Abstract
New seat support for a public transport vehicle and seat equipped with this support. The invention relates to a seat support for a public transport vehicle, intended to be mounted overhung on a side wall of this vehicle. As seen in section through a vertical plane perpendicular to the sidewall, the framework of this support has a generally C-shaped cross-section. The upper branck of the C is intended to serve as a base for a seat, the lower branch of the C rests on the floor of the vehicle and is fixed to the latter, and the verticle part of the C, which joins the branches together, is designed to bear against the side wall of the vehicle and to be fixed to the latter.
Claims14
A seat support for a public transport vehicle, intended to be mounted overhung on a side wall of this vehicle, wherein the seat support comprises a framework and, as seen in section through a vertical plane perpendicular to the said wall, the framework of this support has a generally C-shaped cross section, including
- an upper branch to serve as a base for a seat,
- a lower branch to rest on the floor of the vehicle and to be fixed to the latter, and
- a vertical part joining the upper and lower branches together, and being designed to bear against the side wall of the vehicle and to be fixed to the latter;
- each of the upper and lower branches having a generally flat planar shape, the upper and lower branches being parallel to each other;
- the framework being adapted to be positioned adjacent the side wall of the vehicle, with the vertical part of the framework extending along said side wall, and with the upper and lower branches longitudinally extending away from the sidewalk of the vehicle and transversely extending in a direction parallel to said side wall;
- and
- the upper branch having a first, generally uniform transversely extending width, the lower branch having a second, generally uniform transversely extending width, and said second width being at least as great as said first width.
A seat support for a transport vehicle having a floor and a side wall, the seat support comprising a frame including:
- an upper branch to serve as a base for a seat;
- a lower branch to rest on, and to be fixed to, the floor of the vehicle;
- and
- a vertical part joining together the upper and lower branches, and to bear against and to connect the seat support to the side wall of the vehicle;
- and
- a support strut obliquely extending between the upper branch and a lower portion of the vertical part to help support the upper branch of the seat support;
- wherein a bottom surface of the upper branch defines a recessed transverse groove, and the support strut is fitted into the groove and extends downward therefrom into contact with the lower portion of the vertical part.
In a transport vehicle having a floor and a side wall, a seat support comprising a framework including:
- an upper branch to serve as a base for a seat;
- a lower branch resting on and fixed to the floor of the vehicle;
- a vertical part joining together the upper and lower branches, and bearing against and connected to the side wall of the vehicle;
- wherein each of the upper and lower branches has a generally flat, planar shape, and the upper and lower branches are parallel to each other and extend away from the side wall of the vehicle;
- the upper branch has a first, generally uniform width in a direction parallel to the side wall of the vehicle;
- the lower branch has a second, generally uniform width in a direction parallel to the side wall of the vehicle;
- and
- said second width being at least as large as said first width.
