  • Patent number: 11007913
    Abstract: Vehicle seat fixed to the floor of a cabin of a vehicle and which is able to absorb the impact of a passenger seated behind. It comprises at least two uprights (20) per backrest, these being positioned substantially vertically and engaged via a lower end (30) in the fixed framework (32) of the seat in such a way as to be releasable through upward translational movement so that they can disengage upward under the effect of an impact on a rear face, and are mounted with the ability to rotate about at least one fixed axis of the fixed framework (32) so as to be able to pivot forwards after becoming disengaged. At least one deliberate mechanical weak link positioned between each upright (20) and the framework (32) blocks the translational movement of the upright below a determined force corresponding to the impact. Application to aircraft seats.

  • Patent number: 10717533
    Abstract: The invention relates to a vehicle seat, preferably multiple-seater, which is deformable at the centre thereof and makes it possible to respond to deformation stresses in the event of an accident, impact or crash. In the case of a three-seater seat, the seat is primarily formed by four legs (10), a central seat portion (12), two end seat portions (11) and three backrests (13). The seat portions are bordered by two side bars (18) and one front bar and one rear bar. The front and rear bars are each formed by a central bar (14) or (16) which is extremely flexible, while the end bars (15, 17) of the end seats (11) are extremely rigid. The invention can also be used in aircraft seats.

  • Patent number: 10278573
    Abstract: The invention relates to vision compensating spectacles comprising means of support (130, 140, 152) on a wearer's face and at least one optical subassembly (110, 120) mounted on the support means (130, 140, 152) opposite at least one of the wearer's eyes. The optical subassembly (110, 120) comprises three optical elements mounted on the support means in series along an optical axis: a first optical element of cylindrical power for a direction of gaze of the wearer along the optical axis, a second optical element of cylindrical power for the said direction of gaze and a third optical element of variable spherical power for the said direction of gaze. The first optical element and the second optical element are adjustable in rotation about the optical axis independently of one another.

  • Patent number: 9809139
    Abstract: The transport vehicle seat allows to avoid the violent collision of a passenger's head located on the seat placed behind and to dampen the violent forward rocking of this passenger, in case of a frontal collision of the transport vehicle. The seat includes a pivotably mounted fold-down element (10), such as a table, placed on the rear face of a seat back. It has blocking part (14) holding the fold-down element (10) in a substantially vertical position, blocking part (14) being able to break off during a collision applied to the fold-down element (10) and to allow the latter to go on rocking towards the back seat to which it is attached.
