Aircraft seat provided with a rack mounted on a deformable portion

Abstract

The present invention relates to an aircraft seat comprising: a guide rail (26); a rack (34); an actuator (30) provided with a gear (31); at least one connection portion (35) providing a mechanical connection between the guide rail (26) and the rack (34), characterized in that the connection portion (35) included a zone (36) of mechanical weakness and in that a first bearing element (37) and a second bearing element (38) are disposed on either side of the rack (34), such that, if the deformation of the seat generates a movement of the gear (31), said gear (31) or the corresponding shaft (32) comes into abutment against one of the bearing elements (37, 38) and in this way deforms the connection portion (35) along the zone (36) of mechanical weakness.
