ABSTRACT:
A reclinable vehicle seat that can be used in an aircraft comprises a bottom part and a back support part which are rotatable together about an axis which extends transversely to the seat and is below and towards the rear bottom part. A hydraulic cylinder is provided to secure the parts in positions angularly spaced about the axis. The back support part may additionally be pivoted about the same or a different transverse axis in relation to the bottom part. The seat preferably includes a leg support part extending downwardly from or adjacent to the front edge of the bottom part, which optionally includes a foot rest. The leg support part may be fixed or pivoted in relation to the bottom part so as to extend forwardly and downwardly when the seat is tilted rearwardly of its normal upright position.
