  • Passenger seat with tip-up seat mounted on the rear side of the backrest
    Patent number: 7150498
    Abstract: A passenger seat for a conveyance, comprising a frame (2), which is fixed to a floor (3) of the conveyance (20), and a backrest (5), which is connected to the frame (2). On the rear of the backrest (5) is mounted a folding seat (7), which has a sitting portion (10), and which is mounted on the backrest (5), thus enabling the folding seat (7) to be tilted about a first axis of rotation (8) between a folded up position and a folded down position. The folding seat (7) has a frist eccentric portion (11), which is eccentric relative to the first axis of rotation (8). The frame (2) has a second eccentric portion (12) which is eccentric relative to a second axis of rotation (6). The backrest (5) is mounted on the frame (2), thus enabling it to be tilted about the second axis of rotation (6) between a rear position and a front position. The passenger seat (1) comprises a rod (15), whose end portions are hinged to the first eccentric portion (11) and the second eccentric portion (12) respectively.
