[0033] FIGS. 1 to 8 show a train seat layout 10 according to the invention. The train seat layout 10 is part of a passenger compartment 12 according to the invention. The passenger compartment 12 is part of a train car 14. The train seat layout 10 is configured to be arranged in the passenger compartment 12 of the train car 14. The train car 14 comprises two opposite-situated lateral side panels 16, 18. The side panels 16, 18 form longitudinal walls of the train car 14. The side panels 16, 18 delimit the passenger compartment 12 laterally. The lateral side panels 16, 18 preferably comprise window panes, which are not illustrated in detail. The train car 14 has a floor 20. The floor 20 of the train car 14 forms a floor of the passenger compartment 12. The floor 20 forms a mounting plane of the passenger compartment 12. The passenger compartment 12 forms an aisle 22. The aisle 22 of the passenger compartment 12 is realized as a central aisle. The aisle 22, which is realized as a central aisle, is arranged centrally between the two lateral side panels 16, 18. The train car 14 forms a train car middle axis 24. The train car middle axis 24 is a longitudinal axis of the train car 14. The train car middle axis 24 runs parallel to the lateral side panels 16, 18. The aisle 22 is arranged parallel to, preferably coaxially with, the train car middle axis 24. The train seat layout 10 comprises two longitudinal seat rows 26, 28. The longitudinal seat rows 26, 28 are respectively arranged on a side of the aisle 22 in the passenger compartment 12. The first longitudinal seat row 26 is arranged on a first, left-hand side of the aisle 22. The second longitudinal seat row 28 is here arranged on a second, right-hand side of the aisle 22.

[0034] The train seat layout 10 has a first direction 76. The first direction 76 is realized as a first direction of the passenger compartment 12, in particular of the train car 14. The first direction 76 runs parallel to the train car middle axis 24. The first direction 76 runs in a horizontal plane which is oriented parallel to the floor 20. The first direction 76 of the train seat layout 10 faces towards a first end of the passenger compartment 12, respectively of the train car 14, i.e. is oriented towards the first end of the passenger compartment 12, respectively of the train car 14. The first direction 76 is oriented towards a front end of the train car 14. The train seat layout 10 has a second direction 78. The second direction 78 is realized as a second direction of the passenger compartment 12, in particular of the train car 14. The second direction 78 runs parallel to the train car middle axis 24. The second direction 78 runs in a horizontal plane which is oriented parallel to the floor 20. The second direction 78 of the train seat layout 10 faces towards a second end of the passenger compartment 12, respectively of the train car 14, i.e. is oriented towards the second end of the passenger compartment 12, respectively of the train car 14. The second direction 78 is oriented towards a rear end of the train car 14. The second direction 78 is opposed to the first direction 76. The second direction 78 is rotated by 180 degrees with respect to the first direction 76. The first direction 76 and the second direction 78 are configured to define orientations of objects in the train seat layout 10 in more detail.

[0035] The train seat layout 10 comprises a first train seat module 30. The train seat layout 10 comprises a second train seat module 32. The second train seat module 32 is arranged neighboring to the first train seat module 30. The first train seat module 30 and the second train seat module 32 are arranged directly next to each other in the one longitudinal seat row 26. In the train seat layout 10 shown by way of example in FIGS. 5 and 6, three further train seat modules 34, 36, 38 are provided in the one longitudinal seat row 26 of the train seat layout 10. In principle, it would also be conceivable that the train seat layout 10 comprises a different number of train seat modules 30, 32, 34, 36, 38, wherein the train seat layout 10 comprises at least the two train seat modules 30, 32. The further train seat modules 34, 36, 38 are realized substantially in the same manner as the train seat modules 30, 32, which will be described in detail below. A detailed description of the further train seat modules 34, 36, 38 may be gathered from the following description of the train seat modules 30, 32.

