Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a two-seat long row seat for aircraft passengers. The invention also relates to the arrangement of such a two-seat long row seat in an aircraft. Background Technology

[0002] The layout of an aircraft cabin greatly affects passenger comfort and poses a significant business challenge, especially on long-haul flights.

[0003] Seating is a crucial element of aircraft cabin layout. On long-haul flights, seats can be converted from a chair-like position to a bed-like position, offering equivalent service in terms of comfort and the possibility of isolating oneself from other passengers in both configurations.

[0004] To meet these needs, existing technological solutions rely on individual seats, leaving very little freedom of movement between two adjacent seats. However, many passengers travel with family, especially as couples, and they will expect to be able to be closer to each other during their trip. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Therefore, one object of the present invention is to provide a solution for seats for aircraft passengers that improve passenger comfort, particularly for two passengers from the same family or a couple.

[0006] For this purpose, the present invention relates to a two-seat long row seat that allows passengers who wish to do so to more freely share the space of their two adjacent seats.

[0007] More precisely, the double-seat long row of seats for passengers in transportation vehicles (such as aircraft) has both sitting and reclining configurations, and includes a substantially vertical shell surrounding two independent paired seats, characterized in that...

[0008] - The two paired seats are oriented along the longitudinal axis of the aircraft.

[0009] - Each of the two paired seats independently adopts at least one chair-like position and one bed-like position.

[0010] - The two paired seats include a backrest and a seat.

[0011] - In the bed-like position, the two mating seats extend via an extension.

[0012] - When the two-seat long row is in reclining configuration, the two paired seats are in a bed-like position and are arranged at the same height to form a continuous horizontal surface. This continuous horizontal surface has the width and length adapted to form a double bed that can accommodate two reclining persons.

[0013] - When the two-seater bench seat is in the sitting configuration, the two paired seats are in a chair-like position and arranged such that the backrests of the two paired seats are incorporated into the substantially vertical shell of the two-seater bench seat, thereby forming a continuous vertical wall separated from the optional headrests, and thus providing a common backrest for the two occupants.

[0014] In a seated configuration, the vertical walls of the housing that combines the two backrests of the two paired seats can be substantially flat between the two backrests, or have no undulations or sharp points at least 80% or even at least 90% of the height of each backrest and / or the total height of the housing.

[0015] The backrests and seats of the two paired seats can move between a chair-like position and a bed-like position.

[0016] The backrest of each paired seat can occupy a position incorporated into the shell in the chair-like configuration and occupy a basic horizontal position forming the bed portion in the reclining configuration.

[0017] The backrests and seats of the two paired seats can be fixed between a chair-like position and a bed-like position, and each paired seat can include a leg rest that can move between a retracted position and a basic horizontal position that forms a bed portion in a reclining configuration.

[0018] The two-seater long bench seat may include a movable partition wall that can occupy a partition position in which the partition wall forms a wall separating two paired seats, and the partition wall can occupy a retracted position in which the two paired seats belong to the same space.

[0019] The partition wall may include at least two parts, the at least two parts including a fixed part and at least one movable part, the at least one movable part being vertically slidable relative to the fixed part and inserted into at least one guide groove on the housing located between the two mating seats.

[0020] The two-seat long bench for passengers may include two boxes located on either side of two paired seats and can be used as armrests or utilitarian surfaces.

[0021] Each housing may include an extension that is accessible to passengers in seats located behind the two-seat long row of seats.

[0022] The long double-seat bench for passengers may be designed to be positioned behind the middle seat in the middle row, which includes an extension that allows the paired seats of the long double-seat bench to be extended when the paired seats of the long double-seat bench are in a bed-like position.

[0023] The present invention also relates to a face-to-face module for passengers, characterized in that the face-to-face module includes a double-seat long row of seats arranged face-to-face as described above and an additional row, and characterized in that the additional row provides an extension that allows the paired seats of the double-seat long row to be extended when the paired seats of the double-seat long row are in a bed-like position.

[0024] The present invention also relates to an arrangement of seats for passengers, characterized in that the arrangement includes face-to-face modules occupying two rows at the ends of the arrangement, and characterized in that the subsequent rows are composed of alternating double-seat long rows and middle seats as described above.

