Abstract
Description
[0001] The invention relates to a seating arrangement for a means of transport, in particular for a means of transport for persons, wherein the seating arrangement is arranged on the means of transport by means of a fastening device.
[0002] Such means of transport are designed and suitable for carrying a large number of people and include, for example, rail vehicles or aircraft. Examples of rail vehicles are local and / or long-distance trains, commuter trains, subways, and similar systems. There is a need to utilize the available space in such means of transport as efficiently as possible. Ideally, as many passengers as possible should be able to be accommodated in a single vehicle. By providing traditional seating arrangements, in which the user sits in a conventional sitting position with bent legs, each passenger occupies a comparatively large amount of space in the vehicle. In contrast, providing standing room allows significantly more passengers to be accommodated. However, standing room often represents an unacceptable loss of travel comfort, especially on longer journeys.Another disadvantage of current seating arrangements is that they cannot be modified to meet user needs. For example, the orientation of the seats cannot be changed. Adjusting the orientation to the direction of travel is generally not possible. Similarly, seating groups are usually provided in which two pairs of seats face each other or are arranged in a row. Therefore, adapting to the needs of small groups of travelers or families is not possible with such seating arrangements.
[0003] Document DE 10 2016 202 089 A1 is known from the prior art. This document discloses a seat for a rail vehicle. The seat has an outer support frame which carries an inner textile covering. The textile covering comprises at least two sections with different elasticities. The frame includes a lower tube in which a pivot axis is arranged. The pivot axis is connected to the rail vehicle. The lower tube provides a support surface for the backs of the knees or thighs of a person sitting on the seat. The frame is pivotable relative to the pivot axis. Furthermore, a seat adjustment mechanism is provided, which is pneumatically operated.
[0004] Furthermore, document DE 10 2017 008 684 A1 is known. This document discloses a rail-bound transport vehicle designed as a cabin vehicle. The cabin vehicle has a roof opening into which a prefabricated functional element is inserted, which is attached at least to the roof of the cabin vehicle. According to one embodiment, such a functional element is designed to accommodate folded frame seats. These frame seats are movable along a floor rail.
[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a seating arrangement that overcomes the aforementioned disadvantages. Furthermore, the object of the invention is to provide an interior fitting for a means of transport that overcomes the aforementioned disadvantages.
[0006] The problem is solved by the subject matter of claims 1 and 12. Advantageous embodiments are described in the dependent claims. A key aspect of the invention is to provide a seating arrangement for a means of transport, particularly for passenger transport, wherein the seating arrangement can be attached to or within the means of transport by means of a fastening device. The seating arrangement is designed and suitable for providing a seated position at standing height, wherein the seating arrangement comprises at least one frame element which is arranged on the fastening device by means of at least one bearing axis, wherein the at least one bearing axis is received in at least one receiving element of the fastening device, and wherein the at least one receiving element is arranged on a fastening element which is designed as an arm element extending along a vertical axis (Z).
[0007] The following uses a coordinate system with a height axis (X), a width axis (Y), and a depth axis (X') for the seating arrangement. For at least one frame element, a coordinate system with a height axis (X'), a width axis (Y'), and a depth axis (X') is used. Each axis can further define two directions.
[0008] According to the invention, the frame element comprises an upper area for supporting the back and at least one seat area integrated into the at least one frame element. The at least one frame element thus fulfills the function of both a backrest and a seat. This provides an extremely simple and cost-effective seating arrangement. The first and second seating areas of the at least one frame element preferably extend along a depth axis (X') that lies between 10 cm and 50 cm, more preferably between 15 cm and 40 cm. Therefore, by virtue of the design with a seating area integrated into the at least one frame element, the seating arrangement already exhibits a smaller depth dimension compared to conventional seating arrangements.Since at least one frame element already includes an integrated seating area, no additional seat is necessary or provided. Furthermore, the seating area is positioned at a height that allows for sitting or leaning at standing height. Such seating arrangements are also known as standing seats. Due to the advantageous design as a standing seat, the occupant of the seating arrangement does not assume a classic sitting posture. Rather, the occupant adopts a posture that is almost equivalent to standing. This posture requires significantly less space compared to the classic sitting posture, in which the legs are bent at approximately right angles. The advantageous seating arrangement thus has a considerably shallower depth than a conventional seat. Passengers of the means of transport are therefore offered an extremely simple yet comfortable way to sit while standing.Unlike standing, sitting while standing relieves the legs and blood circulation. This promotes healthy, "dynamic sitting." Therefore, seating should be provided to as many passengers as possible, offering them acceptable travel comfort. Furthermore, the available space in the means of transport should be used as efficiently as possible. Preferably, the seating area is arranged at a height between 40 cm and 150 cm, and more preferably at a height between 40 cm and 130 cm. The seat height can advantageously be tailored to the intended users. For example, a seating arrangement intended for children or the elderly would preferably have a seat height between 40 cm and 60 cm. A seating arrangement for adults would more likely have a height between 80 cm and 150 cm, and more preferably between 80 cm and 130 cm.
[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the at least one frame element is formed by a lower section and an upper section. Preferably, the at least one frame element has a base surface extending along a height axis (Z') and a width axis (Y'). This base surface is preferably configured as a polygon. More preferably, the base surface is configured as a quadrilateral. More preferably, the base surface is configured essentially as a rectangle or essentially as a trapezoid. The term "essentially" is to be interpreted as including even minor tolerance deviations with respect to a shape, length, or angle. Thus, the deviation can be an angle of preferably less than 10°, more preferably less than 7.5°, and even more preferably less than 5°. This also applies to the terms "essentially" used in the following.According to a further preferred embodiment, the lower section and the upper section of the at least one frame element form the at least one frame element in one piece, in one piece, or in multiple pieces, particularly in two pieces. In a one-piece design, the frame element, or the upper and lower sections, are manufactured as a single, unified part, or as a so-called monoblock. Advantageously, the respective sections are made of the same material. A one-piece design here means that, although all sections are not manufactured from a single, unified part, they are not only firmly but so intimately connected to one another that they do not appear as several components joined together and, in any case, cannot be separated from one another without being destroyed.
[0010] Advantageously, the lower section comprises at least a first transverse section extending substantially along a lateral axis (Y') and a second transverse section extending substantially along a lateral axis (Y'). Preferably, the upper section comprises a third transverse section extending along the lateral axis (Y'). Preferably, the first and second transverse sections extend along a depth axis (X'). Advantageously, this extension is greater than that of the third transverse section extending along the depth axis. Preferably, the first and / or the second transverse section forms at least part of the seating area. Preferably, the first and second transverse sections extend along the depth axis in opposite directions. Preferably, the first and second transverse sections are connected to each other.Preferably, the first and second transverse sections are formed in one piece or as a single unit. Advantageously, the first and second transverse sections are spaced apart from the third transverse section along the vertical axis (Z') and connected by means of two strut elements. Preferably, the first and second transverse sections have a greater extent along a vertical axis (X') than the third transverse section. It is advantageous that the lower and upper sections enclose an inner surface. Likewise, the first and second transverse sections enclose the two strut elements, and the third transverse section encloses the inner surface. Thus, the at least one frame element is essentially plate-like, with the first and second transverse sections having an increased depth extent at the lower end along the vertical axis, thereby forming the seating area at least partially.
