ABSTRACT:
Support structure for a multi-passenger seating unit, especially in aircraft, which is mounted to a seat track in the vehicle floor, includes a transverse floor stretcher tube of less length than the seating unit which is adapted to lie on the floor at the rear of the seating unit and be attached to at least a pair of seat tracks by a track fitting. The rear seat legs extend downwardly from an upper seat frame portion and are mounted to the floor stretcher tube at selected locations which are spaced from the track fittings so as to generally equalize the luggage storage space under each seat. In a preferred embodiment, a tension bracing member is also attached to the lower ends of each of the rear legs and to the floor stretcher tube and extends forwardly and upwardly to a point where it is attached to portions of the upper seat frame at locations which are spaced transversely from the front legs of the seat. The front legs are mounted by track fittings to the seat tracks and are not aligned in a fore and aft direction with the rear legs and tension bracing members. Depending upon the number of seats in a seating unit and the location of the seat tracks in an aircraft, the floor stretcher tube will extend only partially or not at all under the end seats of the seating unit.
