An aircraft is disclosed with an aircraft divan that comprises a back rest, an upright side rest extending from the back rest and forming a side of the aircraft divan, and a seat rest having a first seat section connected to the back rest and a second seat section displaceable translationally relative to the first seat section between a first position and a second position, a gap defined between the first seat section and the second seat section in the first position to receive therein legs of a seated occupant between the first and second seat sections, and the first and second seat sections being adjacent one another to close the gap and form an elongated sitting surface in the second position. A method of adjusting such aircraft divan is also provided.

In one or more embodiments, the present invention provide a versatile travel pillow that provides support to the user's head, neck, and shoulders, prevents the user from sliding sideways with respect to the seat, can be quickly and easily secured to the headrest or armrest of a seat or chair, and can be quickly and easily moved from one vehicle seat to another.

A seat assembly includes a seat cushion configured to support an individual, a backrest coupled to the seat cushion, a headrest coupled to the backrest, and one or more stabilization systems coupled to one or both of the backrest or the headrest. The one or more stabilization systems is moveable between a normal position and a stabilizing deployed position configured to stabilize a position of one or both of a head or a torso of the individual.

A headrest assembly for a seat, such as an aircraft pilot seat, including a headrest and a headrest tilt mechanism. The tilt mechanism includes a headrest support, a casing fixed to the headrest support defining a rotation limiter feature determining a full aft headrest position and a full forward headrest position, a driven gear rotatably disposed in the casing, a driver gear rotatably disposed through an axial opening formed though the driven gear, an engaging feature for urging against the headrest, and an actuator for rotating the driver gear. The driven gear and the driver gear have a predetermined gear tooth reduction ratio and a predetermined axial shift distance such that the two gears are arranged in a profile shifted configuration.

A vehicle seat including: a seat back; a seat pan; and one or more side support elements is disclosed. Each side support element is moveable with respect to the seat back between: a stowed configuration, in which the side support element is stowed flush with, or is stowed within or behind the seat back; and a deployed configuration, in which the side support element extends outwardly from the seat back, generally in the same direction that the seat back faces, so as to offer support to the side of a vehicle user sitting in the vehicle seat. A row of two or more such vehicles seats is also disclosed, in which all of the seats of the row face in the same direction, and adjacent seats within the row are connected to each other.

An aerial workstation which comprises a seat having a sitting portion, a backrest that is connected by a first articulation that allows the backrest to pivot relative to the sitting portion, and an arm configured to position the seat in various positions and orientations in space as required. The aerial workstation makes it possible to be able to translate the seat in a cockpit in an introduction direction, and to make it pivot about a pivot axis that coincides with the direction of introduction within the cockpit.

The invention relates to a seat, in particular for an aircraft, including: a seat support, a seat base, a backrest hinged relative to the seat base by means of a pivot link, a leg rest hinged relative to the seat base by means of a pivot link, the seat being able to move between a sitting position and a bed position in which the backrest and the leg rest are situated in a continuation of the seat base, the seat base being mounted so as to be able to slide relative to the seat support, the seat comprising at least one connecting rod, referred to as the backrest pivot connecting rod, comprising a first end connected in rotation relative to the backrest and a second end connected in rotation relative to the seat support, the leg rest being mechanically connected to the backrest by means of a connecting rod deployment device, the seat further comprising a single actuator capable alone of moving a set of components of the seat formed at least by the seat base, the backrest, and the leg rest in order to move the seat from its sitting position to its bed position and vice versa.

A reversible seat assembly for use with an airplane. The reversible seat comprises a base assembly and a vertical assembly. The base assembly and the vertical assembly are connected to a support structure and are collectively disposable into and out of a first travel position, a second travel position, and a third travel position. In the first and second travel positions a user or passenger may assume a usual sitting position. In the third travel position the user may assume a reverse sitting position. The base assembly comprises a right segment and a left segment connected and rotationally movable to a central segment. The vertical assembly comprises a lower segment and an upper segment connected to and rotationally movable a middle segment. The reversible seat assembly may further comprise a back armrest connected to an opposite side of said middle segment and structure to provide support to the arms of the user.

A headrest assembly for a seat, such as an aircraft pilot seat, including a headrest and a headrest tilt mechanism. The tilt mechanism includes a headrest support, a casing fixed to the headrest support defining a rotation limiter feature determining a full aft headrest position and a full forward headrest position, a driven gear rotatably disposed in the casing, a driver gear rotatably disposed through an axial opening formed though the driven gear, an engaging feature for urging against the headrest, and an actuator for rotating the driver gear. The driven gear and the driver gear have a predetermined gear tooth reduction ratio and a predetermined axial shift distance such that the two gears are arranged in a profile shifted configuration.

An armrest assembly for a passenger seat is disclosed. The armrest assembly may be disposed in a stowed, collapsed or passenger configuration where the armrest assembly is of a first length, and also may be disposed in an extended or cargo configuration where the armrest assembly is of a second length that is greater than the first length. Such an armrest assembly may be used to convert all or a portion of a passenger compartment (e.g., of an aircraft) to a cargo compartment by disposing a plurality of armrest assemblies in their respective extended/cargo configuration. Any appropriate cargo may be disposed on/supported by one or more armrest assemblies in their extended/cargo configuration. A free distal end or distal end portion of each armrest assembly in its extended configuration may be anchored to/supported by an appropriate structure, such as an adjacent passenger seat or a bracket(s) attached to a wall.