Detailed Implementation

[0035] Below, when considering directions parallel to the aircraft's longitudinal axis, the longitudinal direction will be specified. When considering the location where a seat intended for use as an aircraft seat is installed inside the aircraft, the same frame of reference will be used, extending to the seat.

[0036] The following describes two implementations of the two-seat long bench 10:

[0037] - Depend on Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figures 5 to 8 The first embodiment shown uses paired seats 11, 12 with movable backrests and seats.

[0038] - Depend on Figure 3a , Figure 3b and Figure 4 The second embodiment shown uses paired seats 11, 12 with a fixed backrest and seat and a movable leg rest.

[0039] In both embodiments, the two-seat bench 10 includes a housing 1 surrounding two mating seats 11 and 12 and two boxes 14 and 15. The housing 1 has curved vertical walls with a horizontal cross-section that is a U-shaped stretch in width. The housing 1 also has a central portion S1 and two lateral portions S2 and S3 perpendicular to the central portion, these portions being substantially flat and connected to each other by curved links. The two mating seats 11 and 12 can occupy both chair-like and bed-like positions, which will be described in detail below.

[0040] The housing 1 has a longitudinal vertical symmetry plane A1 perpendicular to the central portion S1. The vertical plane A1 is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the aircraft. The housing 1 is fixed relative to the floor of the aircraft, which is intended to be mounted on the floor, and the floor supports the elements of the two-seat long row seat 10 of the present invention.

[0041] In the first embodiment, the central portion S1 of the housing 1 has a [missing information - likely a feature or design feature] on its rear surface. Figure 2 Two adjacent recesses E1 and E2 are visible in the housing and are arranged on both sides of the plane of symmetry A1 of the housing, which are intended to receive the backrests 111 and 121 of the movable mating seats 11 and 12, respectively.

[0042] Each of the movable paired seats 11 and 12 comprises a movable backrest 111, 121 and a movable seat portion 112, 122, which are hinged and rotate relative to each other. Recesses E1 and E2 in the housing 1 are formed such that, even when the movable seat portion is configured in a chair-like position, the recesses allow the backrest 111, 121 to be fully incorporated. In this position, the backrest 111, 121 thus occupies a substantially vertical, slightly rearward-tilted position. The seat portions 112, 122 occupy a substantially horizontal position.

[0043] Each mating seat 11, 12 can perform a translational movement relative to the housing 1, optionally combined with a rotational movement of the backrest relative to the seat. Therefore, in order to... Figure 1 The chair-shaped position shown is moved to by Figure 2 In the bed-like position shown, the seat portions 112, 122 undergo longitudinal translation, moving them away from the housing 1. Simultaneously, the backrests 111, 121 undergo vertical translation relative to the housing and simultaneous rotation relative to the seat portions 112, 122, moving from a substantially vertical position incorporated into the housing to a substantially horizontal position, at least partially occupying the positions previously occupied by the seat portions 112, 122. Therefore, in the bed-like position of the seat, the backrests 111, 121 and the seat portions 112, 122 form a continuous substantially horizontal surface, thus forming part of a bed for the passenger.

[0044] Therefore, when the seat is configured in a bed-like position, the maximum angle formed between the backrest and the seat can be 180 degrees.

[0045] The present invention is not limited to the described embodiments. In particular, the transition between a chair-like position and a bed-like position can be achieved by any other combination of movements.

[0046] In Figure 3 and Figure 4 In the second embodiment shown, the housing 1 does not have a recess, and the mating seats 11 and 12 are partially fixed. In the chair-like position, the removable backrests 111 and 121 are fastened against the housing 1, while in the bed-like position, the backrests can be removed to increase the length of the sleeping area. Alternatively, these backrests are fixed and non-removable. Furthermore, the seat portions 112 and 122 of the mating seats 11 and 12 are fixed.

