A seating assembly provides direct aisle access for each seat in a row by employing a seat angling with respect to a cabin centerline. The seat angling opens up an area behind each seat back. Seat density may be increased by staggering the seats such that the opened area behind a forward row may be used to provide an armrest for a passenger in a next row. Seat density may be even further increased by overlapping the assemblies (as seen facing the seat) such that: the armrest for the forward row seat overlaps the legroom of the next row seat.

An arrangement of individual seats intended to be installed in a cabin of an aeroplane includes at least one assembly of two seats turned towards the interior in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the arrangement. An end assembly includes a first seat and a second seat, each seat being convertible between a sitting position and a recumbent position in which the seat defines a bed surface. An intermediate element includes a surface, referred to as the intermediate surface, located in the same plane as the bed surfaces of the first seat and of the second seat, such that the bed surfaces of the first seat and of the second seat as well as the intermediate surface form a common bed surface.

A seat arrangement of a passenger cabin includes at least two seat groups. The at least two seat groups are arranged consecutively between two passenger aisles running parallel to a longitudinal direction of the passenger cabin and each have two outer seat units and just one central seat unit. The seat units are set in a seating configuration. A central seat unit of at least one of the at least two seat groups is arranged offset with respect to at least one of the outer seat units of the same seat group in the longitudinal direction of the passenger cabin, as a result of which each seat unit has obstacle-free access to at least one cabin aisle.

A seating arrangement for a cabin of a passenger aircraft that includes 5-abreast passenger accommodation suites, each including a privacy wall and a seat movable between a seating position and a lie-flat bed position, and adapted to be laterally positioned in the aircraft cabin in respective adjacent outboard, middle and inboard positions. Three of the suites are adapted to be positioned in a longitudinally-offset position in relation to each other and defining respective ingress/egress paths to a cabin aisle extending along a longitudinal axis of the aircraft cabin adjacent the third suite. Two of the suites are positioned in a longitudinally-offset position in relation to each other and defining respective ingress/egress paths on the opposite side of the cabin aisle. At least some of the suites define an angular offset relative to the longitudinal axis of the cabin aisle.

The present invention relates to an arrangement of individual seat units intended to be installed in particular in an aircraft cabin, characterized in that a console of a seat unit of a given row is arranged in the vicinity of a seat of a seat unit of the other row so as to define a space for stowing and/or placing objects, and in that said arrangement has access passages for access to a traffic aisle, an access passage being delimited at least in part on the one hand by a shell of a seat unit of the second row and on the other hand by an adjacent console of a seat unit of the second row, in such a way that each access passage allows direct access to the traffic aisle (14) for a passenger of a seat belonging to the first row.

A passenger seat (10) with a sitting area (40), a side ottoman (42), an open space (44) that may be enclosed via use of a bed extension (50), and a backrest (14). The backrest may be divided into an upper portion and a lower portion. The seat may also be provided with one or more storage areas and/or a side console.

The present invention relates to an assembly of individual seats intended to be installed in an aircraft cabin, the assembly comprising: —a first seat and a second seat, a central console arranged between the first seat and the second seat, the central console comprising a first foot area and a second foot area extending in two opposite directions, —a seat surface width of the first seat being smaller in a portion of the seat opposite the second foot area in relation to a width of a portion of the seat surface opposite the first foot area so as to increase a space between the seat surface of the first seat and the second foot area.

The invention relates to a passenger module (M) for a vehicle cabin (3), in particular an aircraft cabin, comprising two seats (1, 2) arranged between a first side element (FE) and a second side element (SE), wherein the first side element (FE) and the second side element (SE) extending parallel to each other, the seats (1, 2) are arranged substantially one behind another and facing substantially in a same direction, wherein a front seat (1) is positioned angled by a predefined first angle (α) around its vertical axis (sz) in a direction towards the first side element (FE), and
a rear seat (2) is positioned angled by a predefined second angle (β) around its vertical axis (sz′) in a direction towards the second side element (SE). Further, the invention relates to a passenger seating arrangement (PA) for a vehicle cabin (3).

A seat system for a passenger aircraft. The seat system includes a passenger seat frame (i) a plurality of spreader bars and (ii) a plurality of laterally extending spar tubes connecting the plurality of spreader bars to one another and at least one canted leg assembly connected to the seat frame for attachment to fixed, spaced apart attachment points on a supporting surface of the passenger aircraft. The canted leg assembly includes: (i) a front leg portion including a front joint clamp for receiving one of the plurality of laterally extending spar tubes in a non-perpendicular attachment point; and (ii) an aft leg portion including an aft joint clamp for receiving another one of the plurality of laterally extending spar tubes in a non-perpendicular attachment point, whereby the seat system is adapted to be laterally positioned and attached to provide different spaced apart passenger seating configurations. A seat back tray table may be attached to the back of the passenger seat frame.

A conventional passenger vehicle has a lower deck and an upper deck on both sides of its aisle to double its seating areas. Each deck has ceiling and seat heights about the same as that in sedans, and hence without substantially increasing the vehicle height. Both decks are divided into seating sections with partition walls, and in a seating section each deck contains only a row of power reclining seats. Each seat has a power footrest mounted separately on the partition wall in front of the seat for sitting comfort and forming a bed with the seat. The footrest can also be placed to higher elevations to use as a table for eating or working. The footrest is stored vertically to allow more leg room for the seat. In some section of the vehicle each seating section may mount two rows of sitting-only seats to increase the vehicle capacity.
