The invention relates to a seat arrangement for a means of transport, in particular for a means of passenger transport, wherein the seat arrangement can be arranged on the means of transport by means of a fastening device, wherein the seat arrangement is intended and suitable for providing a sitting position at standing height, wherein the seat arrangement comprises at least one frame element, which is arranged on the fastening device by means of at least one mounting shaft, wherein the at least one mounting shaft is received in at least one receiving device of the fastening device, wherein the at least one receiving device is arranged on a fastening element which is configured as an arm element extending along a height axis.

Described are adjustable seats having a lower portion of a back rest attached to a seat frame having an upper frame and a lower frame. A pivot axis is positioned at an upper end of the lower portion of the back rest, and an upper portion of the back rest is pivotally attached to the pivot axis. The location of the pivot axis is configured to be positioned below a person's shoulders when the person is seated in the adjustable seat. The upper portion of the back rest is also pivotally adjustable relative to the lower portion of the back rest. A seat pan having a front portion pivotally coupled to a rear portion can be attached to the upper frame. An actuation mechanism is configured to simultaneously control a vertical height of the upper frame and a rotational position of the front portion of the seat pan.

A seat system for a cabin of a transportation system includes a first seat unit, a second seat unit, and a rail system attachable to a floor of the cabin, having two rails that run parallel to each other, for receiving the seat units on selective positions. A line-up of a plurality of first seat units and at least one second seat unit on the rail system constitutes a seat arrangement. The first seat unit includes a seat frame having a seat cushion and a back cushion. The second seat unit includes a seat frame having a foldable seat cushion and a back cushion. The second seat frame includes two forward seat legs supported on two auxiliary rail segments that are arranged between the rails in a region. The forward seat legs are guidable underneath the seat cushion of a first seat unit arranged in front of it.

An interior aircraft light includes a mounting structure for mounting the interior aircraft light to an aircraft seat; a UV radiation source; and an optical system, configured to direct UV radiation from the UV radiation source towards a floor portion underneath the aircraft seat.

A base assembly for an aircraft seat is disclosed. The base assembly may include one or more leg sub-assemblies. Each leg sub-assembly may include a front leg, a rear leg, and a link beam configured to couple the front leg to a portion of the rear leg. At least one of the front leg or the rear leg being at least partially formed of a hybrid composite structure. The link beam being at least partially formed of the hybrid composite structure. The hybrid composite structure formed of at least a first material and a second material, where the first material is different from the second material, the first material including a thermoplastic material configured to provide ductility for the base assembly, the second material being a composite material configured to provide strength for the base assembly.

An inversion-formed double-walled tube includes an outer tube having an outer wall thickness, an inner tube disposed inside the outer tube and having an inner wall thickness, and a transition portion connecting the inner tube and the outer tube. In this arrangement, at least one of the inner and outer wall thicknesses varies along a length of the double-walled tube. The inversion-formed double-walled tube may be configured as an inversion tube type energy absorber and as an energy absorbing inversion tube assembly.

Described are base frame assemblies (10) for a passenger seat including a main frame (12) with a seat support structure (16) and a lateral support structure (18), wherein the lateral support structure (18) includes two seat fittings (28), and the seat support structure includes one seat fitting (30), and a secondary frame (14) pivotally coupled to the main frame (16), wherein the secondary frame (14) includes one seat fitting (50). A passenger seat (20) and a surrounding monument (26) are mounted to the base frame assembly (10).

A frameless transit seat is used for carrying passengers in a transit vehicle. The transit seat is comprised of at least two pedestals which connect the seating portion to the vehicle floor and which distribute the weight of the seat and its passenger(s). Under the passenger, at least two side supports are affixed on top of the pedestals, and one or more crossbars or stabilizers, without any rack frame structures connecting the pedestals. A variant of the transit seat has two seats and uses a mounting plate to connect the two inner side supports to a central pedestal. The components of the transit seat include hollow beams, bent sheet metal, and other components optimized to decrease mass while retaining maximum strength. Optionally, the seat may recline and be upholstered in a variety of covering options.

A receiving system for receiving of persons and objects for a cabin of a vehicle is proposed, the system comprising a seat frame having a plurality of receiving sections created on the seat frame for receiving of a seat unit each; a plurality of seat units, which are mountable on a receiving section each; and at least one stowage bin unit, which is mountable on one of the receiving sections. The stowage bin unit is dimensioned such that it is mountable on an outer one of the receiving sections in case on the remaining receiving sections a seat unit each is mounted.

A rack is made from a plurality of laminated layers. Each layer defines an alignment feature that allows all of the layers to be affixed to a base plate of an aircraft seat assembly and align the teeth of the rack to within five ten-thousandths of an inch. The rack includes a straight portion and a curved portion such that a pinion gear on the aircraft seat assembly can move the aircraft seat assembly along tracks with straight and curved portions.
