Abstract: There is provided a seat preventing the baggage or the like from being damaged. A leg rest strain gauge is provided on the bark surface of the leg rest frame on the proximal side. When a baggage is placed in the operating space of the leg rest in the bed position, and the leg rest is moved downward and is abutted against the baggage, the leg rest warps to form a convex on the upper surface in response to a reaction force from the baggage (a force in the direction opposite to the direction of the inclining movement of the leg rest). Therefore, the leg rest strain gauge expands, and thus the resistance and the gauged voltage value exceed the inclining direction determination value and the stoppage determination value. Consequently, the operation of the motor is stopped and the further downward movement of the leg rest is stopped. Therefore, the leg rest is prevented from pressurizing the baggage unnecessarily, thereby preventing the baggage from being damaged.

Abstract: A personal transportation seat, in particular for aircraft passengers, includes individually adjustable seat parts (3, 7).

Abstract: A moveable baggage restraint seat, is composed of a row of seat, two side restraint rods and a major restraint rod. An article accommodation space under above-said seat can accommodate baggage inside it and two sides of the seat each also arranges with a pivotal axis. The above-said two side restraint rods each has a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is pivotally connected to the pivotal axis of two sides of the seat and each second end is connected to two ends of the major restraint rod. Because the two side restraint rods are pivotally connected to two sides of the seat and connected with two ends of the major restraint rod to form a movable baggage restraint rod, when the baggage restraint rod is rotated under the seat, the baggage restraint rod may restrict the baggage under the seat. When the baggage restraint rod is rotated above the seat, the baggage can be taken out and it is more convenient to clean the floor under the seat.
