Abstract: A cabin attendant seat for an aircraft, an aircraft monument comprising such a cabin attendant seat and an aircraft comprising such an aircraft monument. The cabin attendant seat is movable from a starting position into at least one end position. The cabin attendant seat includes at least one backrest element and two seat elements. Each of the two seat elements is movable relative to the at least one backrest element between a folded position and an unfolded position.

Abstract: A vehicle seat assembly includes a seat frame having a seat back and stadium-type seat base for movement between a seating position and a storage position to improve ease of entry to the vehicle area behind the vehicle seat. The vehicle seat assembly includes a swing assembly coupled to the seat back and configured to rotate the folded seat assembly around a substantially vertical axis. A single handle operation is included for unlatching the seat latches—the seat base automatically flips up—and pivoting the entire vehicle seat toward the interior of the vehicle to allow easy entry behind the vehicle seat.

Abstract: A seat assembly includes a frame operably attached to a vehicle. A seat bottom is operably attached to the frame. The seat bottom is repositionable between a seating position and a stowed position. A seat back is operably attached to the frame. The seat back is repositionable between a seating position and a stowed position. The seat back rotates about a longitudinal axis during repositioning of the seat back between the seating and the stowed positions. A method of repositioning the seat assemblies includes repositioning a seat bottom between a seating position and a stowed position, and repositioning a seat back between a seating position and a stowed position about a longitudinal axis. Another seat assembly includes a seat bottom operably attached to the frame with at least one pivoting link and at least one sliding link. The seat bottom is repositionable between a seating position and an elevated position.

Abstract: Exercise apparatus and process of adjusting the exercise apparatus. The exercise apparatus includes a basic frame, a bench unit, including a back part and a seat part, which is vertically adjustable on the basic frame between a sitting position and a lying position, and a curved guideway, including at least one substantially straight section, that is arranged to positionally adjust the back part. The process includes moving the bench unit so that the back part and the seat part are positionable between a lying position and a seated position. The back part is moved along a path defined by the curved guideway.

Abstract: A rear seat assembly (10) for providing additional cargo space capable of being moved from a seating position to a stored position or removed from a vehicle. The seat assembly (10) is comprised of a seat bottom (12) and a seat back (14) interconnected by a locking hinge (16). The seat bottom (12) includes a clevis (26), a support bracket (22) and a latch (20) for supporting the seat bottom (12) on a vehicle floor (24) when the seat assembly (10) is in the seating position. In addition, the clevis (26) allows the seat assembly (10) to be moved from the seating position to an upright folded position. A support shaft (28) is mounted to the clevis (26) and removably received in a support housing (34) mounted on the vehicle floor (24) to allow the seat assembly (10) to rotate to the stored position or be removed from the vehicle.

Abstract: A compactible, storable seating apparatus of the type which yields way to accommodate a wheelchair user. The apparatus has a seat bottom and seat back which rotate about a common axis to compact in a vertical position. The seat bottom and back are mounted to a common cantilevered beam which is pivotal about a single stanchion. The seating apparatus can be used in a conventional manner or can be easily pivoted about the stanchion to yield way to a wheelchair user.

Abstract: A storable seating unit for access by an individual in a wheelchair to seating in a stadium or arena which includes a pedestal, a seat bottom pivotally connected to the pedestal, a seat back pivotally mounted to one of the seat back and the pedestal, the pedestal including a mechanism for pivoting the seat bottom and seat back so as to define an open area for positioning of the wheelchair in a position occupied by the seat bottom and seat back prior to pivoting. The pedestal may include a longitudinal slot and a slide pivotally and slidably positioned therein and connected to said seat bottom and seat back for pivoting of the seat bottom and seat back and lowering thereof along the length of the slide.

Abstract: In a pivotable seat especially for a flight attendant in an aircraft, the backrest and the seat part are constructed to be pivotable together about an approximately vertical axis when the seat part is pivoted about an approximately horizontal axis into an upright position. The seat is secured to a carrying structure of the aircraft. The seat plate (25) and the backrest carrier plate (27) are milled parts. A spring is activated by tilting the seat part (2) into an upright position, whereby the seat 1 is biased into a recess (15) for storage. For pivoting the seat out of the use position into the recess (15) during non-use, only the locking of the seat part must be released and the seat part tilts itself into the vertical position, whereby the mentioned spring is activated for pivoting the seat into the recess (15) and locking it automatically in the recess.

Abstract: The improved assembly includes a jump seat with a raised back portion and a seat portion hinged thereto and spring raised automatic movement from a horizontal operative position to a raised stored position. The seat back portion holds such spring and is hinged to the vertical arm of an L-shaped wall bracket, which may contain a second spring so that when the seat portion is in the stored position, the seat can be controllably swung into a flat stored position against the wall bracket, which bracket is adapted to be secured to an airplane galley wall or the like. The horizontal portion of the bracket includes a raised post and recess with sloped walls easily releasably seating with and disengaging from the underside of the seat portion. The seat includes a fully adjustable safety belt array, having a pair of parallel vertical shoulder belts releasably separately hooked to a pair of transverse belts. The latter are each adjustable in length.
