The first pivot position is shown in dashed lines in FIG. 10, wherein a direction of movement 56 hbetween the first and the second pivot position is shown by means of a double arrow. In this case, the fastening unit 14 his movable into the stowage position by a movement counter to the displacement direction 50 h. In the storage position, the attachment unit 14 his disposed within the seat member 12 h. For this purpose, the seat component 12 hhas a recess 28 h, in which the bearing unit 18 his arranged. In this case, the bearing unit 18 his arranged in the recess 28 hof the seat component 12 hin the stowage position. In addition, in the storage position, the fastening unit 14 his arranged in the recess 28 h. The recess 28 his formed as a cavity arranged in the seat component 12 h.In an alternative exemplary embodiment, the fastening unit 14 hmay have a clamp which partially encloses the seat component 12 hformed as the armrest. A flexible support arm could be fastened to the seat component 12 hby means of the clamp, wherein the support arm would be attached to the clamp and to the tablet computer 16 h, respectively, by means of a joint. Thus, the tablet computer 16h would be pivotable, replaceable, and operably attached to the seat member 12h.For reasons of clarity, the letter endings a to h for the different exemplary embodiments have been omitted from the reference symbols in the following table.10 Aircraft seat fastening device 12 Seat component 14 Fastening unit 16 Tablet computer 18 Bearing unit 20 Clamping element 22 Seat cover 24 Fastening element 26 Frame 28 Recess 30 Object holding unit 32 Clamp 34 Fastening rail 36 Belt portion 38 Seat cover portion 40 Aircraft seat 42 Bearing element 44 Bearing unit pivot axis 46 Fastening groove 48 Fixing unit 50 Displacement direction 52 Line element 54 Clamping element portion 56 Movement direction 58 Bearing unit 60 Bearing unit pivot axis 62 Clamping element end 64 Clamping element end 66 Clamping element opening 68 Pocket-like container 70 Introduction opening 72 Fixing means 74 Viewing region