[0011] According to the invention, the at least one frame element is pivotable about a pivot axis extending along a lateral axis (Y', Y) relative to the mounting device. The at least one frame element is therefore pivotable as a whole with respect to a pivot axis. Thus, both the advantageous upper area for back support and the advantageous integrated seat area are simultaneously pivoted or rotated about the pivot axis. In contrast, with conventional seating arrangements, only the backrest is pivotable about a pivot axis. According to the invention, the at least one frame element is pivotable in at least two pivot positions. Preferably, the at least one frame element is pivotable in three pivot positions. Preferably, the at least one frame element is pivotable in a first pivot position.Preferably, in the first pivot position, the frame element extends substantially perpendicular to an imaginary plane that extends parallel to the floor of the transport vehicle. Advantageously, the at least one frame element can be pivoted into a second pivot position, which is inclined relative to the first pivot position by an angle of inclination (α). Preferably, the at least one frame element can be pivoted into a third pivot position, which is inclined relative to the first pivot position by an angle of inclination (β). Advantageously, a second imaginary plane can be defined, which extends perpendicular to the first imaginary plane. Advantageously, in the first pivot position, the at least one frame element is arranged substantially in the second imaginary plane.In the second and third pivot positions, the at least one frame element preferably encloses an angle of inclination α and β, respectively, with the second imaginary plane. It is advantageous that the at least one frame element is inclined in opposite directions along a depth axis (X) in the second and third pivot positions. Advantageously, the angle of inclination (α) and the angle of inclination (β) thus have opposite signs (±). Preferably, however, the angle of inclination (α) and the angle of inclination (β) have the same magnitude. Preferably, the angles of inclination (α, β) lie in a range between 10° and 80°, more preferably in a range between 20° and 70°, wherein the at least one frame element and the second imaginary plane enclose the angles of inclination (α, β).
[0012] The at least one bearing axis enables the at least one frame element to pivot or rotate about the pivot axis. Preferably, the pivot axis extends through or along the bearing axis. According to the invention, only one bearing axis is provided. This bearing axis is received in at least one receiving device of the fastening device. Preferably, the bearing axis is received in two receiving devices of the fastening device that are separated from each other along the width axis (Y, Y'). Advantageously, at least one frame element is arranged between two receiving devices of the fastening device. According to a further preferred embodiment, a through-channel for the bearing axis is provided at the lower end of the at least one frame element along a height axis (Z').According to the invention, the bearing axis extends through the through-channel of the at least one frame element. Preferably, the through-channel is provided in the lower section of the at least one frame element. The through-channel can preferably extend over the entire width of the at least one frame element. More preferably, the through-channel extends over a substantial section along the width direction of the at least one frame element. Such a substantial section preferably corresponds to at least half, and more preferably at least three-quarters, of the total width of the at least one frame element. However, it would also be conceivable that the through-channel is not completely closed. Furthermore, it would be conceivable that the through-channel has at least one, and preferably two, bearing areas, which are formed by the at least one frame element or are arranged on the at least one frame element.In the remaining part of the process, the bearing axis could be preferentially exposed.
[0013] According to the invention, the bearing axis is rotationally fixed, i.e., mechanically rigid, to the fastening device or to the at least one receiving element of the fastening device. It is advantageous that the at least one frame element is pivotably or rotatably arranged relative to and on the bearing axis. It would also be conceivable that the bearing axis is rotationally fixed, i.e., mechanically rigid, to the at least one frame element. In this case, it is advantageous that the bearing axis is rotatably mounted in the at least one, preferably two, receiving element(s). The at least one frame element and the bearing axis then preferably pivot or rotate relative to the at least one, preferably two, receiving element(s).According to an unclaimed embodiment, two bearing axes are provided, which are arranged on the lower section of the at least one frame element on the respective sides opposite each other along the width axis (Y, Y') such that they project beyond the at least one frame element along the width axis (Y, Y'). The two bearing axes are then rotatably mounted in a receiving device of the fastening element.
[0014] According to a further preferred embodiment, a locking device is provided by means of which the at least one frame element can be locked in at least one pivot position. Preferably, the at least one frame element can be locked in at least two or at least three pivot positions by means of the locking device. Advantageously, the at least one frame element can be locked in all provided pivot positions by means of the locking device. If the at least one frame element is pivoted into the first pivot position and preferably locked in this pivot position, it is oriented upright and arranged essentially in the second imaginary plane, which runs perpendicular to the first imaginary plane. In this position, the seating arrangement is not occupied by a user.The effective depth of the seating arrangement in this position essentially corresponds to the sum of the depths of the first and second transverse sections of the at least one frame element. The seating arrangement therefore occupies minimal space in the first pivot position along the depth axis. Because the at least one frame element occupies very little space when in its upright position, efficient mounting of the seating arrangement is possible, for example. Furthermore, when several seating arrangements are arranged in a row, the space between them can be increased by pivoting them into the first pivot position. According to a further advantageous embodiment, in the second pivot position of the at least one frame element, a first seating area is formed at least by the first transverse section.Preferably, in the third pivot position of the at least one frame element, a second seating area is formed at least by the second transverse section. Advantageously, the at least one frame element can be pivoted into the first, second, and third pivot positions and can be locked in these pivot positions. Due to the preferred extension of the first and second transverse sections in opposite directions along the depth axis (X) and the opposite angles of inclination (α, β) of the at least one frame element in the second and third pivot positions, the first and second seating areas are oriented in opposite directions along the depth axis (X). This design allows for extremely simple adjustment of the seating orientation to the direction of travel.Some modes of transport, such as trains, can change direction while in motion. This can happen, for example, when entering or exiting a terminal station. However, some passengers feel uncomfortable traveling backward. By simply switching from, for example, the second to the third swivel position, the orientation of the seating arrangement can be easily adjusted to the direction of travel.
