Abstract: In a seating system for passenger service vehicles, and for aircraft in particular, having a seat structure (19), a seat element, a backrest (5), an arm rest (7), and table element (1), the table element (1) is movable between a storage position and a use position. In the use position, the table element (1) faring a table surface (3). The table element (1) is pivotally connected to the seat structure (19, 27) by lever mechanism (23, 33), and a power drive (21) is provided, which is coupled to the lever mechanism (23, 33) to form an over-center mechanism. The power drive (21) pivots the table element (1) from the storage position into an intermediate position, which is defined by the over-center mechanism, and from the intermediate position into the use position after over-centering of the intermediate position has been overcome by application of a force to the table element (1).

Abstract: The invention relates to an armchair and table for conference halls and the like, comprising a backrest (3) that can be lowered over the seat (2) in combination with the movement of a table board (6) that can swivel between a vertical position and a horizontal position, the board (6) being on a column (5) with a variable height which is fastened on the structure of the armchair by means of a ball joint anchor (16), insofar as the board (6) can move forwards in the position for use, determining an antipanic arrangement.

Abstract: A stowable fold away seat for mounting to a support member of a vehicle wherein a space may be selectively provided for positioning a wheelchair or article adjacent to the stowed seat which includes a frame attached to the support member, two separate seatbacks and seatbases, which have been fixedly integrated with a centered support.

Abstract: A table supporting device is provided at an upper end thereof with a loop. The loop is hung on the headrest of the motor vehicle seat so that the table supporting device is positioned substantially vertically. The loop 9 is removable from the headrest. A plate-shaped table has a table holding mechanism. The table holding mechanism holds the table vertically rotatably by means of a horizontal shaft. The table holding mechanism is provided with a vertical hole. The vertical hole has a larger diameter than the table supporting device. The table supporting device is passed through the vertical hole of the table holding mechanism. A vertical bolt is threadedly engaged with the table holding mechanism. A lower end of the vertical bolt is in contact with a base portion of the table so as to maintain the table at a desired angle.

Abstract: Apparatus for a swiveling a tray mounted in the back of an aircraft seat. The apparatus has a tube oriented transverse to the seat back around which the tray swivels. A tray is pivotably attached to the tube. A pair of bushes protrude outward from each end os the tube. Each bush ends in a generally mushroom shaped protrusion which is set off by an adjacent undercut defining a stressing and guiding zone. An elastic spring contained within a housing is mounted on the aircraft. The mounted spring has upward directed Y-shaped openings sized to receive and engage the protrusion at the backlash elimination zone and engage the protrusions and the tube. This spring grips and hold the protrusions which secures the tube. This arrangement permits the tube and its attached tray to be quickly and easily attached or removed from the seat. A transmission element in the form of an extending arm is also pivotably attached to the tube.

Abstract: A foldable combined bench and table includes two spaced support frames each with a bottom rod for lying on a ground surface, and frontmost and rearmost posts for detachably mounting two bench seat members, and a leg member between the posts. A mounting frame is provided with a flat board member, and includes two spaced side rails, and rightmost and leftmost crossbars which interconnect the side rails to define a first axis and which are coupled with the leg members such that the leg members are pivoted about the first axis. Two linkage assemblies are mounted between the mounting frame and the support frames. Each linkage assembly includes upper and lower linking arms which are hinged to each other about a second axis parallel to the first axis, and which are respectively secured to the mounting frame and the corresponding leg member.

Abstract: An operator-interactive adjustable workstation including a support frame, a seat adapted for engagement with an operator, and a worksurface having an enlarged upper surface. A motion connecting structure connects between the frame, seat and worksurface for permitting the positions of the seat and worksurface to be simultaneously adjusted relative to the frame. An operator-interactive structure interconnects to the connecting structure for controlling position-adjusting movement of the seat and worksurface in response to an operator-imposed controlling force. A manually-releasable brake cooperates with the connecting structure for normally maintaining it in a fixed positional relationship to define stationary positions for the seat and worksurface.

Abstract: A hinge device for seats of public transport vehicles--especially airliners--adapted to allow the seat squab frame (2) to tilt relative to the seat cushion frame (3) about a tilt axis (4). The seat squab frame (2) is generally U-shaped with the web forming the top of the seat squab frame (2) and the sides forming the lateral edges (6) of the seat squab frame (2). The seat cushion frame (3) has a rear part (7) including two rear free ends (8). The tilt axis is horizontal and passes through the rear free ends (8) of the seat cushion frame (3) and the free ends (9) of the lateral edges (6) of the seat squab frame (2).

Abstract: A desk for use in automobiles is pivotally secured to a head rest of an automobile seat for selective angular adjustment. A pair of support arms are pivotally connected at one end to an elongated base secured to the head rest. A pair of cam locks secure the support arms for pivotal adjustment and maintain the arms in the selected adjusted position. A second pair of cam locks at opposite ends of the support arms pivotally mount a planar desk surface for selective angular adjustment. An elongated edge strip has a pair of spaced curved slots and is secured to a leading edge of the planar desk surface for movement to a raised or a lowered position. The desk is intended for use by back seat occupants of an automobile.

Abstract: A folding bench/table combination including two spaced apart leg assemblies, each including a horizontal, forwardly extending seat support member, a seat leg pivoted to the rear end of the seat support member, a table leg pivoted midway along its length to the front end of the seat support member, a table support member pivoted to the top of the table leg, and an adjuster pivoted to the table support member and extending to the pivot point of the seat support member and the table leg, and being operable to be secured in a plurality of positions to orient the table top as a table, or as the back of a bench, or in conjunction with the entire assembly being operable to be folded flat for compact stacking and storage.

Abstract: A device for enabling a pivotal arrangement of a tray or table top at a seat back or back portion of a passenger seat, especially a motor vehicle seat. The device is adapted to enable an adjustment of an inclination of the tray or table top as soon as the tray or table top has been pivoted into a substantially horizontal in-use position. The adjustment may be effected by toothed segments attached to the tray and back of the passenger seat or it is also possible for effecting adjusting by setscrew arrangements devised to press against a forward edge of the tray. The setscrew arrangements may be connected to one another by a drive or connecting belt so as to enable a simultaneous operation of the setscrew arrangements.
