ABSTRACT:
A passenger seat assembly convertible between a first two-seat configuration, and a second two-seat configuration having increased seating space between seat armrests and spacing between seats. The seat assembly includes a seat assembly base with first and second seats mounted on the seat assembly base for carrying respective seat bottom and seat back cushions. The first seat is slidably mounted on the seat assembly base. The first seat includes first and second armrest assemblies positioned on opposite sides of the first seat. The second seat mounted in fixed relation on the seat assembly base, the second seat having a third armrest assembly positioned in fixed relation on the side of the second seat opposite the second armrest assembly of the first seat. The first armrest assembly is mounted in slidable relation to both the first seat and the second seat. The second armrest assembly is mounted in slidable relation to the first seat and in fixed relation to the second seat. Therefore, the second seat and the second armrest assembly are moveable in unison between the first seat configuration wherein the first and second seats and the first, second and third armrest assemblies are relatively close together and the second seat configuration wherein the first and second seats and the first, second and third armrest assemblies are each further apart to provide increased spacing between seat armrests and spacing between seats. Locking means are provided for locking the seat assembly into either its first or second seat configuration.
