Abstract: A passenger seating arrangement includes at least one seat unit configurable into a disabled-access configuration in which an access opening is temporarily widened to enable a disabled passenger to access the seat unit. The seat unit is arranged with other seat units in a column, and each seat unit is configurable between a seating configuration and a flat-bed configuration. The seat units are arranged in an inwardly facing herringbone. A method of providing access for a disabled passenger to a seat unit includes temporarily widening an access opening.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to seating apparatus. In particular, the present application relates to an aircraft seat (1). The aircraft seat (1) includes a seat chassis (4) and a seat assembly (5). The seat assembly (5) has a seat pan (6) and a seat back (7). The seat pan (6) is mounted to the seat chassis (4) by a first pivoting connection (30) defining a seat pan pivot axis (Y1) about which the seat pan (6) pivots. The location of the seat pan pivot axis (Y1) is fixed relative to the seat chassis (4). At least one seat pan link (53-1) is provided for controlling pivoting of the seat pan (6) about said seat pan pivot axis (Y1). The at least one seat pan link (53-1) is coupled to the seat pan (6) in front of the seat pan pivot axis (Y1). The present disclosure also relates to an aircraft (2) including one or more of the aircraft seat (1).

Abstract: An aircraft seat including: a seat chassis; a seat assembly including a seat pan and a seat back; the seat pan being mounted to the seat chassis by a first pivoting connection defining a seat pan pivot axis about which the seat pan pivots, the first pivoting connection being configured such that the seat pan can pivot about the seat pan pivot axis without undergoing a related translational movement; the second pivoting connection defining a seat back pivot axis about which the seat back pivots; at least one seat pan link for controlling pivoting of the seat pan about said seat pan pivot axis; wherein the at least one seat pan link is coupled to the seat pan in front of the seat pan pivot axis; and at least one recline link connected to the seat back and the at least one seat pan link.

Abstract: A passenger seating arrangement for use in an aircraft cabin, the passenger seating arrangement comprising a column of seat units arranged in an inwardly facing herringbone. Each seat unit is configurable between a seating configuration and a flat-bed configuration. Each seat unit has an access opening for accessing the respective seat unit. At least one of the seat units is configurable into a disabled-access configuration in which an access opening is temporarily widened by moving part of a foot-receiving structure, for enabling a disabled passenger to access the seat unit.

Abstract: A passenger seating arrangement is disclosed including a column having multiplicity of pairs of seat units. Each seat unit is configurable between a seating configuration and a flat-bed configuration. Each pair of seat units comprises two inwardly facing seat units, each seat unit being angled at an acute angle and facing inwardly towards the aisle. Each pair of seat units may be associated with a dedicated entrance way, each entrance way being a shared entrance way for providing access to both of the seat units in that pair. The seat bodies of the seat units may be moveable between a private configuration, and a sharing configuration in which the seat bodies are substantially side-by-side. The seat bodies may be staggered may be such that there is an offset, in a lateral direction, between the seat body of the first seat unit and the seat body of the second seat unit.