[0015] According to a further preferred embodiment, at least one frame element is pivotable into the first pivot position and into the second pivot position and advantageously lockable in these pivot positions. It would also be conceivable to consider an embodiment in which at least one frame element is pivotable into the first pivot position and into the third pivot position and advantageously lockable in these pivot positions. According to these embodiments, the seating arrangement would thus still be designed in an upright pivot position for only one seating direction. According to a further preferred embodiment, at least one frame element is pivotable into the second pivot position and into the third pivot position and advantageously lockable in these pivot positions. According to this embodiment, the seating arrangement would be designed for two opposite seating directions.However, no upright pivot position for storage would be provided. It would be conceivable that at least one frame element could only assume the second or third pivot position and be locked or fixed in that position. Of course, it would also be conceivable that at least one frame element could be pivoted into further pivot positions and locked in these positions. Such further pivot positions could lie between the first and second pivot positions or between the first and third pivot positions. The corresponding angles of inclination would then be smaller than the angles of inclination (α, β). This would allow the occupant to adjust the inclination of the upper section for back support according to their needs.According to a further advantageous embodiment, in the second pivot position of the at least one frame element, the first seating area extends substantially parallel to the first imaginary plane, or horizontally. Preferably, in the third pivot position of the at least one frame element, the second seating area extends substantially parallel to the first imaginary plane, or horizontally. Preferably, the first transverse section comprises an upper surface which, in the second pivot position, extends substantially parallel to the first imaginary plane. Advantageously, the second transverse section comprises an upper surface which, in the third pivot position, extends substantially parallel to the first imaginary plane.
[0016] According to a further preferred embodiment, at least one handle element is provided on the at least one frame element. Preferably, the at least one handle element is arranged on one of the strut elements in an upper region along the vertical axis (Z). Thus, the handle element is arranged wholly or at least partially on the upper section of the at least one frame element. The seating arrangement advantageously has a first outer side and a second outer side. Advantageously, the handle element is arranged on an outer side which, when installed in the means of transport, is located at a passageway. The handle elements thus provide a handhold for standing or passing passengers. It is conceivable that only the first outer side is located at a passageway of the means of transport. In this case, it is advantageous for the handle element to be arranged on the first outer side of the seating arrangement.However, it would also be conceivable to have a handle on both the first and second outer sides of the seating arrangement. This would be advantageous, for example, if the means of transport has two aisles. The arrangement of the handles is not limited to the arrangement in relation to the aisles, however. Such handles can also have other functions, such as providing assistance when standing up, etc.
[0017] According to a further preferred embodiment, the seating arrangement comprises only a frame element which is arranged on the mounting device. Advantageously, the frame element is arranged between two receiving elements of the mounting device. Preferably, each receiving element is arranged on a mounting element which is suitable and designed for attaching the receiving element to the means of transport. Advantageously, the mounting elements comprise arm elements extending along the vertical axis (Z) which terminate in a base element. The respective arm element and the receiving element are advantageously designed as a single piece. It is also advantageous that the arm elements and the base element are designed as a single piece. Preferably, the base element is arranged centrally to and along the vertical axis (Z) below the frame element.The arm elements are designed to converge downwards along the vertical axis (Z). Preferably, the arm elements and the base element are designed as flat profiles. Preferably, the arm elements are essentially V-shaped. This allows for advantageous symmetrical force transmission into the base element. Such a design makes the seating arrangement extremely simple. The fastening element engages directly with the bearing axis for the frame element. Therefore, any additional components for supporting the frame element are unnecessary. The base element can advantageously be fixed directly to the floor of the transport vehicle. Alternatively, the fastening device or the base element could be arranged on the floor of the transport vehicle in a way that allows it to be moved by means of a guide system.In a further embodiment, the base element comprises a footrest element, which is designed as a connecting element extending along the width axis (Y) between arm elements and spaced apart from the base element along the height axis. It would also be conceivable that a rotating device is provided in or on the base element, by means of which rotation of the seating arrangement about a rotation axis extending parallel to the height axis (Z) is possible.
[0018] According to a further preferred embodiment, the seating arrangement comprises two frame elements which are arranged on the mounting device. Preferably, the two frame elements are arranged side by side along the width axis (Y). The two frame elements can be identical or different. Each of the two frame elements can have features according to the embodiments described above independently of one another. As already described, a first and a second outer side of the seating arrangement can preferably be defined. If the seating arrangement comprises two frame elements, each outer side of the seating arrangement is represented by one of the two frame elements. The at least one handle element already described can be arranged on one of the two outer sides. Advantageously, in an installed state, the outer side with the handle element is located at a passageway of the transport vehicle.It would also be conceivable to arrange at least one handle on both outer sides, and thus on both frame elements. This is advantageous, for example, if, when installed, both outer sides face a passage for the transport vehicle. It would also be conceivable to arrange at least one handle on each of the two inner sides of the frame elements. These could preferably be provided in addition to the handles on the outer sides.
[0019] Advantageously, the two frame elements can be pivoted independently of each other about a common pivot axis extending along a lateral axis (Y) relative to the fastening device. Preferably, as already described, the two frame elements can be pivoted independently of each other about the inclination angles (α, β) into the first, second, and third pivot positions. According to a further advantageous embodiment, only one bearing axis is provided. Advantageously, the bearing axis extends at least over the entire lateral extent of the two frame elements. As already described, the bearing axis extends through the through-channels of the two frame elements. Preferably, the bearing axis is received in at least two, preferably exactly two, receiving devices of the fastening device. Preferably, each of the receiving devices is arranged on a fastening element.Preferably, at least one fastening element comprises an arm element extending along the vertical axis (Z).
[0020] In a further preferred embodiment, a first receiving device is arranged between the two frame elements. Preferably, a second receiving device is arranged laterally to one of the two frame elements, or on one of the two outer sides of the seat assembly. In an advantageous embodiment, the first receiving device is arranged on a fastening element which comprises an arm element extending along the vertical axis (Z). Preferably, the second receiving device is arranged on a fastening element which can be attached to the means of transport by means of a plate-like element.
[0021] The plate-like element allows the receiving device to be arranged on a wall element of the transport vehicle. The plate-like element is thus arranged in a mounting plane that extends essentially parallel to the second imaginary plane. Advantageously, the wall element of the transport vehicle encompasses the mounting plane. Preferably, such a wall element is a side wall of the transport vehicle. The arm element can be designed as a cantilever or cantilever. The arm element preferably terminates in a second plate-like element, which is also arranged in the mounting plane. The arm element thus extends from the mounting plane towards the first receiving device. Preferably, the arm element extends obliquely upwards from the mounting plane along the vertical axis (Z) and terminates in the first receiving device.According to a further advantageous embodiment, instead of the aforementioned first and second plate-like elements, only one plate-like element is provided, which extends along the mounting plane. The arm element, or cantilever arm, preferably extends from this single plate-like element to the first receiving device. The second receiving device is preferably arranged on the mounting element. In other words, the aforementioned first and second plate-like elements are combined into a single plate-like element.
