  • Patent number: 8845030
    Abstract: An airplane passenger seat device includes a seat part, which has a seat surface, a seat direction and a main body, which abuts an aisle in a installed state in a means of transportation and which, in a usage position, laterally covers the seat surface in a region that is lateral to the seat surface with respect to the seat direction. It is proposed that the passenger seat device has a bearing unit for moveably mounting the main body, which is provided to move the main body from the usage position into a release position by way of a movement relative to the seat surface, which causes the region lateral to the seat surface to be released.

  • Publication number: 20140031955
    Abstract: A connecting device, system and method for use in an industrial installation is disclosed, which includes at least one first industrial bus interface configured to receive first industrial bus input data and transmit first industrial bus output data using a first industrial bus protocol, and a second industrial bus interface configured to receive second industrial bus input data and transmit second industrial bus output data using a second industrial bus protocol. A modulator is configured to produce first energy bus output data by modulating the first industrial bus input data onto an industrial Ethernet protocol and configured to produce second energy bus output data by modulating the second industrial bus input data onto the industrial Ethernet protocol. An energy communicator is configured to transmit the first and second energy bus output data together as an energy bus output signal on the energy supply line using a carrier frequency method.

  • Patent number: 8075058
    Abstract: The invention relates to a seat, in particular, a vehicle or aircraft passenger seat with seat components such as a seat base (12), a backrest (14) and a coupling device (16) for coupling the movement of at least one part of the seat components between an exit (I) and at least one comfortable (II) position and vice versa. According to the invention, the coupling device (16) comprises at least one control piece, which may be controlled using the movement of the backrest (14) and/or the seat base (12) and hence by means of at least one further control piece to move the seat base (12) and/or the backrest (14) between said positions (I, II), whereby an adjustment, in particular, tilting movement of the backrest is linked with a simultaneous adjustment movement of the seat base which, preferably in the rearward transition region into the backrest descends by a given amount relative to the front edge of the seat which simultaneously moves forward to increase the seat depth.

  • Patent number: 7837261
    Abstract: A seat arrangement for an aircraft seat includes a seat frame for mounting the seat on a cabin floor and a seat region. The seat arrangement has a backrest unit and is designed to improve stiffness of the backrest unit against one-sided torsional load. The backrest unit is coupled to the seat frame by a kinematic unit having at least first and second kinematic parts coupled to a first side and a second side of the backrest unit, respectively. A stiffening member is located in the seat region that couples the first and second kinematic parts and is provided for transmitting a torsional moment from the first side of the backrest unit to the second side of the backrest unit.

  • Patent number: 7699390
    Abstract: In a seating system for passenger service vehicles, and for aircraft in particular, having a seat structure (19), a seat element, a backrest (5), an arm rest (7), and table element (1), the table element (1) is movable between a storage position and a use position. In the use position, the table element (1) faring a table surface (3). The table element (1) is pivotally connected to the seat structure (19, 27) by lever mechanism (23, 33), and a power drive (21) is provided, which is coupled to the lever mechanism (23, 33) to form an over-center mechanism. The power drive (21) pivots the table element (1) from the storage position into an intermediate position, which is defined by the over-center mechanism, and from the intermediate position into the use position after over-centering of the intermediate position has been overcome by application of a force to the table element (1).
