Abstract: The invention relates to an aircraft passenger seat, comprising a frame intended to be fastened to a floor of an aircraft passenger cabin, a seat base movably mounted on the frame, and a movably mounted seat back. The aircraft passenger seat is characterized in that at least one rail is fastened to the frame and in that the seat base is slidably arranged on the rail by means of guide elements.

Abstract: A seat system for a passenger aircraft. The seat system includes a passenger seat frame (i) a plurality of spreader bars and (ii) a plurality of laterally extending spar tubes connecting the plurality of spreader bars to one another and at least one canted leg assembly connected to the seat frame for attachment to fixed, spaced apart attachment points on a supporting surface of the passenger aircraft. The canted leg assembly includes: (i) a front leg portion including a front joint clamp for receiving one of the plurality of laterally extending spar tubes in a non-perpendicular attachment point; and (ii) an aft leg portion including an aft joint clamp for receiving another one of the plurality of laterally extending spar tubes in a non-perpendicular attachment point, whereby the seat system is adapted to be laterally positioned and attached to provide different spaced apart passenger seating configurations. A seat back tray table may be attached to the back of the passenger seat frame.

Abstract: Proposed is an air passenger seat having a frame which is provided for attaching to a floor of an aircraft cabin and a backrest which is pivotably or securely mounted on the frame by means of a rotation spindle, wherein the seat has a seat reference point (SRP) which is defined according to the SAE International Aerospace Standard AS8049. According to the invention, the rotation spindle of the backrest has, in a line parallel to the cabin floor and as seen parallel to the direction of flight, a separation n of less than 40 mm from the seat reference point.

Abstract: The invention relates to an aircraft passenger seat comprising components such as a seat part, backrest and at least one console that laterally delimits the seat part and forms an armrest. Said console comprises a receptacle for a tray (9), which has an articulated connection to the console by means of a positioning mechanism (11) and which can be displaced from an unused position, in which it lies flush with the console, into either a partitioning position, in which it is raised from the console and vertically extends the lateral delimitation of the seat part, or from said position into a horizontal position, in which it forms a table top. As the support for the tray (9), the positioning mechanism (11) comprises an arm (17), which is pivotally connected to the console about a first axis (21) and a second axis (27) that forms a right-angle with said first axis. The first axis (21) is fixed in the console and runs horizontally and perpendicularly to the main plane of the console.

Abstract: A table unit for seats in vehicles, especially airplane seats, includes a first table element (10) provided with the functions of a table, and a second table element (12) provided with at least one other table function. Both table elements (10, 12) can be rotated relative to each other about a first pivotal axis (14) by a hinge (18, 20), and can be fixed in a predetermined position. Various table functions can be integrated in a single table unit since both table elements (10, 12) can be rotated about a pivotal axis (16) by another joint (20, 22), and can be fixed in a predetermined position. The possible table surface and position thereof can be varied in such that certain table functions are protected and service personnel can have access to them.

Abstract: A fence plinth formed from sheet material, which in one embodiment is pre-painted galvanized steel, has spaced apart end margins and is profiled to include stiffening formations that extend along the sheet between the end edge margins. The plinth is ideally suited to be used in conjunction with a fence that incorporates fence post including channels in which the edge margin of the plinth can locate. A fence incorporating the plinth is also described together with a method of forming the plinths.

Abstract: A vehicle seat, especially for aircraft, includes a seat part (10) and a backrest (12) displaceable relative to each other by at least one adjustment device (14). The adjustment device (14) is provided with a plurality of articulation points (16) interconnected via a bar-type supporting frame (18) with individual bar elements (26, 30, 32, 36, and 40). The frame raises and supports the seat part (10) relative to the vehicle or cabin floor and effects a displacement movement by an actuator (28). The seat part (10) can be brought from an initial position (1) into at least one further position (II, III) and back. Depending on the number of articulation points and bar elements of the frame, the number of possible movements and the degree of freedom of movement of the seat part is substantially higher than in known systems. The seat part and the backrest can be safely positioned within a very wide range of adjustable positions.

Abstract: The invention relates to a table unit for seats in vehicles, especially airplane seats, comprising a first table element (10) which is provided with the functions of a table, and a second table element (12) which is provided with at least one other table function. Both table elements (10, 12) can be rotated in relation to each other about a first pivotal axis (14) by means of at least one hinge (18, 20) can be fixed in a predetermined position. It is possible to integrate various desired table functions in a single table unit as a result of the fact that both table elements (10,12) can be rotated about another pivotal axis (16) by means of another joint (20, 22) and can be fixed in a predetermined position. The possible table surface and position thereof can be varied in such a way certain table functions are protected and other service personnel can have access to them.

Abstract: A plane passenger seat has a storage compartment for a life vest and upholstery elements that improve the sitting comfort. The storage compartment is made up of at least one upholstery element. The life vest is received by the corresponding upholstery element as an integral part thereof. In this manner, the corresponding upholstery is replaced by the life vest so that the weight of the seat is reduced compared to conventional seats, thereby allowing potentially higher load capacities.