[0047] In the second embodiment, the mating seats 11, 12 further include movable leg rests 113, 123. The movable leg rests 113, 123 are hinged and rotatable relative to the fixed seat portions 112, 122. The movement of the leg rests 113, 123 allows each of the mating seats 11, 12 to be independently adjusted to a chair-like position or a bed-like position. Figure 3aIn the chair-like position shown, leg rests 113, 123 occupy a substantially vertical, or more generally retracted, position in which the leg rests release space at the front of the seat, thereby allowing passengers to position their feet in a seated position. In such... Figure 3b In the bed-like position shown, the leg rest is raised by rotating relative to the seat until it occupies a substantially horizontal position that extends the seat and forms part of the passenger's bed.

[0048] In an alternative to the second embodiment, the leg rests 113, 123 have a flared shape at their distal ends, thus providing the user with greater freedom of movement when the seat is in a bed-like position. Furthermore, this freedom of movement allows the user of the paired seat in the bed-like position to rest their feet on an extension that is laterally positioned relative to the paired seats 11, 12.

[0049] In all embodiments, the two-seat bench seat is in a seated configuration when the two paired seats 11, 12 are in a chair-like position. The two paired seats 11, 12 are arranged such that their respective backrests 111, 121 are incorporated into the substantially vertical housing 1 of the two-seat bench seat, thereby forming a continuous vertical wall separated from the optional headrests.

[0050] In other words, when the two paired seats are in a chair-like position, the backrests 111 and 121 form an integral portion of the curved wall defined by the housing. In the first embodiment, the backrests are incorporated into the housing by filling recesses E1 and E2 to form an integral portion of the curved wall defined by the housing. In other words, the housing and the backrests together form a curved vertical wall without any discontinuity. The assembly formed by the housing 1 and the incorporated backrests 111 and 121 forms a shared and continuous backrest for the two paired seats 11 and 12.

[0051] Therefore, despite the presence of two distinct seats, the present invention has the advantage of forming a single surface equivalent to a single backrest. The housing eliminates any separation between the two seats, which are no longer considered as two distinct parts of the backrest surface. Thus, the double-seat bench forms a shared backrest for two occupants. With this configuration, two occupants can position themselves indiscriminately across the entire width of the double-seat bench, thereby maximizing the use of space. In other words, their positioning is not strictly limited to the backrest of the seat assigned to them. This increases comfort.

[0052] Specifically, the surface of each backrest 111, 121 of each paired seat 11, 12 is continuous with the surface of the adjacent shell. The surface remains continuous between the two backrests 111, 121, allowing the two passengers to be close together. In other words, in the seating configuration, the shell has no, or even a slight, separation at the backrest between the two passengers. According to the embodiment, this continuity is formed by a substantially flat surface between the two seats. Alternatively, the continuity can be formed by any surface without marked undulations. This continuity is evident when observing the horizontal cross-section of the shell. Advantageously, this continuity extends over the entire height of the backrest. Alternatively, this continuity extends beyond at least 80%, or even 90%, of the height of each backrest or the total height of the shell.

[0053] Furthermore, in both embodiments, when the two paired seats 11, 12 are in a bed-like position, the double-seat long row is in a reclining configuration. Therefore, the seats are arranged at the same height and form a continuous horizontal surface with a width and length adapted to form a double bed capable of accommodating two reclining individuals. The overall space is also optimized for two people.

[0054] Of course, the two seats remain independent and can occupy different positions.

[0055] In both embodiments, the housing 1 may also have a vertical groove R1 on its rear surface. This groove R1, located between the two mating seats 11, 12, is intended to guide the removable partition wall 13 for vertical translation. This partition wall 13 is arranged between the mating movable seats 11, 12 and allows for vertical translation by… Figure 2 The high position shown divides the space of the two-seat long row of seats 10 into two separate sub-spaces.

[0056] According to one embodiment, the partition wall 13 comprises a fixed portion 131 and at least one movable portion 132, which slides vertically within the fixed portion 131. Alternatively, several movable portions may be present, each capable of occupying several positions depending on the type of telescopic operation.

