Abstract
An airplane seat device having at least one backrest, at least one seat component coupled to the backrest and a backrest impact safety device which, by partially decoupling the backrest from the seat component, is provided to at least partly reduce impact forces on the backrest at least in the event of crash. The backrest impact safety device is provided to decouple the backrest from the seat component before the impact forces takes effect.
Claims15
An airplane seat device having at least one backrest, at least one seat component that is coupled to the backrest, and a backrest impact safety device which by way of partial decoupling of the backrest from the seat component is provided for at least partially reducing impact forces on the backrest at least in an event of a crash, wherein
- the backrest impact safety device is provided for decoupling the backrest from the seat component prior to the impact forces taking effect,
- the backrest impact safety device has at least one inertia module, which is provided for decoupling the backrest impact safety device at least in the event of a crash, and
- the backrest impact safety device comprises at least one knuckle joint, which, in a normal operating state, is provided for being coupled to the inertia module.
An airplane seat device having at least one backrest, at least one seat component that is coupled to the backrest, and a backrest impact safety device, which, by way of partial decoupling of the backrest from the seat component, is provided for at least partially reducing impact forces on the backrest at least in an event of a crash, wherein
- the backrest impact safety device is provided for decoupling the backrest from the seat component prior to the impact forces taking effect,
- the backrest impact safety device has at least one inertia module, which is provided for decoupling the backrest impact safety device at least in the event of a crash, and
- the backrest impact safety device comprises at least one knuckle joint that has at least one form-fitting element which, in a locked position, is provided for being connected to the inertia module in a form-fitting manner.
An airplane seat device comprising:
- at least one backrest;
- and
- at least one mounting unit, wherein
- the at least one backrest is disposed to be pivotable in relation to the mounting unit,
- the mounting unit is adapted to mount an aircraft seat, of which the backrest is a part, to a cabin floor,
- the airplane seat device has at least one seat component, which is coupled to the backrest, and a backrest impact safety device, which, by way of partial decoupling of the backrest from the seat component, is provided for at least partially reducing impact forces on the backrest at least in an event of a crash,
- the backrest impact safety device is provided for decoupling the backrest from the seat component prior to the impact forces taking effect, and
- by way of the partial decoupling of the backrest from the seat component, the backrest may rotate about a bearing point, by which the backrest is pivotally mounted.