[0036] The first train seat module 30 comprises a passenger seat 40. The first train seat module 30 at least partially delimits a passenger zone for a passenger. The passenger seat 40 is configured to provide a seating for a passenger. The passenger seat 40 is arranged in the passenger zone of the train seat module 30. The passenger seat 40 comprises a seat bottom 42 and a backrest 44. The passenger seat 40 comprises a mounting unit, which is not illustrated in detail and via which the passenger seat 40 is mounted on the floor 20. The seat bottom 42 and the backrest 44 are mounted on the mounting unit. The passenger seat 40 is adjustable between an upright sitting position and at least one comfort position. The passenger seat 40 is realized as a lying-down seat. The passenger seat 40 may be adjusted from the sitting position into a lying-down position. In the lying-down position, the passenger seat 40 forms a lying-down surface. In the lying-down position, the seat bottom 42 and the backrest 44 form a lying-down surface. It is conceivable that the backrest 44 and the seat bottom 42 are inclined relative to each other in the lying-down position and do not form a completely planar lying-down surface. The passenger seat 40 is preferably realized as a full-flat seat. The passenger seat 40 realized as a full-flat seat is configured to form a substantially planar lying-down surface in a lying-down position. The passenger seat 40 realized as a full-flat seat is configured to provide a planar lying-down surface with a bed length of at least 170 cm. The seat bottom 42 and the backrest 44 of the passenger seat 40 are arranged parallel to each other in the lying-down position and together form the lying-down surface. The passenger seat 40 preferably comprises a leg support element 46. The leg support element 46 is arranged pivotably at a front end of the seat bottom 42. The mounting unit comprises an actuator module, which is not illustrated in detail and via which the elements of the passenger seat 40 mounted on the mounting unit, such as the seat bottom 42, the backrest 44 and the leg support element 46, are adjustable between their sitting position and their lying-down position. For this purpose, the actuator module comprises several actuators, which are preferably electronically controllable. The passenger seat 40 is electronically adjustable between its upright sitting position and its comfort position and its lying-down position. In principle, it is also conceivable that the passenger seat 40 is manually adjustable. For this purpose, it would in particular be conceivable that the passenger seat comprises one or several manually actuatable actuators, such as for example gas compression springs, which in an unactuated state fix the passenger seat 40 in a current position and in an actuated state permit an adjusting movement of the passenger seat 40. Herein an adjustment of the passenger seat 40 between its sitting position and its comfort position or its lying-down position would be brought about by an adjusting force exerted by a passenger onto the passenger seat 40. The passenger seat 40 further comprises a headrest 48. The headrest 48 is connected in an upper region of the backrest 44 of the passenger seat 40.

[0037] The train seat module 30 comprises an enclosure unit 50. The enclosure unit 50 at least partially delimits the passenger zone of the train seat module 30 behind and laterally of the passenger seat 40. The enclosure unit 50 is realized by an enclosure element 52. The enclosure element 52 forms a partition wall. The enclosure unit forms a separating unit which delimits the passenger zone of the train seat module 30 to the rear and laterally. The enclosure element 52 extends, from a region behind the passenger seat 40, in each case as far as a region laterally of the passenger seat 40. The enclosure element 52 of the enclosure unit 50 has a V-shaped basic shape. The enclosure element 52 extends from a region close to the ground up to a height level above the backrest 44 of the passenger seat 40 in an upright sitting position. In this way the enclosure element 52 forms a visual protection behind the passenger seat 40, which extends as far as above the backrest 44. In this way the enclosure element 52 creates an especially advantageous delimitation with respect to a remaining portion of the passenger compartment 12. The enclosure element 52 comprises a rear wall region, which is arranged behind the backrest 44 of the passenger seat 40 and is oriented substantially parallel to the backrest 44, i.e. to a transverse direction of the passenger seat 40. The enclosure element 52 has two side wall regions. The side wall regions delimit the enclosure unit 50 laterally. The side wall regions in each case extend from a lateral end of the rear wall region to the front into a region laterally of the passenger seat 40. The side wall regions are oriented obliquely relative to each other. Viewed from the rear wall region, the side wall regions of the enclosure element 52 extend away from each other frontwards. The side wall regions of the enclosure element 52 include an opening angle which converges behind the passenger seat 40.

