11) for producing a swiveling motion of the support legs (7, 11) causing a change in the position of the seat part. The actuating mechanism is coupled to the assigned pair of support legs (7, 11) by a differential mechanism (13) which converts the swiveling motion of the support legs (11) into a change of the effective length of the assigned pair of support legs (11). The length determines the vertical distance between the seat frame structure (3) and the floor structure (1).

Abstract: A vehicle seat, especially for aircraft, includes a seat part (10) and a backrest (12) displaceable relative to each other by at least one adjustment device (14). The adjustment device (14) is provided with a plurality of articulation points (16) interconnected via a bar-type supporting frame (18) with individual bar elements (26, 30, 32, 36, and 40). The frame raises and supports the seat part (10) relative to the vehicle or cabin floor and effects a displacement movement by an actuator (28). The seat part (10) can be brought from an initial position (1) into at least one further position (II, III) and back. Depending on the number of articulation points and bar elements of the frame, the number of possible movements and the degree of freedom of movement of the seat part is substantially higher than in known systems. The seat part and the backrest can be safely positioned within a very wide range of adjustable positions.

Abstract: The invention relates to a vehicle seat, especially for aircraft, comprising a seat part (10) and a backrest (12) that can be displaced relative to each other by means of at least one adjustment device (14). The respective adjustment device (14) is provided with a plurality of articulation points (16) that are at least partially interconnected via a bar-type supporting frame (18) with individual bar elements (26, 30, 32, 36 and 40). Said supporting frame raises and supports the seat part (10) relative to the vehicle or cabin floor and eftects a displacement movement by means of an actuator device (20) in such a manner that the seat part (10) can be brought from an initial position (I) into at least one further position (II, III) and back.