[0022] In a further embodiment, the first receiving device and the second receiving device are each arranged on a fastening element which includes an arm element extending along the vertical axis (Z). Thus, the fastening device comprises two arm elements. Advantageously, the first receiving device, located between the two frame elements, is arranged on a first arm element. The second receiving device is preferably arranged on a second arm element. The second receiving device and the second arm element are advantageously arranged on an outer side of the seating arrangement. Advantageously, the at least one handle element is also arranged on this outer side. By providing the second receiving device and the second arm element on the same outer side as the at least one handle element, the forces that can be applied to the seating arrangement can be effectively transferred via the second arm element.The seating arrangement thus exhibits advantageously increased stability on its outer surface. Both arm elements are advantageously fixable to the floor of the transport device. It would also be conceivable for the arm elements to be fixed to a rail arrangement. Such a design allows the position of the seating arrangement within the transport device to be varied. The two arm elements are inclined at an angle γ relative to a reference axis perpendicular to the first plane: The angle γ lies in a range between 5° and 20°, preferably in a range between 10° and 15°. According to a further advantageous embodiment, the first and / or the second arm element comprises a footrest element. Preferably, the footrest element is oriented parallel to the first plane.
[0023] In a further preferred embodiment, the first receiving device and the second receiving device are each arranged on an outer side of the seat assembly. Preferably, the two frame elements are arranged between the first receiving device and the second receiving device. Preferably, the first receiving device and the second receiving device are each arranged on a fastening element which comprises an arm element, wherein the two arm elements extend along the vertical axis (Z) and terminate in a base element. Preferably, the base element is arranged centrally to and along the vertical axis (Z) below the two frame elements. The arm elements are designed to converge downwards along the vertical axis (Z). Preferably, the arm elements are substantially V-shaped.This embodiment can advantageously have the same further features and advantages as the embodiment with only one frame element.
[0024] In the embodiments described above, it is advantageous that the respective fastening element, the respective receiving device, and, if applicable, the base element are designed as a single unit or in one piece. The support of the continuous bearing axis by means of two receiving devices ensures sufficient stability of the seating arrangement. A further third bearing point is therefore unnecessary. This results in a seating arrangement with considerable material savings.
[0025] In a preferred embodiment, at least one frame element is made of a metal alloy, preferably an aluminum alloy. The fastening device can also be made, at least partially, of a metal alloy, preferably an aluminum alloy. This allows the seating arrangement to be constructed as lightly as possible.
[0026] In a further particularly preferred embodiment, a seat cover is arranged on or in the at least one frame element. The at least one frame element preferably encloses an inner surface. The seat cover is therefore advantageously arranged in this inner surface. Alternatively, it is preferred if the seat cover is arranged on or over the inner surface. It would also be conceivable for the seat cover to enclose the inner surface, at least partially. Advantageously, the seat cover is designed and intended to withstand the force applied by the user. The seat cover therefore advantageously possesses a corresponding degree of stability. Accordingly, no further supporting elements are advantageously arranged in the inner surface. Preferably, the seat cover is a knitted fabric. More preferably, the seat cover is a tubular knitted fabric or a flat knitted fabric.
[0027] The underlying problem is solved by the interior fittings of a means of transport, in particular a means of passenger transport, which include at least one seating arrangement according to one of the preceding embodiments. The interior fittings can be equipped with all the features already described above in relation to the seating arrangements, either individually or in combination, and vice versa. Preferably, the interior fittings comprise a plurality of seating arrangements. According to a preferred embodiment, the at least one seating arrangement is fixed in place or movable on the means of transport by means of a guide device, in particular a rail device. The guide device can be arranged on the floor or a wall element of the means of transport. The seating arrangements can thus advantageously be housed in a storage area of the means of transport, for example, a rail vehicle.The transport vehicle's interior space could thus be filled with bulky luggage, such as bicycles. Depending on requirements, a certain number of seating arrangements can be moved from the storage area into the passenger compartment and secured at specific locations. This can be achieved using convenient locking mechanisms.
[0028] Finally, a means of transport, in particular a means of passenger transport, for example a rail vehicle, is provided which has at least an interior fitting or at least a seating arrangement.

[0031] In the Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3, Fig. 4, Fig. 5, Fig. 6, Fig. 7, Fig. 8, Fig. 9, Fig. 10, Fig. 11, Fig. 12, Fig. 13, Fig. 14, Fig. 15, Fig. 16, Fig. 17, Fig. 18 to Fig. Figure 19 shows a seating arrangement 1 for a means of transport 101, in particular for a means of transport, wherein the seating arrangement 1 can be arranged on or in the means of transport 101 by means of a fastening device 5, wherein the seating arrangement 1 is designed and suitable for providing a sitting position at standing height, wherein the seating arrangement 1 comprises at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b which is arranged on the fastening device 5 by means of at least one bearing axis 22, wherein the at least one receiving device 23, 23a, 23b is arranged on a fastening element 25 which is designed as an arm element 5, 25a, 25b extending along a height axis Z. In the following, a coordinate system with a height axis X, a width axis Y and a depth axis X is used for the seating arrangement.For at least one frame element, a coordinate system with a height axis X', a width axis Y', and a depth axis X' is used. Each axis can further define two directions. The at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b comprises an upper section 3 for back support and at least one integrated seat section 4, 4a, 4b within the at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b. The at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b thus fulfills the function of both a backrest and a seat. This provides an extremely simple and cost-effective seating arrangement 1.
[0032] In the Fig. Figures 1a to 2b and 4 show the seating arrangement 1, which comprises only a frame element 2 arranged on the fastening device 5. In the Fig. 5, Fig. 6, Fig. 7, Fig. 8, Fig. 9, Fig. 10, Fig. 11, Fig. 12 to Fig. Figure 13 shows seating arrangements 1, each comprising two frame elements 2, 2a, 2b. In the Fig. Figure 3 shows various swivel positions, which apply to both a seating arrangement 1 with one frame element 2 and a seating arrangement 1 with two frame elements 2, 2a, 2b. The seating arrangement 1 is designed and suitable for providing a standing-height seating position. Such seating arrangements 1 are also referred to as standing seats. The seating area is preferably arranged at a height between 40 cm and 150 cm, more preferably at a height between 50 cm and 130 cm. The seat height can advantageously be adjusted to the intended target users. Fig. 1a, Fig. Figure 1b, for example, shows a seating arrangement that is more suitable for children or elderly people. The seat height is preferably between 40 cm and 60 cm. Fig. 2a and Fig. Figure 2b shows a seating arrangement 1, which is more suitable for adults. The seat height would ideally be between 80 cm and 150 cm, preferably between 90 cm and 130 cm.
