Universal rest seats
A passenger seat assembly includes a seat support and an immobile seat shell mounted on the seat support. The seat shell can include a bench and a backrest. The bench includes a forward edge, an aft edge, and a top surface extending between the forward edge and the aft edge. The backrest can be connected to the aft edge of the bench and can extend in an upward direction from the top surface of the bench. In some cases, the backrest includes an upright portion connected to the bench and angled at a first angle with respect to the top surface of the bench, and a resting portion connected to the bench and angled at a second angle with respect to the top surface of the bench.
Aircraft divan convertible into a bed
An aircraft divan includes a lateral bracket connecting between front and rear legs with lateral bracket front and rear ends, a first track defined by the lateral bracket between the lateral bracket front and rear ends, an upright, having upright top and bottom ends, a second track defined by the upright between the upright top and bottom ends, a seat pan having seat pan front and rear ends, the seat pan being slidingly connected to the first track adjacent to the seat pan rear end, and a backrest having backrest top and bottom ends, the backrest being slidingly connected to the second track adjacent to the backrest top end. The seat pan rear end is pivotably connected to the backrest adjacent to the backrest bottom end such that movement of the seat pan is transmitted to the backrest so as to move together between upright and berth positions.

Passenger restraint with integrated lighting
Present systems and methods are directed to a passenger restraining system, which includes a restraint and a locking mechanism, and a lighting system, which includes a variety of light sources. At least a portion of the variety of light sources is integrated with the restraint. Furthermore, the lighting system receives an indication of a configuration of the locking mechanism, executes a first light scheme via the plurality of light sources when the indication is of an unlocked configuration, and executes a second light scheme via the plurality of light sources when the indication is of a locked configuration.
Rail Vehicle Having a Passenger Area Equipped with a Perch Seat and Table Assembly
A rail vehicle is provided with an open passenger space equipped with a perch seat assembly. The perch seat assembly includes a perch seat, a table, and a transition portion joining the table to the perch seat. The table has a horizontal working surface which extends from a wall so that at least a portion of the table extends in front of the perch seat. The transition surface provides a continuous surface between the perch seat surface and the table surface so as to provide a smooth transition.
Seat support mechanism
A seat support mechanism including a leg pedestal (11), which is fixedly provided on a floor in the vicinity of a side wall (A), a moving pedestal (20), which is disposed under a top face part (12) of the leg pedestal (11) and is capable of being advanced/retracted in a direction orthogonal to the side wall A; an underframe (30) of the seat, which is disposed above the top face part (12) of the leg pedestal (11), and is turnably supported by a turning shaft (41) in the moving pedestal (20), the turning shaft (41) avoiding an interference with the top face part (12), and an interlocking mechanism (50), which interlocks turning and advancing/retracting of the underframe (30), in which, when the seat is turned together with the underframe (30), the interlocking mechanism (50) converts the turning motion of the underframe (30) into a linear motion and, through the turning shaft (41), transmits it to the moving pedestal (20), thereby causing the moving pedestal (20) and the underframe (30) to be advanced/retracted in a direction orthogonal to the side wall (A).

Seat with occupancy detection
The present invention relates to a seat (20), in particular for a vehicle, comprising a first sensor (32) arranged in order to generate a first electrical signal upon a user seating themselves on a seat (20) and upon the vacating of the seat (20) by the user. The seat (20) also comprises a second sensor (34) that is capable of generating a second electrical signal in a substantially continuous or repeated manner when the user is seated on the seat (20).
Seat arranged for enhanced sound perception via vibration
The invention relates to a seat arranged for enhanced sound perception via vibration including a padding and a sound reproduction assembly (20), which includes at least one vibration source (26), at least one elastic element (16, 21) and at least one frame structure (18, 22), which sound reproduction assembly is at least partially arranged inside the padding. The elastic element/-s (16, 21) are nonhomogenous element/-s and located in contact with the frame structure (18, 22) and the vibration source (26) and configured to provide elastically and mechanically tuned mounting and that the elastic element/-s are configured to create at least lateral vibration to the surface of the seat.
VEHICLE SEAT WITH IMPROVED STORAGE SPACE AND ASSOCIATED VEHICLE
The invention relates to a vehicle (10) seat (22), comprising: a seat bottom (26); a backrest (28) secured to the seat bottom (26), and at least one leg (32) supporting the seat bottom (26).
The leg (32) comprises at least three segments (44, 46, 48), including: a first segment (44) fastened to the lower face (40) of the seat bottom (26), a second segment (46) fastened to the floor (20, 21) of the vehicle (10), and a third segment (48) joining the first segment (44) and the second segment (46).
The third segment (48) is arranged so that the leg (32) defines a housing (50) between the seat bottom (26) and the floor (20, 21).
The housing (50) is able to accommodate at least one piece of carry-on luggage (52) such that it does not protrude by more than 100 mm from the front edge (34) or the rear edge (36) of the seat bottom (26).
