Embodiment Construction

[0032] First refer to figure 1 , which shows a part of a passenger cabin 100 of a commercial aircraft equipped with a passenger cabin seat 1 according to the invention. Seats 1 are conventionally arranged in rows.

[0033] Each seat 1 comprises a seat portion 2, a seat back 4, a headrest 6 and means 8 for mounting the seat on the floor of the passenger cabin. The seat 2 and the headrest 6 have a conventional shape.

[0034] The device 8 comprises a bracket 10 to be connected to the floor rails and a transverse shaft 12 carried by the bracket 10 and on which the seat 2 is hinged such that the backrest can rotate about the axis of this shaft. The backrest 4 is fixed to the shaft 12 . The backrest 4 comprises a structural strut 14 extending from a central region of the shaft 12 substantially in a direction perpendicular to the shaft 12 . These two elements can be added to each other or can be made of a single part, preferably of metallic or composite material. Another possib...

Abstract

The invention relates to a seat back (4) for an aircraft comprising a structural strut (14) carrying means for supporting an occupant of the seat ( 16 ), the means ( 16 ) are distributed along the structural strut ( 14 ) and are oriented transversely relative to the structural strut so as to protrude on either side of the strut. This solution reduces mass and size while providing occupants with a satisfactory level of comfort.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of aircraft seating, in particular to seating fitted in the passenger compartment of a commercial aircraft, commonly referred to as the "cabin" of the aircraft. [0002] The invention relates more particularly to an improvement in the design of the backrest of an aircraft seat. Background technique [0003] In existing aircraft, seat backs have a structural part, for example in the form of a frame, to which a number of elements, such as padding, are added, designed to make the occupants of these seats more comfortable. Such a commercial aircraft seat is described, for example, in US document US 2010 / 0308166. [0004] Although this design is versatile, it has a high mass and large dimensions, in particular due to the large number of structural components present. Occupant comfort must also be optimized. In this regard, there is a need in particular for a more uniform resistance to the pressure exerted by th...