[0033] The at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b can be configured identically in the configuration of the seating arrangement 1 with one frame element 2, 2a, 2b as well as in the configuration of the seating arrangement 1 with two frame elements 2, 2a, 2b. The at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b is formed by a lower section 7 and an upper section 8. The lower section 7 comprises at least one first transverse section 9 extending substantially along a lateral axis Y, Y' and at least one second transverse section 10 extending substantially along a lateral axis Y, Y'. Preferably, the first and second transverse sections are formed in one piece or as a single unit. The first 9 and the second transverse section 10 can have recesses arranged in a honeycomb-shaped grid structure (see, for example, [reference]). Fig. 15) This allows the lower section to have a very low weight while still possessing sufficient stability. The upper section 8 further comprises a third transverse section 11 extending along the lateral axis Y, Y'. The two lateral axes Y, Y' are congruent here. The first transverse section 9 and the second transverse section 10 are spaced apart from the third transverse section 11 along the vertical axis Z'. The first transverse section 9 and the second transverse section 10 are connected by means of two strut elements 27. The at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b thus comprises an inner surface 28, which is bordered by the upper section 8 and the lower section 7, or by the third transverse section, the two strut elements 27, the first transverse section 9, and the second transverse section 10. The at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b is essentially trapezoidal in shape.The third transverse section 11 has a smaller width than the first 9 and second transverse section 10. The first transverse section 9 and the second transverse section 10 have a greater extent along a depth axis X' than the third transverse section 11. The first transverse section 9 or the second transverse section 10 form at least part of the seating area 4, 4a, 4b. The lower section 7 and the upper section 8 of the at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b form the at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b in one piece, as a single unit, or in multiple parts. In the . Fig. 4 and Fig. Figure 13 shows a one-piece embodiment of the frame element(s) 2, 2a, 2b in the area outlined by dashed lines. These figures also show a further embodiment of the frame element(s) 2, 2a, 2b, in which it / them are formed in two parts. The at least one frame element consists of a lower section 7 and an upper section 8, both sections 7 and 8 being U-shaped. For this purpose, the two strut elements 27 are interrupted and connected by means of a preferably detachable connection, preferably a plug connection. Such a detachable connection is, for example, a plug connection. Preferably, two sections of the strut element are plugged into each other. Advantageously, locking devices, such as pins, screws, bolts, etc., are provided by means of which the plug connection can be secured against unintentional loosening.
[0034] The at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b is pivotable about a pivot axis 6 extending along a lateral axis Y relative to the mounting device 5. The at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b is pivotable as a whole with respect to the pivot axis 6. Thus, both the upper area 3 for back support and the integrated seat area 4, 4a, 4b are simultaneously pivoted or rotated about the pivot axis 6. In contrast, in conventional seating arrangements, only the backrest is pivotable about a pivot axis. Preferably, the at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b is pivotable in at least two pivot positions 12a, 12b, 12c; more preferably, the at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b is pivotable in up to three pivot positions 12a, 12b, 12c. These pivot positions 12a, 12b, 12c are, for example, in the Fig. Figure 3. This figure also shows the double arrow 15, which further clarifies the pivot directions. The at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b can be pivoted into a first pivot position 12a, whereby the at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b extends in the first pivot position 12a) substantially perpendicular to a first fictitious plane 13, which extends parallel to the floor 102 of the transport vehicle 101. In other words, the at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b extends upright or substantially parallel to the vertical axis Z of the seating arrangement 1 in the first pivot position. In this pivot position, the seating arrangement 1 occupies only a minimal space along the horizontal axis, which essentially corresponds to the extent of the first 9 and second transverse section 10.The at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b is pivotable into a second pivot position 12b, which is inclined relative to the first pivot position 12a by an angle of inclination α. Furthermore, the at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b is pivotable into a third pivot position 12c, which is inclined relative to the first pivot position 12a by an angle of inclination β. A second fictitious plane 14 can be defined, which runs perpendicular to the first fictitious plane 13. In the first pivot position, the at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b is essentially located in the second fictitious plane 14. In the second 12b and the third pivot position 12c, the at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b forms the angle of inclination α and β, respectively, with the second fictitious plane 14.The at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b is inclined in opposite directions along the depth axis X in the second pivot position 12b and the third pivot position 12c. The inclination angles α and β thus have opposite signs (±) but the same magnitude. Preferably, the inclination angles α, β lie in a range between 10° and 80°, more preferably in a range between 20° and 70°, wherein the at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b and the second fictitious plane 14 enclose the inclination angles α, β.
[0035] Furthermore, a locking device 29 is provided by means of which the at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b can be locked in at least one pivot position 12a, 12b, 12c. Preferably, the at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b can be locked in the first 12a, the second 12b, and the third pivot position 12c. It would also be conceivable that the at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b can only be locked in the second 12b and the third pivot position 12c. It is also conceivable that the at least one frame element can assume at least the second and third pivot positions without any locking mechanism. Due to the inclination of the at least one frame element and an advantageous stop, the frame element remains in this corresponding pivot position 12b, 12c even without further locking.When the user occupies the seating arrangement, at least one frame element remains in the pivot position 12b, 12c. In the second pivot position 12b of the at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b, a first seating area 4, 4a is formed at least by the first transverse section 9. This is, for example, in the . Fig. 1a and Fig. 2a is recognizable. In the third pivot position 12c of at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b, a second seating area 4, 4b is formed at least by the second transverse section 10. This is evident, for example, in the Fig. 1b and Fig. 2b is recognizable. In the second pivot position 12b of the at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b, the first seating area 4, 4a extends essentially parallel to the first fictitious plane 13. In the third pivot position 12c of the at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b, the second seating area 4, 4b extends essentially parallel to the first fictitious plane 13. This essentially parallel extension of the first and second seating areas 4, 4a, 4b provides the occupant with a comfortable seating position.
[0036] In the Fig. Figures 11a to 11d and 12a to 12d show seating arrangements 1 with two frame elements 2, 2a, 2b in various swivel positions 12a, 12b, 12c. Fig. 11a to 11d differ from the Fig. 12a to 12d of the design of the fastening device 5. Seating arrangements 1 which include a fastening device 5 according to one of the further possible designs can, however, also assume these pivot positions shown. In the Fig. 11a and Fig. In position 12a, the two frame elements 2, 2a, 2b are in the second pivot position 12b. Thus, the first seating area 4, 4a is provided by each of the frame elements 2, 2a, 2b in the form of the first transverse section 9. In the Fig. 11d and Fig. In 12d, the two frame elements 2, 2a, 2b are in the third pivot position 12c. Thus, the second seating area 4, 46 is provided by each of the frame elements 2, 2a, 2b in the form of the second transverse section 10. In the Fig. 11b and Fig. In position 12b, the first frame element 2a is in the second pivot position 12b, thus providing the first seating area 4, 4a in the form of the first transverse section 9. The second frame element 2b is in the third pivot position 12c, thus providing the second seating area 4, 4b in the form of the second transverse section 10. In the Fig. 11c and Fig. In position 12c, the first frame element 2a is in the third pivot position 12c, thus providing the second seating area 4, 4b in the form of the second transverse section 10. The second frame element 2b is in the second pivot position 12b, thus providing the first seating area 4, 4a in the form of the first transverse section 9. This design allows seating groups consisting of such seating arrangements 1 to be flexibly and individually configured.
