Abstract: The invention relates to a seat, preferably an aeroplane seat, comprising a seat base (12) which can be positioned on the floor and seat components which are provided for each seat and are arranged on the seat base (12), such as a seat back (1) and a seating element (2) comprising a front region (3) and a rear region (4), said rear region being located at the point where the seating element joins the seat back (1). According to the invention, said seat back can be displaced from an upright position to an inclined position and vice versa, simultaneously adjusting the inclination of the seating element (2), the front region (3) of the seating element (2) essentially maintaining its height above the floor and the rear region (4) sinking as the seat back (1) increasingly inclines.

Abstract: The invention relates to a table unit for seats in vehicles, especially airplane seats, comprising a first table element (10) which is provided with the functions of a table, and a second table element (12) which is provided with at least one other table function. Both table elements (10, 12) can be rotated in relation to each other about a first pivotal axis (14) by means of at least one hinge (18, 20) can be fixed in a predetermined position. It is possible to integrate various desired table functions in a single table unit as a result of the fact that both table elements (10,12) can be rotated about another pivotal axis (16) by means of another joint (20, 22) and can be fixed in a predetermined position. The possible table surface and position thereof can be varied in such a way certain table functions are protected and other service personnel can have access to them.