[0038] The enclosure element 52 preferably forms armrests 54, 56 in its side wall regions. Herein the armrests 54, 56 may preferably be formed at least partially by the enclosure element 52. Preferably the armrests 54, 56 in each case comprise a cushion element cushioning a support surface of the armrests 54, 56. In principle, it is also conceivable that the armrests 54, 56 are realized separately from the enclosure element 52. Furthermore, the first train seat module 30 advantageously comprises a lighting element 58, which is arranged on an inner side of the enclosure element 52. The lighting element 58 may be realized, for example, as a reading lamp.

[0039] The second train seat module 32 comprises a passenger seat 60. The second train seat module 32 at least partially delimits a passenger zone for a passenger of the train seat module 32. The passenger seat 60 is configured to provide a seating for a passenger. The passenger seat 60 is arranged in the passenger zone of the second train seat module 32. The passenger seat 60 comprises a seat bottom 62 and a backrest 64. The passenger seat 60 comprises a mounting unit, which is not illustrated in detail and via which the passenger seat 60 is mounted on the floor 20. The passenger seat 60 is realized as a lying-down seat. The passenger seat 60 is adjustable from the sitting position into a lying-down position. In the lying-down position, the passenger seat 60 forms a lying-down surface. The passenger seat 60 is preferably realized as a full-flat seat. The passenger seat 60 of the second train seat module 32 is realized substantially in the same manner as the passenger seat 40 of the first train seat module 30. Therefore the passenger seat 60 of the second train seat module 32 will not be described in detail here. The description of the passenger seat 40 of the first train seat module 30 can be applied accordingly. The second train seat module 32 comprises an enclosure unit 66. The enclosure unit 66 at least partially delimits the passenger zone of the train seat module 32 behind and laterally of the passenger seat 60. The enclosure unit 66 is realized by an enclosure element 68. The enclosure element 68 forms a partition wall. The enclosure unit 66 of the second train seat module 32 is likewise realized in a manner equivalent to the enclosure unit 50 of the first train seat module 30.

[0040] The train seat layout 10 comprises a table unit 70. The table unit 70 is arranged between the first train seat module 30 and the second train seat module 32. The table unit 70 is arranged on a side-panel side. The table unit 70 is arranged in a proximity of the first lateral side panel 16. Preferably the table unit 70 is directly connected to the first lateral side panel 16. The table unit 70 is fixedly mounted to the side panel 16 by means of a screw connection. In principle, it is also conceivable that the table unit 70 is connected to the side panel 16 in a different way in a force-fitting, materially-bonded and/or form-fitting manner. In principle, it is also conceivable that the table unit 70 is mounted on the floor 20 of the train car 14 in a proximity of the side panel 16, via a support structure. The table unit 70 is arranged centrally between the passenger seats 40, 60 of the two train seat modules 30, 32. Measured parallel to the train car middle axis 24, the table unit 70 has an equal distance to a center point of the passenger seats 40, 60 of the two train seat modules 30, 32 between which the table unit 70 is arranged, in particular when they face towards the table unit 70. Viewed in the first direction 76, the table unit 70 is arranged after the passenger seat 40 of the first train seat module 30. Viewed in the first direction 76, the table unit 70 is arranged in front of the passenger seat 60 of the second train seat module 32. Viewed in the second direction 78, the table unit 70 is arranged in front of the passenger seat 40 of the first train seat module 30. Viewed in the second direction 78, the table unit 70 is arranged behind the passenger seat 60 of the second train seat module 32. The table unit 70 comprises a table base body 72. The table base body 72 forms a main table surface 74 of the table unit 70. In a top view, the table base body 72 essentially has a trapezoid shape. A larger side of the table base body 72 faces towards the side panel 16. A narrow side of the trapezoid-shaped table base body 72 faces away from the side panel. In principle, it would also be conceivable that in a top view the table base body 72 essentially has a triangle shape.