[0037] The at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b is arranged on the fastening device 5 by means of a bearing axis 22. The bearing axis 22 is received in at least one receiving device 23, 23a, 23b of the fastening element 5 such that the bearing axis 22 is rotationally fixed to the fastening device 5. Furthermore, the bearing axis 22 extends through a through-channel 24 of the at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b, whereby the at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b is pivotably arranged relative to the fastening element 5, or rather to the bearing axis 22. Fig. Figures 4, 13 and 15 to 17c show the bearing axis 22 in detail. The bearing axis 22 is essentially hollow cylindrical with a substantially circular cross-section, for example as a profile tube.
[0038] The bearing axis 22 has at least one, in this case two, stop elements 30, 31. These stop elements 30, 31 are designed as a recess in the outer surface 33 of the bearing axis. According to the invention, the recess extends over its entire length along the lateral axis Y of the bearing axis 22. At least one, in this case two, further stop element(s) 32a, 32b are arranged in the through-channel 24. These two stop elements 32a, 32b are designed as a projection on the inner surface 24a of the through-channel 24. According to the invention, the projection extends over its entire length along the lateral axis Y of the through-channel 24. The through-channel 24 can extend along the entire width of the at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b or at least along a substantial portion of its width.A substantial section comprises at least half, preferably at least three-quarters, of the total width of the frame element 2, 2a, 2b. The stop elements 30, 31 of the bearing axis 22 and the further stop elements 32a, 32b of the through-channel 24 are each arranged diametrically opposite one another. However, it would also be conceivable that only one stop element 30, 31, 32a, 32b is arranged on the bearing axis 22 and the through-channel 24. The lateral surface 33 of the bearing axis 20 has two outer areas 34 against which an inner surface 24a of the through-channel 24 abuts in such a way that rotation of the at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b relative to the bearing axis 22 is permitted. Along a circumferential direction 35 of the bearing axis 22, a stop element 30, 31 in the form of a recess is provided between the two outer areas 34.A radius 36 to the inner surfaces 30a, 31a of the stop elements 30, 31 is therefore smaller than a radius 37 to the outer areas 34. As in the . Fig. As can be seen in Figures 15 to 17c, the inner surfaces 30a, 31a are designed such that they curve outwards. During a pivoting movement of at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b, at least one further stop element 32a, 32b of the passage channel 24 is displaced along a circumferential direction 35 of the bearing axis 22 relative to the bearing axis 22. The further stop elements 32a, 32b, which are designed as projections, extend into the stop elements 30, 31 of the bearing axis, which are designed as recesses. The stop elements 30, 31 each have two stop surfaces 30b, 31b, 30c, 31c, which form the transition to the adjacent outer areas 34. In the second and third pivot positions 12b, 12c, the further stop elements 32a, 32b, which are designed as projections, lie against the diametrically opposite stop surfaces 30b, 31b, 30c, 31c of the anal gas elements 30, 31, which are designed as recesses.
[0039] Furthermore, a locking device 29 is provided by means of which the pivot positions 12a, 12b, 12c possible by pivoting can be locked. The locking device 29 is arranged on at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b or on the lower section 7. This is, for example, Fig. 14 is evident. The locking device 29 is located in the Fig. 16 to 17c are presented in detail. Fig. The second pivot position 12b is shown in 17c. In the Fig. 17b the third pivot position 12c. In the Fig. 16 and Fig. Figure 17a shows the first swivel position. For clarity, the following are shown in the Fig. Figures 17a to 17c show only some particularly relevant reference numerals. The locking device 29 comprises a first locking element 42, which can be engaged with at least one further locking element 46 of the bearing axis 22. Each pivot position 12a, 12b, 12c of the at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b is assigned a further locking element 46 of the bearing axis 22. The locking device 29 also comprises an operating element 39 by means of which the first locking element 42 can be displaced. Displacement of the first locking element 42 releases the engagement with the at least one further locking element 46 of the bearing axis 22.Furthermore, the locking device 29 comprises a retaining element 38 by means of which the locking device 29 is arranged on the at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b, preferably on a lower side of the at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b along the vertical direction Z', and preferably on the lower section 7 of the at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b. The retaining element 38 is attached to the frame element 2, 2a, 2b by means of a clip connection. However, other connections are also conceivable. The operating element 39 is arranged on the retaining element 38, with bearing elements 40 being provided between the retaining element 38 and the operating element 39. The operating element 39 is pivotably mounted on the first locking element 42 by means of an axis 41 and is thus rockerable. The bearing elements 40 are guided in a guide 38e of the retaining element 38. The first locking element 42 is designed in the form of a pin or a bolt.Furthermore, a return mechanism 43 in the form of a compression spring element is provided. This is actuated, or compressed, during the displacement movement to release the engagement. After actuation of the operating element 39, the first locking element 42 can be displaced by the return mechanism 43, thereby enabling engagement with at least one further locking element 46 of the bearing axis 22. The return mechanism, or compression spring 43, is arranged between the locking element 42 and the retaining element 38. For this purpose, the first locking element 42 has a radially outwardly projecting collar on which the compression spring rests. The locking element 42 is thus subjected to a spring force that presses the locking element 42 radially inward. In its rest state, the locking element 42 engages in a further locking element 46 of the bearing axis 22, which is configured as a recess or bore.Preferably, several recesses 46 are provided. These recesses 46 are arranged in the outer region 34 of the cylindrical surface 33 along the circumferential direction of the bearing axis 22. Advantageously, three recesses 46 are provided. The arrangement of the recesses 46 is such that in the predetermined pivot positions 12a, 12b, 12c, the locking element 42 can engage in a recess 46 corresponding to the respective pivot position. The first locking element 42 projects through an opening 38a of the retaining element 38, which is surrounded by an outwardly extending raised collar 38b. The return mechanism rests against the inside of the raised collar 38b. Two support sections 39a, 39b each rest on this collar 38b. The first support section 39a is opposite the second support section 39b along a circumferential direction 44. The control element 39 comprises two control sections 39c, 39d.The first operating section 39c is located opposite the second operating section 39d along a circumferential direction 44. Compared to the support sections 39a, 39b, the operating sections 39c, 39d are located further outwards along the circumferential direction 44 and along a radial direction 45. When the locking device 29 is operated, one of the operating sections 39c, 39d is pressed inwards in a radial direction 45. The respective operating section 39c, 39d can thus be moved into a respective exception area 38c, 38d of the holding element 38. Due to the spacing of the operating sections 39c, 39d from the support sections 39a, 39b and the contact of the support sections 39a, 39b on the collar 38b, a lever force acts on the axis 41, which is arranged centrally on the operating element 39 and connects it to the first locking element 42. The first locking element 42 is thus displaced radially outwards in direction 45.This displacement occurs against the spring force of the compression spring 43, thereby compressing the compression spring 43. The displacement releases the engagement of the locking element 42 with the respective recess 46, and at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b can be pivoted.
