The jumpseat comprises a mounting structure provided with at least two arms having at least one degree of freedom to move in rotation about a stowage axis, said carrier structure being hinged to each arm by a pivot arrangement, said pivot arrangement being hinged to each arm about a folding axis, the folding and stowage axes being parallel to each other, said pivot arrangement giving the carrier structure at least one degree of freedom to move in rotation relative to the arms about an elevation axis.
Claims17
A jumpseat having a carrier structure, the carrier structure comprising at least one seat pan that is movable in rotation about a retraction axis, the jumpseat including a mounting structure for mounting the carrier structure on a wall, wherein the mounting structure comprises at least two mounting assemblies, each mounting assembly comprising an arm and a hinge for fastening to the wall, the hinge of a mounting assembly giving the arm of the mounting assembly at least one degree of freedom to move in rotation about a stowage axis, the carrier structure being hinged to each of said arms by a pivot arrangement, the pivot arrangement being hinged to each of said arms about a folding axis, the folding and stowage axes being parallel to each other, the pivot arrangement giving the carrier structure at least one degree of freedom to move in rotation relative to the arms about an elevation axis;
- each of said arms being movable in rotation about the corresponding stowage axis from a storage position seeking to retract the carrier structure, towards a utilization position that is reached in order to enable a person to sit on the carrier structure, the carrier structure being movable in rotation about the elevation axis from a first position to a second position at least when the arms are in their utilization positions, the carrier structure being movable in rotation through 180 degrees about the elevation axis from the first position towards the second position, the stowage axis being for arranging parallel to the wall.