[0057] The fixed portion 131 itself is a hollow rectangular partition that accommodates a sliding mechanism for vertical translational movement of at least one movable portion 132. The fixed portion 131 of the partition wall 13 is fastened to the floor and housing 1, perpendicular to the central portion of housing 1, and located in the vertical plane of symmetry A1 of housing 1. In the longitudinal dimension of the fixed portion, the fixed portion 131 extends between the housing 1 of the long row of seats 10 and the middle seat of the substantially middle row 20 located in front of the long row of seats, so as to form a fixed physical partition at the legs between two paired seats 11, 12, as described by... Figure 6As shown. Furthermore, the height of the fixed portion 131 (measured in the vertical direction) corresponds to the height of the plane formed by the seat portions 112, 122 of the mating seats 11, 12, as shown in... Figure 1 It is particularly visible in the middle.

[0058] In both described embodiments, at least one movable portion 132 of the partition wall 13 may take the following forms:

[0059] - Figure 2 The “high” position shown corresponds to the maximum deployment of the partition 13, in which the partition divides the double-seat long row 10 into two separate seats; and

[0060] - Figure 1 The “low” position shown corresponds to the movable part being fully retracted into the fixed part, in which the double-seat bench 10 forms a single comfortable space for two people. The low position of the partition wall 13 corresponds to the height of the sleeping area.

[0061] Alternatively, the partition 13 can take on a "low," "middle," and "high" position. The middle position corresponds to at least one movable part partially retracting into the fixed part, positioning the partition 13 at the height of the armrest, thus forming a central armrest shared by both seats. The high position corresponds to the partition 13 extending beyond the middle position and reaching its maximum extension, the maximum extension position being... Figure 2 As shown in the diagram. In the high position, the partition 13 forms two separate armrests and divides the double-seat long row of seats 10 into two separate seats.

[0062] When the partition is fully extended, at least one movable portion 132 extends substantially longitudinally between the housing 1 of the long row seat 10 and the middle seat of the middle row 20 located in front of the long row seat, and extends vertically at a given maximum height close to the height of the housing 1 to form a complete separation between the two paired seats 11, 12.

[0063] In an alternative implementation, the maximum height of the partition wall 13 when deployed can be any other height, optionally less than the height of the housing 1.

[0064] In one embodiment, the movement of at least one movable part 132 is further guided by a vertical groove R1 present on the rear surface of the housing 1 and located between the two mating seats 11, 12, as described above.

[0065] In an alternative embodiment presented, a complementary groove is arranged on the rear surface of the middle seat of the middle row 20 located directly in front of the double-seat long row 10. The complementary groove is used to guide at least one moving part at the front end, which is opposite to the end guided in the groove R1 of the housing.

[0066] At least one movable portion 132 may be at least partially translucent or opaque.

[0067] According to an embodiment, the partition wall 13 may be partially made of a material that allows for visual and / or acoustic isolation.

[0068] The position of the partition 13 can be adjusted by each passenger in the paired seats 11 and 12.

[0069] Of course, the present invention is not limited to the described embodiments. The partition wall 13 may have any other mobility to move from the retracted position to the partitioned position. Such mobility may be obtained, for example, by rotation or a combination of rotation and translation.

[0070] In the two embodiments presented, the central portion S1 of the housing 1 has two lateral openings O1 and O2 that open on the rear surface of the housing 1. Figure 6 As shown in the diagram, these two lateral openings are positioned facing the housings 14 and 15 of the double-seat long row 10. These lateral openings O1 and O2 are used by passengers occupying seats located behind the double-seat long row 10 to allow them access to additional spaces 141 and 151 located inside the housings 14 and 15.

[0071] Two boxes, 14 and 15, are arranged symmetrically with respect to the vertical plane of symmetry A1. The horizontal cross-section of each box has the shape of a right trapezoid, which is rounded at the corners. The cross-section is smaller towards the front of the box.

[0072] The box body is arranged against the shell 1 as follows:

[0073] - The trapezoidal base formed by the cross-sections of boxes 14 and 15 is positioned against the central portion S1 of the shell 1, and

[0074] - The rounded right angle at the bottom of the trapezoid formed by the box body matches the rounded corner of the shell 1.