[0040] In the Fig. Figure 16 shows a rest position in which at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b is in the first pivot position 12a. The respective further stop element 32a, 32b of the passage channel 24 is located essentially centrally along a fictitious circular arc 47a, 47b of the first 30 or second stop element 31, respectively. The fictitious circular arc 47a, 47b extends between the first stop surface 30b, 31b and the second stop surface 30c, 31c. The first locking element 42 engages in the central recess 46 on the outer area 34 and thus locks this first pivot position 12a. In this first pivot position 12a, at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b is generally essentially perpendicular to the first fictitious plane 13 and is therefore in a stowed position. In the Fig. Figure 17a shows at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b in the first pivot position 12a in two views. In the upper view, the first operating section 39c of the operating element 39 has been actuated and thus moved radially inwards into the first exception area 38c of the retaining element 38. In the lower view, the second operating section 39d has been actuated and thus moved radially inwards into the second exception area 38d of the retaining element 38. The engagement of the first locking element 42 from the recess 46 is thus released, and the at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b can be pivoted into the desired pivot position. Fig. In position 17b, at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b is in the second pivot position 12b. The first additional stop element 32a of the at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b rests against the first stop surface 30a of the first stop element 30. The second additional stop element 32b of the at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b rests against the second stop surface 31b of the second stop element 31. The forces acting on the at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b by the user are transferred by these stops 30a, 31b from the at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b into the bearing axis 22 and thus into the fastening element 5. At least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b is locked in this pivot position 12b, since the first locking element 42 of the locking device 29 engages in the corresponding recess 46, which is assigned to this pivot position 12b, on the bearing axis 22. In the Fig. At position 17c, at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b is in the third pivot position 12c. The first additional stop element 32a of the at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b rests against the second stop surface 30b of the first stop element 30. The second additional stop element 32b of the at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b rests against the first stop surface 31a of the second stop element 31. The forces acting on the at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b by the user are transferred by these stops 30b, 31a from the at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b into the bearing axis 22 and thus into the fastening element 5. At least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b is locked in this pivot position 12c, since the locking element 42 of the first locking device 29 engages in the corresponding recess 46, which is assigned to this pivot position 12c, on the bearing axis 22.
[0041] Accordingly, the angles of inclination α, β are defined by the lengths of the fictitious circular arcs 47a, 47b. Furthermore, it is conceivable that the operating element 39 is arranged at a different position on the at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b. The operating element 39 could, for example, also be arranged on the upper section 8 of the at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b. A handle element 16 could also be provided, which is arranged on the upper section 8. The operating element 39 could be integrated into the handle element 16. With such an embodiment, the operating mechanism for actuating the first locking element 42 described above can be retained. The (lever) force described above, which acts on the axis 41, could be transmitted from the operating element 39 to the axis 41 by means of a transmission device.Such a (mechanical) transmission device could, for example, be a Bowden cable, an actuating rod, or a transmission device using gears. These transmission devices can preferably be arranged in or on the at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b. However, it would also be conceivable for the transmission device to transmit electrical signals that control an actuator. The actuator then actuates the locking element 42.
[0042] A seat cover 18 is arranged on or in the at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b. The seat cover 18 is in or over the inner surface 28, which is enclosed by the frame element 2, 2a, 2b, or by the upper section 8 and the lower section 7. If the at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b is designed as a single piece, the seat cover 18 can be tubular. Advantageously, a section of the tubular seat cover 18 could therefore be arranged on each side over the inner surface 28. This is, for example, in the Fig. 18a and Fig. 18b is recognizable. The tubular seat cover 18 comprises a first opening 48a, located at the top along the vertical axis Z', which is preferably closed by means of a seam and abuts the third transverse section 11. Furthermore, the tubular seat cover 18 comprises a second opening 48b, located at the bottom along the vertical axis Z', which is preferably closed by means of an openable closure and lies on or against the lower section 7. In a two-part embodiment of the at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b, a flat seat cover 18 can be used. This is shown in the Fig. 1a to 2b and 5 to 12d are indicated. The seat cover 18 is connected along its edge from bottom to top to the at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b. The seat cover 18 is connected to the two strut elements 27 and the third transverse section 11. For this purpose, a keder rail can be arranged, for example, on the inside of the two strut elements 27 and the third transverse section 11. The keder rail is provided on an inside side of the at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b and thus faces the inner surface 28. The seat cover 18 has a keder flap, which is arranged in or clamped in the keder rail.
[0043] Advantageously, the seat cover 18 is a knitted fabric. Such a knitted fabric is advantageously produced using a knitting machine. This advantageous use of a knitted fabric allows for a high degree of variability in the design of areas with different elasticities. Such knitted fabrics, which have both flexible and rigid, or firm, sections, can be produced very easily and cost-effectively compared to woven fabrics. Advantageously, the knitted fabric is produced using a 3D knitting process. This advantageous technique allows both flexible and rigid areas to be incorporated within a single knitted piece. It is advantageous that the seat cover 18 has at least two areas 19 and 20, which have different elasticities. The first area 19 has a lower elasticity than the second area 20. The second area 20 is elastically deformable by the application of a force.The first area 19 is arranged along the vertical axis Z' above the second area 20. Such a first area 19 can thus be designed and suitable for supporting the user's shoulder area. The second area 20, which has a higher elasticity, can then be arranged in or above a central and / or lower section of the inner surface 28 along the vertical axis Z'. Such a second area 20 can be designed and suitable for supporting the user's lower back and gluteal region. It would also be conceivable to provide further areas with different elasticities in the seat cover. Furthermore, the seat cover 18 is connected to the at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b at its edge from bottom to top. Under the influence of a force, the second area 20 forms a three-dimensional deformation 21, or bulge. This is shown in . Fig. Figure 3 is shown schematically. This force is applied by the user leaning against the seat. Accordingly, when pivoting from the second to the third pivot position or vice versa, the force is applied in the opposite direction, causing the three-dimensional deformation to also develop in the opposite direction. The seat cover 18 can have a third area 49, which is arranged along the vertical axis Z' below the second area. This third area 49 can be connected to the at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b by means of a preferably detachable connection. The third area 49 can be arranged on the first 9 and the second transverse section 10 and serve as seat padding. This is, for example, in the Fig. 18a and Fig. 18b is shown. The seat cover 18 can also have a gap or recess 50. The third area 49 and the second area 19 are therefore only connected via web-like sections, which are arranged on the strut elements 27 of the at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b. Alternatively, the second area 19 transitions into the third area 49 without interruption. This is shown, for example, in the Fig. 5 shown.
