ABSTRACT:
A drive (35, 37) reversible to two active states for optional generation of a force of displacement effecting retraction or extension of a foot rest configuration (11) is provided in an aircraft seat. The seat has seat components such as backrest seat element (1), and leg rest (9) coupled to the front edge area (3) of the seat element and pivotable between a lowered non-use position and raised use position. A foot rest configuration (11) is mounted to be movable longitudinally on the leg rest (9) between a retracted position and an extended position to form an extension of the leg rest (9). The leg rest is coupled to drive (35, 37) which may be switched between an inactive state of rest and an active state generating a force for displacement of the foot rest configuration (11).
