A vehicle seat comprising a base, intended to be connected to the floor of the vehicle, a seating portion frame, hinged to the base so as to pivot about a transverse axis of the seat, a backrest hinged to the base so as to pivot about the transverse axis of the seat, hinge means connecting the seating portion frame to the backrest, configured so that the pivoting of the backrest relative to the base about the transverse axis causes the pivoting of the seating portion frame relative to the base about the transverse axis. The hinge means are also configured so as to connect the seating portion frame to the floor in order to move the front edge of the seating portion frame closer to or further away from the floor, the rear edge remaining fixed relative to the base.

A seating assembly includes a seat base operably coupled with a seatback. A panel assembly includes a first panel coupled with the seatback and a second panel hingedly coupled with the first panel. The second panel includes a connector assembly having a housing and a support slidably coupled with the housing. The second panel is movable between a first position and a second position. The second panel is vertically aligned with the first panel in the first position and is substantially coplanar with the first panel in the second position.

A stowable reversible seat for a vehicle includes a first member pivotally coupled to a floor for supporting a seat base, a second member releasably secured to the floor for supporting the seat base, and a seat back pivotally coupled to the first member. Components of the seat pivot between a folded configuration for stowing and a deployed configuration for seating. The orientation of the seat may be reversed for switching between a forward-facing direction and an aft-facing direction. A method of configuring a seat into an aircraft includes adapting a cabinet area to receive and conceal the seat, configuring a rail to make the seat slidable out from the cabinet area into an aisle, attaching a pivotable seat base on the seat, and pivotally mounting a supporting leg underneath a portion of the seat to secure the pivotable seat base in a substantially horizontal position.

A seat assembly for a vehicle, the assembly comprising a seat having a frame portion and a rigid control body coupled to the frame portion in a movable manner relative to the frame portion with at least four possible distinct movements, wherein the seat further has a backrest to support the back of a user and a base transversal to the backrest to support the lower limbs of the user, the backrest and the base each being independently rotatable around a pitch axis, the seat assembly comprising driving means configured to translate the seat along a first direction, translate the seat along a second direction distinct from the first direction, rotate the base and rotate the backrest in response to said four movements, respectively.

A vehicle seat comprising a base, intended to be connected to the floor of the vehicle, a seating portion frame, hinged to the base so as to pivot about a transverse axis of the seat, a backrest hinged to the base so as to pivot about the transverse axis of the seat, hinge means connecting the seating portion frame to the backrest, configured so that the pivoting of the backrest relative to the base about the transverse axis causes the pivoting of the seating portion frame relative to the base about the transverse axis. The hinge means are also configured so as to connect the seating portion frame to the floor in order to move the front edge of the seating portion frame closer to or further away from the floor, the rear edge remaining fixed relative to the base.

A vehicle seat includes cushion and a seatback coupled with the cushion. At least one of the seatback and the cushion includes a base body defining an internal cavity open on a side of the base portion and a secondary body slidably mounted with the base body so as to be extendible out of the internal cavity beyond the side of the base body and retractable at least partially within the cavity.

A movable partition system for a vehicle is provided. The movable partition system includes a body configured to be movably coupled to a cabin of the vehicle. The body is movable between at least a first position and a second position. The movable partition system includes a jumpseat coupled to the body so as to be pivotal about a first pivot axis and a second pivot axis. The jumpseat is pivotable about the first pivot axis and the second pivot axis to move between a first, stowed position and a second, use position. The first pivot axis is offset from the second pivot axis along a longitudinal axis of the jumpseat.

An extendible sofa has a base assembly, a slide out assembly and a seat assembly. The base assembly has a base assembly frame that forms a seat, and the base assembly frame has a guide. The slide-out assembly is slidably connected to the base assembly by way of the guide. The guide facilitates movement of the slide-out assembly between a compact position and an extended position in which the slide-out assembly extends out away from the base assembly to provide additional seating. The slide-out assembly has a seat guide. The seat assembly has a seat frame slidably connected to the seat guide, and the seat guide facilitates movement of the seat assembly between a stowed position in which the seat assembly is housed within the slide-out assembly and a seat position.
