ABSTRACT:
In a seat adapted for use in a seating arrangement in a vehicle an upholstered seat with a hinged, tiltable backrest, a maximum degree of comfort and legroom for passengers is provided with a minimum of floorspace required.
For this purpose the seat is equipped with a seat frame and a backrest frame assembly which are both curved in the direction transverse to the seat or the backrest. The seat is thus well adapted to the shape of a human body without the use of relatively thick upholstery for the seat and the backrest and additional kneeroom for a person sitting on a seat behind is obtained. Seat and backrest each comprise frame members which facilitate this curvature and the backrest may be fitted with a curved thin shell of sheet metal or plastic, thus further reducing the thickness required for the backrest upholstery. For such seats intended to be used in a row of seats adjacent to the long corridor of the vehicle, a facility for lateral displacement of the seat on its support frame is provided, and comprises a cylindrical and a flat guide assembly, which allows displacement of the seat without jamming. The armrest of such a seat in a further embodiment is equipped with a locking mechanism by which the armrest can be lowered into a position beside the seat or can be easily moved into and locked at any elevation.
