Passenger seat for aircraft
A passenger seat for an aircraft has a fixed seat portion with a front facing toward a first direction of the aircraft. The fixed seat portion has a centerline spaced equally from opposed lateral sides of the fixed seat portion. A first engagement member extends upwardly from the front at the centerline to a first engagement end. A moveable seat portion is mounted onto the fixed seat portion and is displaceable relative thereto. The moveable seat portion has a second engagement member extending downwardly from a front of the moveable seat portion to a second engagement end. The second engagement member is displaceable with the moveable seat portion to position the second engagement end under the first engagement end in an engagement position such that the overlapping first and second engagement ends prevent the moveable seat portion from pitching in a second direction opposite to the first direction.
PASSENGER SEAT WITH SUPPORT STRUCTURE INCLUDING OFFSET STRUTS
A passenger seat for an aircraft, including a bottom support configured to be connected to a floor of the aircraft, a seat pan frame, and a support structure interconnecting the seat pan frame to the bottom support, the support structure including a front support member pivotally connected to a front end of the seat pan frame, the front support member including a respective strut on each side of the seat pan frame, each respective stmt having a bottom end rigidly connected to the bottom support and an opposed top end located under the seat pan frame, the bottom end being inwardly, downwardly and rearwardly offset with respect to the top end.
RECLINABLE PASSENGER SEAT
A reclinable passenger seat including a base, a seat pan frame having a front end connected to the base via a first fixed pivot, a support arm having one end connected to the base via a second fixed pivot aft of the first fixed pivot, and a backrest frame having an upper backrest member and a lower backrest member. An opposed end of the support arm is pivotally connected to the lower backrest member at a first location spaced from the upper backrest member. A rear end of the seat pan frame is pivotally connected to the lower backrest member at a second location between the first location and the upper backrest member. The backrest frame and seat pan frame are configured to move simultaneously between a sitting configuration and a reclined configuration through pivoting motion about the fixed pivots and about the two locations.
PASSENGER SEAT WITH SUPPORT STRUCTURE DEFINING EMPTY SPACE
A passenger seat includes a bottom support to be connected to the aircraft floor, a seat pan frame, and a support structure interconnecting the seat pan frame to the bottom support. A front support member defines a frontmost portion of the support structure, and has a top end connected to a front end of the seat pan frame and a bottom end connected to the bottom support. The front end of the seat pan frame is forwardly offset from a front end of the bottom support and the top end of the front support member is forwardly offset from its bottom end such that an empty space is defined across a width of the seat between the seat pan frame and the floor, forwardly of the support structure, forwardly of the bottom support, and rearwardly of a vertical plane aligned with the front end of the seat pan frame.
Vehicle seat and method for controlling sitting position using the same
A vehicle seat is configured to adjust a position of a seat cushion by a multi-bar link provided at each of both sides of the seat cushion, where the multi-bar link includes one seat cushion frame of a plurality of seat cushion frames forming both side frames of the seat cushion, and front and rear links pivotably connected to the respective front and rear of the one seat cushion frame. The vehicle seat includes a drive device configured to rotate the multi-bar link such that an end of the front link connected to the one seat cushion frame is lifted up and an end of the rear link connected to the one seat cushion frame is simultaneously moved down.
SEAT ADJUSTMENT MECHANISM FOR A VEHICLE SEAT, AND VEHICLE SEAT
A seat adjustment mechanism for a vehicle seat is provided. The mechanism may have a number of first pairs of rails, where each first pair of rails has an upper rail and a lower rail. The mechanism may also have a number of second pairs of rails with a substantially same acting direction as the number of first pairs of the pairs.
Seating arrangements in a vehicle
Various seating arrangements for a vehicle are described. Generally, the vehicle includes an electromagnetic array featured on a floor of the vehicle. The chair includes base having a plurality of magnets featured thereon. The vehicle generates signals for the electromagnetic array to generate a wave and impart a force on the chair in a determined direction via the plurality of magnets.
Vehicle seat having an adjusting device and vehicle having such a vehicle seat
A vehicle seat has a seat base, a carriage, and an adjusting device. The adjusting device is formed in such a way that the vehicle seat is adjustable vertically or the inclination is adjustable by the adjusting device. The adjusting device has a rotation device arranged on the carriage such that the seat base is rotatable relative to the carriage about a vertical axis by the rotation device. The adjusting device includes a strut, a first end of which is pivotably attached to the carriage or to a rotation base fixed to the carriage and a second end of which is pivotably attached to the seat base. The adjusting device has first and second linear actuators. The seat base is supported on the first linear actuator, the second linear actuator, and/or the strut. The first and second linear actuators cooperate to adjust the vehicle seat.
VEHICLE SEAT AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING SITTING POSITION USING THE SAME
A vehicle seat is configured to adjust a position of a seat cushion by a multi-bar link provided at each of both sides of the seat cushion, where the multi-bar link includes one seat cushion frame of a plurality of seat cushion frames forming both side frames of the seat cushion, and front and rear links pivotably connected to the respective front and rear of the one seat cushion frame. The vehicle seat includes a drive device configured to rotate the multi-bar link such that an end of the front link connected to the one seat cushion frame is lifted up and an end of the rear link connected to the one seat cushion frame is simultaneously moved down.
Vehicle seat
A vehicle seat including a seat cushion including a cushion body that supports buttocks of an occupant, and cushion side portions disposed on both seat width direction sides of the cushion body, a seatback including a back body that supports a back of the occupant, and back side portions disposed on both seat width direction sides of the back body, and an adjustment mechanism including at least one of a cushion adjustment mechanism that on actuation moves the cushion body in a seat up-down direction with respect to the cushion side portions and pivots the cushion body about an axis running along the seat width direction, or a back adjustment mechanism that on actuation moves the back body in a seat front-rear direction with respect to the back side portions and pivots the back body about an axis running along the seat width direction.