[0041] The passenger seats 40, 60 of the train seat modules 30, 32 are configured to be pivotable between a first seat position, which is oriented in the first direction 76, and a second seat position, which is oriented in the second direction 78. The passenger seats 40, 60 of the train seat modules 30, 32 can be oriented in the first seat position, which is oriented in the first direction 76m and in the second seat position, which is oriented in the second direction 78. The passenger seats 40, 60 of the train seat modules 30, 32 can be locked in the first seat position and in the second seat position. In a seat position oriented in the respective direction 76, 78, the passenger seat 40, 60 has an overall orientation in this direction 76, 78. A backrest 44, 64 of the respective passenger seat 40, 60 is generally oriented in the respective direction 76, 78 in a first seat position, respectively in a second seat position. A sitting direction of the respective passenger seat 40, 60 is generally oriented in the respective direction 76, 78 in a first seat position, respectively in a second seat position. The sitting direction of the respective passenger seat 40, 60 has in the first seat position a component in the first direction 76. The sitting direction of the respective passenger seat 40, 60 has in the second seat position a component in the second direction 78. Herein the passenger seats 40, 60 are in the first sitting direction, respectively in the second sitting direction, not oriented parallel to the first direction 76, respectively the second direction 78. The sitting directions of the passenger seats 40, 60 are in the seat positions respectively arranged obliquely relative to the directions 76, 78. The sitting directions of the passenger seats 40, 60 are in the seat positions not oriented parallel to the respective direction 76, 78.

[0042] The passenger seats 40, 60 of the train seat modules 30, 32 are mounted pivotably on the floor 20 of the passenger compartment 12. The passenger seats 40, 60 of the train seat modules 30, 32 are preferably pivotably connected to the floor 20 via their mounting unit. The passenger seats 40, 60 of the train seat modules 30, 32 can be adjusted between their two seat positions via their mounting unit. For this purpose, the mounting units of the passenger seats 40, 60 preferably in each case comprise an adjustment mechanism. The passenger seats 40, 60 of the train seat modules 30, 32 are adjustable in an adjusting movement between the first seat position and the second seat position. The adjusting movement via which the passenger seats 40, 60 of the train seat modules 30, 32 are adjustable between the two seat positions is preferably realized as a rotational movement. Preferably the adjusting movement is realized as a purely rotational movement. The adjusting movement that is realized as a rotational movement rotates the corresponding passenger seat 40, 60 around a rotation center situated in a region below the passenger seat 40, 60. Preferably the rotation center, around which the corresponding passenger seat 40, 60 is rotated during the adjusting movement, is situated in a seat center of the corresponding passenger seat 40, 60. In principle, it is also conceivable that during an adjustment between their two seat positions, the passenger seats 40, 60 of the train seat modules 30, 32 are pivoted around an eccentric rotation axis that is situated outside the passenger zone. Moreover, it is also conceivable that an adjusting movement of the passenger seats 40, 60 of the train seat modules 30, 32 between the seat positions is realized as a combined movement comprising at least a rotation and a linear displacement. For example, it would be conceivable that firstly the respective passenger seat 40, 60 is linearly traversed backwards from its one seat position, is then rotated around a corresponding rotation axis and after this is linearly traversed forward into its other seat position. The corresponding adjusting mechanism of the mounting units of the passenger seats 40, 60 comprises corresponding rotary bearings and/or linear bearings, for example guide rails, for an adjustment of the passenger seats 40, 60 between the seat positions.

[0043] The passenger seats 40, 60 of the train seat modules 30, 32 are configured to be pivoted between their first seat position and their second seat position by an angle that is in an angle range of 90 degrees to 135 degrees. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the angle by which the passenger seats 40, 60 are pivoted between their first seat position and their second seat position is 120 degrees. In their seat positions the passenger seats 40, 60 of the train seat modules 30, 32 respectively include an angle with the train car middle axis 24. The passenger seats 40, 60 have the angle relative to the train car middle axis 26 with their seat middle axes, respectively their seat directions. In their seat positions, the passenger seats 40, 60 of the train seat modules 30, 32 preferably include an angle of 120 degrees. In their first seat position and in their second seat position the passenger seats 40, 60 of the train seat modules 30, 32 respectively include at least an angle having the same absolute value with respect to the train car middle axis 24. In their seat positions, the passenger seats 40, 60 of the train seat modules 30, 32 are in each case configured to be oriented towards a side-panel side. In their seat positions, the passenger seats 40, 60 of the train seat modules 30, 32 are in each case oriented towards the corresponding side panel 16. In the seat positions, a sitting direction of the passenger seats 40, 60 of the train seat modules 30, 32 respectively points towards the corresponding side panel 16. The enclosure units 50, 66 of the train seat modules 30, 32 are in each case fixedly coupled with the respective passenger seat 40, 60. During an adjustment between the first seat position and the second seat position, the enclosure units 50, 66 are also pivoted with the corresponding passenger seat 40, 60.

