ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed an airplane seat having a base member provided with a pair of tracks located on the bottom thereof which cooperate with a pair of tracks located on the floor of an airplane fuselage and which moves in a fore and aft direction. Located above the base member is an adjustable seat base and adjustable back member pivotally joined thereto. The seat base is connected through a shaft which cooperates with a clutch located in an opening in the top of the base and which permits universal movement of the seat base in fore, aft and lateral directions independently of the movement of the base member in a fore and aft direction. The seat is provided with a pair of adjustable arm rests, as well as being provided with adjusting linkage to raise and lower the leading edge of the seat base and the curvature of the front surface of the back member and linkage for adjusting the vertical position of the back member with respect to its relationship with the seat base, and the necessary controls for carrying out the various adjustments located on the arm rests.
