  • Seat structure having an adjustable seat back and support shelf especially for accommodating parachute packs
    Patent number: 4437629
    Abstract: A seat structure includes a flexible canvas seat bottom portion (14) and a flexible canvas seat back portion (12). A horizontally disposed, transversely extending beam member (58) is rotatably disposed above the seat bottom portion (14) and is operatively connected to the lower end of the seat back portion (12). The beam member (58) is movable between two positions 90.degree. apart such that when the beam member (58) is disposed in its first position, the beam member (58) effectively defines a support shelf or platform projecting forwardly of the seat back portion (12) and is therefore capable of supporting parachute packs borne by parachuting personnel seated within the seat structure. The seat back portion (12) is also disposed in a slackened state at such time so as to accommodate the depth of the parachute packs.
