Abstract
An aircraft berthing seat including a seat base; a support assembly borne by the seat base and moveable along a predetermined path of travel; a leg rest assembly borne by the support assembly, and moveable to predetermined supporting positions; a seat cushion assembly borne by the base and disposed in spaced relation relative to the support assembly; and a seat back assembly borne by the seat base and moveable along a path of travel from an upright position, into substantially coplanar relation relative to the seat cushion and leg rest assembly, respectively, thereby forming an aircraft berthing seat.
Claims22
An aircraft berthing seat comprising:
- a seat base;
- a support assembly borne by the seat base, the support assembly having an unsupported distal end and being moveable along a predetermined path of travel;
- a leg rest assembly borne by the support assembly and moveable to predetermined supporting positions relative to the support assembly;
- a seat cushion assembly borne by the base and disposed in spaced relation relative to the support assembly;
- and
- a seat back assembly borne by the seat base and moveable along a path of travel from an upright position into a substantially coplanar position relative to the seat cushion assembly and the leg rest assembly, thereby forming an aircraft berthing seat.
An aircraft berthing seat comprising:
- a seat base including a reciprocally moveable frame;
- a rotation assembly borne by the reciprocally moveable frame;
- a seat pan borne on the rotation assembly;
- a support assembly borne by the seat pan, athe support assembly having an unsupported distal end and being moveable along a predetermined path of travel;
- a cushion assembly borne by the seat pan and disposed in spaced relation relative to the support assembly;
- a leg rest assembly borne by the support assembly and moveable into predetermined supporting positions relative to the support assembly;
- and
- a seat back assembly borne by the seat pan and moveable along a path of travel into various supporting positions relative to the seat cushion assembly and the leg rest assembly, thereby forming an aircraft berthing seat.
An aircraft berthing seat comprising:
- a seat base;
- a seat cushion assembly borne by the base and including a seat pan and a seat cushion;
- a support assembly borne by the seat base, the support assembly having an unsupported distal end and being moveable along a predetermined path of travel from a first position where the support assembly is substantially enclosed within the seat pan to a second position where the support assembly is positioned in a location exterior to the seat pan;
- a leg rest assembly borne by the support assembly, the leg rest assembly including a supporting surface for supporting an occupant's legs and a collapsible frame rendering the leg rest assembly moveable from a first storage position to a second coplanar position relative to the seat cushion;
- and
- a seat back assembly borne by the seat base and moveable along a path of travel from an upright position into a substantially coplanar position relative to the seat cushion assembly and the leg rest assembly.
