Abstract: An airline seatbelt arrangement (10) includes an airline seat frame (5) with a seat base (3) connected to the airline seat frame (5). The seat base has a cushion upper surface (30). A seatbelt retractor (11) is connected to the seat frame (5). A seatbelt retractor (11) has a seatbelt (20) with a seatbelt tongue (12) connected to the seatbelt (20). A seatbelt guide (36, 36?, 36?, 35, 35?, 35?) is connected to the seat base. The seatbelt guide guides the seatbelt and seatbelt tongue from a retracted position to a deployed position within an angular range relative to the seatbelt connection location, whereby the seatbelt and seatbelt tongue may be positioned in the angular range relative to the cushion upper surface in the deployed position. The seatbelt guide may include a recess formed in the seat base and extending from a seatbelt retractor location to the cushion upper surface.

Abstract: An automotive seat has a seat back and a seat bottom that are movable between a seating configuration and a work desk configuration. When moving from the seating configuration to the work desk configuration, the seat bottom pivots forwardly into a generally vertical orientation and the seat back pivots downwardly into a generally horizontal orientation. The seat bottom supports an end of the seat back when the seat bottom and the seat back are in the work desk configuration. The back surface of the seat back faces upwardly to provide a work surface when the seat bottom and the seat back are in the work desk configuration. Sufficient space is provided beneath the seat back when in the work desk configuration to accommodate a person's legs underneath the seat back.