[0075] The boxes 14 and 15 are hollow and open towards the rear of the housing 1. Therefore, as described above, these boxes form additional spaces 141 and 151 accessible to passengers located behind the double-seat long row. These additional spaces 141 and 151 include flat additional surfaces or extensions 114 and 124 (in...). Figure 6(As can be seen in the image), the additional surface or extension is intended to form a bed extension for the seat located behind the double-seat long row 10.

[0076] The housings 14 and 15 also define wide armrests for each of the users of the paired seats 11 and 12. The upper surfaces of the housings 14 and 15 also provide a practical surface that allows for, for example, the placement of objects.

[0077] The two lateral portions S2 and S3 of the housing 1 define the space for the two-seat long row of seats. Retractable side walls 16 and 17 ( Figure 5 (As shown) Each lateral portion S2, S3 of the housing 1 can extend to form a partition between the space of the double-row seating 10 and the aisle. This lateral wall slides longitudinally within the lateral portions S2, S3 of the housing 1. Thus, the transverse wall forms a partition wall. The transverse wall can form a door for accessing the space of the double-row seating from the adjacent aisle. In an alternative embodiment, this door for accessing the space of the double-row seating can be made of other types of mechanisms and / or materials (e.g., curtains) capable of providing visual isolation.

[0078] In one embodiment, the housing 1 may be provided with a sound-insulating coating.

[0079] The present invention also relates to the layout of an aircraft section having a double row of seats 10 as described above.

[0080] This layout includes, for example Figure 6 The arrangement shown, wherein the double-seat bench 10 according to the invention is positioned behind the middle row 20, such that the paired seats 11, 12 of the double-seat bench 10 extend in their bed-like position via additional surfaces or extensions 114, 124 provided by this middle row 20. Thus, the middle row 20 advantageously includes a bench seat comprising two housings similar to the two housings of the double-seat bench 10, these two housings being positioned as extensions of the paired seats of the double-seat bench 10. Also advantageously, this middle row 20 also includes two seats 21, 22.

[0081] The aircraft layout with two long rows of seats 10 according to the first embodiment is as follows: Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown. The layout of the aircraft according to this embodiment includes alternation between the described two-seat long row 10 and the middle row 20.

[0082] The aircraft layout with two long rows of seats 10 according to the second embodiment is as follows: Figure 4As shown. This layout is based on a series of double-seat long rows of seats arranged one after another according to the invention. Therefore, in this aircraft layout, the aforementioned middle row 20 is the same long row of seats 10. Thus, the extensions 114, 124 of the first double-seat long row 10 are located in the housings 14, 15 of the second double-seat long row 10, which is located in front of the first double-seat long row 10. In this embodiment, the leg rests 113, 123 have a flared shape at their distal ends, thus providing the user with greater freedom of movement when the seat is in a bed-like position. This freedom of movement allows the user to comfortably access the extensions 114, 124 (as in...). Figure 4 These extensions (as shown in the diagram) are positioned laterally relative to the directions of seats 11 and 12.

[0083] The layout of the aircraft section with two long rows of seats 10 includes the specific implementation of the first row, or even the last row, of the section so that the first row provides extensions 114, 124 for users of the long rows of seats 10 located behind this first row.

[0084] Therefore, in cases where there is no middle row located in front of the double-seat long row 10, an additional row 40 can be arranged facing the double-seat long row 10 to provide extensions 114, 124 for the double-seat long row. This component, referred to as the face-to-face module 30, is composed of... Figure 7 exhibit.

[0085] Therefore, the layout of the aircraft section with two long rows of seats 10 can be configured as follows: face-to-face module 30, followed by middle row 20 and alternation of two long rows of seats 10 according to one of the presented alternative embodiments.

[0086] Alternatively, the alternation between the middle row 20 and the two-seat long row 10 is constituted by a series of two-seat long rows 10.

[0087] More generally, the present invention relates to the layout of means of transport (such as air, sea, or rail transport vehicles having double-seat long-row seats 10 according to the invention), particularly the layout of ferries or cruise ships and long-distance trains. More specifically, the invention relates to the layout of business class or first class or any other luxury cabin in such air, sea, or rail transport vehicles.