[0044] The passenger seats 40, 60 of the train seat modules 30, 32 are in each case lockable in their seat positions. The passenger seats 40, 60 of the train seat modules 30, 32 are lockable in their seat positions in an operationally safe manner. For an adjustment of the passenger seats 40, 60, first of all a corresponding adjusting mechanism must be unlocked. Preferably, an adjusting mechanism of a passenger seat 40, 60 is only unlockable by authorized staff. For this purpose, suitable safety measures, such as suitable locks or electronic safety mechanisms, are preferably provided. In principle, it would also be conceivable that an adjusting mechanism of a passenger seat 40, 60 can also be unlocked by a passenger. For example, a simple lever mechanism could be provided for an unlocking, respectively locking, of the adjusting mechanism of the respective passenger seat 40, 60.

[0045] The passenger seat 40 of the first train seat module 30 in its first seat position directly faces towards the table unit 70 for use. In its first seat position, in which it is oriented in the first direction 76, the passenger seat 40 of the first train seat module 30 is directly oriented towards the table unit 70. In its first seat position, the passenger seat 40 that is directly oriented towards the table unit 70 for use is oriented with its sitting direction directly towards the table unit 70. In the first seat position of the passenger seat 40 of the first train seat module 30, the table unit 70 is arranged directly in front of the passenger seat 40. A passenger sitting on the passenger seat 40 of the first train seat module 30 can directly use the table unit 70 in the first seat position of the passenger seat 40.

[0046] In its second seat position, the passenger seat 60 of the second train seat module 32 directly faces towards the table unit 70 for use. In its second seat position, in which it is oriented in the second direction 78, the passenger seat 60 of the second train seat module 32 is oriented directly towards the table unit 70. In its second seat position, the passenger seat 60 that is directly oriented towards the table unit 70 for use is oriented with its sitting direction directly towards the table unit 70. In the second seat position of the passenger seat 60 of the second train seat module 32, the table unit 70 is arranged directly in front of the passenger seat 60. A passenger sitting on the passenger seat 60 of the second train seat module 32 can directly use the table unit 70 in the second seat position of the passenger seat 60.

[0047] The passenger seat 40 of the first train seat module 30 in its first seat position and the passenger seat 60 of the second train seat module 32 in its second seat position form a conjoint seat group 80. As a conjoint seat group 80, the passenger seat 40 of the first train seat module 30 in its first seat position and the passenger seat 60 of the second train seat module 32 in its second seat position face towards one another. It is advantageously possible that passengers sitting on the two passenger seats 40, 60 of the two train seat modules 30, 32, which form a conjoint seat group 80, travel together facing towards one another. The table unit 70 arranged between the two train seat modules 30, 32 can be used from both passenger seats 40, 60 of the conjoint seat group 80. It is possible that passengers on both passenger seats 40, 60 of the train seat modules 30, 32, which are combined to form a seat group 80, use the table unit 70 together. The conjoint seat group 80 is at least partially delimited from a remaining portion of the passenger compartment 12 by the two enclosure units 50, 66 of the two train seat modules 30, 32. When combined to form the conjoint seat group 80, the passenger zones of the two train seat modules 30, 32 form a conjoint group passenger zone.

