ABSTRACT:
The present invention is an improvement in seat construction for seating at least two passengers which includes a seat frame having front and back sides running the length of the frame and left and right sides running transverse of the frame, and is adapted to support at least two passenger seats. In particular, the present invention includes independent thigh support devices for each of the passengers, and a cushion member for each of the passengers which extend from the back of the seat frame and are arranged on each of the thigh support devices for simultaneous movement therewith and each of which have a perimeter dimension for supporting a passenger. Each of the thigh support devices, in turn, includes a thigh support frame pivotally fixed to the back of the seat frame for upward and downward rotation each thigh support frame formed so that it is substantially coextensive with the perimeter of each cushion member. Thus, up and down movement of each of the thigh support frames coextensively adjust each of the cushion members in up and down positions so that thigh support for a passenger on each of the cushion members is maintained substantially coplanar at all times during and between adjustments.
