The support system comprises a frame and structural surface material connected to the frame. The soft surface material is at least partially disposed above the support system, and the support system is configured to support an applied load.

Provided is a conveyance seat with which the assemblability of a wire member with respect to a seat frame can be improved. A conveyance seat includes a seat frame. The seat frame has: a pair of side frames arranged in side portions of the conveyance seat; and a cross-linking frame cross-linking the pair of side frames, a wire member is disposed between the pair of side frames, the cross-linking frame has a wire receiving portion receiving the wire member, and the wire member is fastened to the wire receiving portion.

A seat cushion structure capable of adjusting softness and hardness, comprising a cushion sponge (1), a wheel-spoke seat inner housing (2), a seat sponge (3) and a seat outer housing (4), which are sequentially disposed from top to bottom; a coil spring (11) is fixedly provided on the wheel-spoke seat inner housing (2); an adjustment handle (5) is provided outside the seat outer housing (4), an adjustment mechanism is connected to the adjustment handle (5) and provided inside the seat outer housing (4); the adjustment mechanism is also connected to the coil spring (11), configured for adjusting contraction radius of the coil spring (11); the adjustment mechanism is capable of adjusting contraction radius of the coil spring (11) since being controlled by the adjustment handle (5), thereby the softness and hardness of the seat cushion structure is adjusted.

A seating device, in particular a flight passenger seating device, includes at least one seat bottom unit and with a backrest unit that is connected to the seat bottom unit, wherein at least the backrest unit is positionable in a comfort position and in a further sitting position. The comfort position is implemented as a base position that is optimized for a passenger comfort.

A vehicle seat in which a net structure may be attached easily to a frame while ensuring rigidity of the seatback frame. In the vehicle seat, a net structure is drawn within a seat frame. The seat frame includes: a net frame in which the net structure is drawn, a receiving frame formed integrally with the seat frame, and a fastening mechanism that fastens the net frame to the receiving frame.

Various examples for controlling sway of a furniture that is suspended in a vehicle are disclosed herein. In addition to the suspended furniture, the vehicle can include sway control devices operatively connected to the suspended furniture. The sway control devices can be connected to the suspended furniture via sway lines. The sway control devices can be controlled to adjust the rates that the sway lines are let out or retracted. As a result, the vehicle can control how much the suspended furniture sways.

A vehicle seat includes: a seat frame; a seat pad; and a planar body configured to support, from a backside, the seat pad, and including a high-elongation part more easily extensible than other planar-body part. The planar body includes a low-density region, a high-density region, and a medium-density region in which constituent yarns are placed more thickly than the low-density region, but more thinly than the high-density region, the medium-density region being provided between the low-density region and the high-density region adjacent to each other. The low-density region is placed in the high-elongation part so that the high-elongation part is easily extensible. The high-density region and the medium-density region are placed in the other planar-body part so that the other planar-body part is less easily extensible. The medium-density region in the other planar-body part is adjacent to the high-elongation part.

Passenger seat assemblies including net backrests are described. An example passenger seat assembly can include a lower frame (14) configured to support a seat bottom (36) of the passenger seat. The passenger seat assembly can also include a backrest frame (18) attached to the lower frame (14) and configured to support a backrest assembly. The backrest assembly can include a backplate (16) disposed adjacent an aft side of the backrest frame (18). The backrest assembly can also include a net material (22) attached to the backplate (16) at a first attachment location (46a) on an aft surface of the backplate (16), extending around a forward side of the backrest frame (18), and attached to the backplate (16) at a second attachment location (46b) on the aft surface.

Described are lightweight headrests with a perimeter frame 200 with an open central region. The open central region is spanned by a suspension membrane 100 held in tension. The suspension membrane provides support and cushioning functions to a passenger head without the need for internal structures or compression cushions. The perimeter frame of the headrest may have additional cross members spanning the rear portion of the headrest. These cross members may provide additional structure or locate attachment points for the headrest onto the seat.