[0048] The table base body 72 comprises a first table front edge 82, which is oriented at least substantially orthogonally to the passenger seat 40 of the first train seat module 30 in its first seat position. The first table front edge 82 faces towards the passenger seat 40 of the first train seat module 30 in its first seat position. The table base body 72 has a second table front edge 84, which is oriented at least substantially orthogonally to the passenger seat 40 of the first train seat module 30 in its second seat position. The second table front edge 84 faces towards the passenger seat 60 of the second train seat module 32 in its second seat position.

[0049] The table unit 70 comprises a first adjustable table element 86, which is arranged at the table base body 72. The first adjustable table element 86 is adjustable into a use position towards the passenger seat 40 of the first train seat module 30 in its first seat position. The adjustable table element 86 can be stowed at the table base body 72 of the table unit 70 in a stowage position. Preferably the first adjustable table element 86 can be stowed in a region below the table base body 72 in a stowage position. In principle, it is also conceivable that the adjustable table element 86 can be folded onto an upper side of the table base body 72 and there in its stowage position at least partially forms a table surface. The first adjustable table element 86 is arranged in a region of the first table front edge 82. The first adjustable table element 86 is configured to enlarge in a use position the table surface of the table unit 70 towards the passenger seat 40 of the first train seat module 30 in its first seat position.

[0050] The table unit 70 comprises a second adjustable table element 88, which is arranged at the table base body 72. The second adjustable table element 88 is adjustable into a use position towards the passenger seat 60 of the second train seat module 32 in its second seat position. The adjustable table element 88 can be stowed at the table base body 72 of the table unit 70 in a stowage position. The second adjustable table element 88 is arranged in a region of the second table front edge 84. The second adjustable table element 88 is configured to enlarge in a use position the table surface of the table unit 70 towards the passenger seat 60 of the second train seat module 32 in its second seat position. The second adjustable table element 88 is realized substantially in the same manner as the first adjustable table element 86.

[0051] The train seat layout 10 comprises a foot support element 90. The foot support element 90 is arranged below the table unit 70. The foot support element 90 is configured to provide a foot support region for the passenger seats 40, 60 of the first and second train seat modules 30, 32. The foot support element 90 is arranged below the table unit 70 at a distance. An intermediate space between the foot support element 90 and the table unit 70 is realized as a foot space. The foot support element 90 forms an ottoman for the two passenger seats 40, 60 of the train seat modules 30, 32 in the corresponding seat positions. The foot support element 90 forms an upholstered foot support region. The foot support element 90 forms a foot support region which is shared by both passenger seats and is preferably realized without separation. Preferably, there is no separating element provided which separates a foot support region for the passenger seat 40 of the first train seat module 30 from a foot support region for the passenger seat 60 of the second train seat module 40. In principle, however, a partial separation of the two foot support regions by a preferably adjustable separating element would be entirely conceivable. In a lying-down position of the passenger seats 40, 60 of the train seat modules 30, 32, the foot support element 90 is configured to respectively supplement the lying-down surface of the passenger seats 40, 60. In their lying-down position, the passenger seats 40, 60 of the train seat modules 30, 32 together with the foot support element 90 respectively form their lying-down surface, which in each case has a bed length of at least 170 cm, preferably 180 cm and particularly preferentially of more than 185 cm.

[0052] The train seat layout 10 comprises a further table unit 92. Viewed in the second direction 78, the further table unit 92 is arranged after the first train seat module 30. The further table unit 92 is arranged on a first side of the first train seat module 30. The further table unit 92 is arranged on a side of the first train seat module 30 that is situated opposite the first table unit 70. The further table unit 92 is arranged on a side-panel side. The further table unit 92 is arranged in a proximity of the first lateral side panel 16. Preferably the further table unit 92 is directly connected to the first lateral side panel 16. The train seat layout 10 further comprises a further foot support element, which is not illustrated in detail and which is arranged below the further table unit 92.

[0053] If the passenger seat 40 of the first train seat module 30 is in its first seat position oriented in the first direction 76, the further table unit 92 is arranged behind the passenger seat 40 of the first train seat module 30. In this position of the passenger seat 40 of the first train seat module 30, the further table unit 92 cannot be used from the passenger seat 40. The passenger seat 40 of the first train seat module 30 in its second seat position directly faces towards the further table unit 92 for use. The further table unit 92 is realized substantially in the same manner as the first table unit 70 that has been described. The further table unit 92 comprises a table base body. The table base body of the further table unit 92 has a first table front edge, which is oriented at least substantially orthogonally to the passenger seat 40 of the first train seat module 30 in its second seat position. The first table front edge of the further table unit 92 faces towards the passenger seat 40 of the first train seat module 30 in its second seat position. Viewed in the first direction 76, the further table unit 92 is realized as a first table unit in the longitudinal seat row. It is therefore principally conceivable that the further table unit 92 has an at least partly different shape, for example only a triangle shape, wherein the further table unit 92 has only one table front edge, which faces towards the passenger seat 40 of the first train seat module 30 in its second seat position.

[0054] The train seat layout 10 comprises a stowage and/or deposition unit 108. The stowage and/or deposition unit 108 is arranged laterally next to the passenger seat 40 of the train seat module 30 and is configured to be attached on a side-panel side. The stowage and/or deposition unit 108 provides a stowage region and/or a deposition surface. The stowage and/or deposition unit 108 is arranged between the first table unit 70 and the further table unit 92. The stowage and/or deposition unit 108 is connected to the side panel 16.

[0055] The train seat layout 10 comprises a further table unit 94. Viewed in the first direction 76, the further table unit 94 is arranged after the second train seat module 32. The further table unit 94 is arranged on a second side of the second train seat module 32. The further table unit 94 is arranged on a side of the second train seat module 32 that is situated opposite the first table unit 70. The further table unit 94 is arranged on a side-panel side. The further table unit 94 is arranged in a proximity of the first lateral side panel 16. Preferably the further table unit 94 is directly connected to the first lateral side panel 16. The train seat layout 10 moreover comprises a further foot support element, which is not illustrated in detail and which is arranged below the further table unit 94.

[0056] If the passenger seat 60 of the second train seat module 32 is in its second seat position oriented in the second direction 78, the further table unit 94 is arranged behind the passenger seat 60 of the second train seat module 32. In this position of the passenger seat 60 of the second train seat module 32, the further table unit 94 cannot be used from the passenger seat 60. The passenger seat 60 of the second train seat module 32 in its first seat position directly faces towards the further table unit 94 for use. In its first seat position, the passenger seat 60 of the second train seat module 32 directly faces towards the further table unit 94. The further table unit 94 is realized substantially in the same manner as the first table unit 70 that has been described. The further table unit 94 comprises a table base body. The table base body of the further table unit 94 has a first table front edge, which is oriented at least substantially orthogonally to the passenger seat 60 of the second train seat module 32 in its first seat position. The first table front edge of the further table unit 94 faces towards the passenger seat 60 of the second train seat module 32 in its first seat position. The further table unit 94 is arranged between the second train seat module 32 and the neighboring train seat module 34. The table base body of the further table unit 94 has a second table front edge, which is oriented at least substantially orthogonally to a passenger seat of the further, third train seat module 34 in its second seat position. The second table front edge of the further table unit 94 faces towards the passenger seat of the further, third train seat module 34 in its second seat position. The further table unit 94 is configured to be used from the passenger seat 60 of the second train seat module 32 and/or from the passenger seat of the further, third train seat module 34. The passenger seat 60 of the second train seat module 32 and the passenger seat of the further, third train seat module 34 can be oriented to form a conjoint seat group, wherein the further table unit 94 is configured for joint use.

[0057] In the exemplary embodiment shown, the train seat layout 10 comprises three further table units 96, 98, 100 in the first longitudinal seat row 26. On each side of a train seat module 30, 32, 34, 36, 38 respectively one of the table units 70, 92, 94, 96, 98, 100 is arranged. In each seat position of each passenger seat 40, 60 of each of the train seat modules 30, 32, 34, 36, 38, respectively one of the table units 70, 92, 94, 96, 98, 100 is arranged for use in front of the corresponding passenger seat 40, 60. If two neighboring train seat modules 30, 32, 34, 36, 38 are combined to form a conjoint seat group 80, the table unit 70, 94, 96, 98 arranged between them can be used jointly from both passenger seats 40, 60. The train seat layout 10 comprises per longitudinal seat row 26, 28 respectively one table unit 70, 92, 94, 96, 98, 100 more than train seat modules 30, 32, 34, 36, 38. Due to the rotatable arrangement of the passenger seats 40, 60 of the train seat modules 30, 32, 34, 36, 38 between their first seat positions and their second seat positions and to the arrangement of respectively one table unit 70, 92, 94, 96, 98, 100 on each side of a train seat module 30, 32, 34, 36, 38, it is possible for the train seat modules 30, 32, 34, 36, 38 to be oriented in an advantageously simple manner as an individual train seat module 30, 32, 34, 36, 38 for an individual passenger, or to be combined to form a seat group 80 in which respectively two neighboring train seat modules 30, 32, 34, 36, 38 can jointly use the table unit 70, 94, 96, 98 that is arranged between them. Preferably, between two table units 70, 92, 94, 96, 98, corresponding stowage and/or deposition units 108 are respectively attached on a side-panel side.

[0058] The train seat layout 10 comprises at least two further train seat modules 102, 104 and a table unit 106, which are arranged on a second side of the aisle 20 and face towards the second side panel 18. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the train seat layout 10 comprises five further train seat modules 102, 104 and six further table units 106. For reasons of clarity, not all of these are provided with reference numerals in the figures. The further train seat modules 102, 104 and table units 106 form the second longitudinal seat row 28 of the train seat layout 10. The further train seat modules 102, 104 and table units 106 of the second longitudinal seat row 28 are realized identically to the above-described train seat modules 30, 32, 34, 36, 38 and table units 70, 92, 94, 96, 98, 100, therefore they will not be described in detail here. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the two longitudinal seat rows 26, 28 comprise identical numbers of train seat modules 30, 32, 34, 36, 38, 102, 104 and table units 70, 92, 94, 96, 98, 100, 106. In principle, however, it is also conceivable that the two longitudinal seat rows 26, 28 respectively comprise different numbers of train seat modules 30, 32, 34, 36, 38, 102, 104 and table units 70, 92, 94, 96, 98, 100, 106.

[0059] An alternative implementation of the table unit 70 is illustrated in FIG. 8. In the alternative implementation of the table unit 70, the table unit 70 has an extendable table base body 72. The extendable table base body 72 is movably connected on a side-panel side. The table base body 72 is extendably fastened to the side panel 16. The extendable table base body 72 is configured to be traversed in a transverse direction of the passenger compartment 14 between a retracted position and a deployed position. The table base body is displaceable in the transverse direction in the direction of the arrow shown in FIG. 8. Here the table base body 72 is shown in the deployed position in FIG. 8. In the deployed position, the table base body 72 is traversed with its table front edges 82, 84 into a proximity in front of the passenger seats 40, 60 of the train seat modules 30, 32. In the retracted position, the table base body 72 is arranged in a manner equivalent to the position of the firmly fixed implementation illustrated in FIG. 7. The table unit 70 comprises a bearing unit, which is not illustrated in detail and via which the table base body 72 is adjustably supported. The bearing unit is preferably realized as a linear bearing unit. The table base body 72 is lockable in the retracted position and in the deployed position. For locking, the table unit 70 comprises a locking unit, which is not illustrated in detail. In principle, it would also be conceivable that the table base body 72 of the table unit 70 is steplessly lockable in any position between the retracted position and a maximally deployed position.

[0060] Furthermore, it is alternatively also conceivable that the table base body 72 of the table unit 70 is not adjustable and in principle has a basic shape as illustrated in FIG. 8. The table base body 72 of the table unit 70 herein comprises, on a side-panel side, a rectangular subregion in which the table base body 72 extends away from the side panel 16 in the transverse direction. The above-described triangular or trapezoid basic shape of the table base body 72 adjoins the rectangular subregion. In such an implementation, a distance between the passenger seats 40, 60 of the train seat modules 30, 32 would have to be increased relative to the above-described implementation with a smaller table unit.