[0044] The seating area 4, 4a, 4b can be further enlarged if at least one additional element 17 is provided, which is arranged on the lower section 7 of the at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b. The additional element 17 increases the depth of the seating area 4, 4a, 4b. The additional element 17 can be arranged on the upper surfaces of the first and / or second transverse section or adjacent to the upper surfaces of the first and / or second transverse section. Such an additional element is in Fig. 3 is indicated and can be attached to the frame element 2, 2a, 2b by a force-fit and / or form-fit connection. Possible connections include clip connections, screw connections, plug connections, etc. The additional element 17 can also be used to fix the seat cover 18. An effective seating surface can thus be defined, which comes into contact with the user. The effective seating surface advantageously comprises the first or second seating area 4a, 4b and is preferably oriented substantially horizontally, or parallel to the first imaginary plane 13. This effective seating surface is provided by the first or second seating area, depending on the swivel position 12b, 12c. The effective seating surface can be provided, at least partially, by the upper surface of the first transverse section 9 or the upper surface of the second transverse section 10.It would also be conceivable, however, that further elements, layers, covers, padding, etc., are arranged on the upper surfaces of the transverse sections 9, 10, which then form at least the effective seating area in sections. The additional element 17 can also enlarge the effective seating area. Preferably, the effective seating area can be formed at least in sections by the additional element 17. However, it would also be conceivable that further layers, covers, padding, etc., are arranged on the additional element 17, which then form at least the effective seating area in sections. Advantageously, an effective seating area comprises the first or second seating area 4a, 4b of the at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b and a section of the second area 20 of the seat cover 18. The effective seating area can also include the transition between the third 49 and the second area 19 of the seat cover 18.
[0045] At least one handle element 16 is arranged on at least one strut element 27, or on the upper section 8, of the at least one frame element. Typically, the handle element is arranged on an outer side of the seating arrangement 1 that borders a passageway of the transport vehicle. If two passageways are provided, a handle element 16 can, of course, be provided on each outer side of the seating arrangement 1.
[0046] In the Fig. Figures 1a to 2b and 4 show a seating arrangement 1 with only one frame element 2. The fastening device 5 comprises two fastening elements 25 in the form of arm elements 25a, 25b, which extend along the vertical axis Z and terminate in a base element 26. Starting from the base element 26, the arm elements 25a, 25b also extend along the horizontal axis Y, so that they run obliquely upwards. A distance 53 between the first arm element 25a and the second arm element 25b decreases downwards along the vertical axis Z. At one upper end, the arm elements 25, 25a, 25b each have receiving devices 23, 23a, 23b for the bearing axis 22. The receiving devices 23, 23a, 23b can be formed integrally with the arm element, in one piece, or in multiple parts.In a transition zone leading to the receiving devices 23, 23a, 23b, the arm elements 25, 25a, 25b are advantageously oriented substantially parallel to the vertical axis Z. In a middle or lower region of the arm elements 25a, 25b, these are inclined with respect to a reference axis 61, which runs perpendicular to the fictitious first plane 13. An angle of inclination γ can thus be defined between this reference axis 61 and a central axis 62 of the arm elements 25, 25a, 25b. This angle of inclination γ depends on the ratio of the width of the base element 26 to the width of the support axis 22. This is illustrated by example in the figures. Fig. 8a and Fig. Figure 9a shows the angle of inclination γ to be in a range between 5° and 30°, preferably in a range between 10° and 20°. The arm elements 25, 25a, 25b can be designed as flat profiles. In this flat profile, a preferably circular recess can form the receiving devices 23, 23a, 23b. Furthermore, the receiving devices 23, 23a, 23b can be essentially cylindrical with a preferably circular cross-section. The base element 26 has a smaller extent along the lateral axis Y than the bearing axis 22, or than the distance between the receiving devices 23, 23a, 23b. Furthermore, a cover element 51 is provided on each side of the receiving device 23, 23a, 23b. The arm elements can be essentially straight or V-shaped, as shown in the figures. Fig. Figures 1a to 2b and 4 illustrate this. However, an approximately S-shaped or curved shape for the arm elements 25, 25a, 25b is also conceivable. The base element 26 is either directly attached to the base 102 of the transport means 101 or arranged on the base 102 of the transport means 101 in a way that allows it to be moved via a guide device. Such a design has the advantage that the base element is arranged centrally under the at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b. This allows for a symmetrical force application to the base element 26. This makes it possible to design the guide system 102 more simply. For example, if a rail system is used as the guide system 102, it is sufficient to use only one rail. Fig. 1a and Fig. 1b a fastening element 5 is provided which has a lower height. The base element 26 is designed only as a cross brace extending along the width axis Y and / or as a flat profile. Such seating arrangements 1 could, for example, be used by senior citizens or children. In the Fig. 2a and Fig. Figure 2b shows a seating arrangement 1 with a seat height suitable for adults. The base element 26 is designed as an essentially rectangular element, which includes two cross braces extending along the width axis Y. The upper cross brace along the height axis Z is intended as a footrest element 52. It would also be conceivable that a rotating device is arranged on or integrated into the base element 26. The mounting device 5, or the seating arrangement 1, could then be rotated about a rotation axis 54, which runs parallel to the height axis Z. This is shown in the Fig. 1b, Fig. 2b and Fig. 3 indicated by the double arrow 55.
[0047] The embodiments according to the Fig. 5, Fig. 6, Fig. 7, Fig. 8, Fig. 9, Fig. 10, Fig. 11, Fig. 12 to Fig. Figure 13 shows a seating arrangement 1 with two frame elements 2, 2a, 2b, which are arranged on the mounting device 5. The two frame elements 2, 2a, 2b are arranged side by side along the lateral axis Y. As already described, the two frame elements 2, 2a, 2b can be pivoted independently of each other about a common pivot axis 6 extending along a lateral axis Y relative to the mounting device 5 by the inclination angles α, β into the first, second, and third pivot positions 12a, 12b, 12c. The mounting device 5 can be configured in different ways. In all embodiments, a bearing axis 22 is provided, which extends along the seating arrangement and through the respective through channels 24 of the two frame elements 2, 2a, 2b. As already described, such a through channel 24 can essentially extend over the entire width of a frame element 2, 2a, 2b.A partial extension would also be conceivable. A locking device 29 is also provided on each of the two frame elements 2, 2, 2a, 2b. The bearing axis 22 is received in two receiving devices 23, 23a, 23b of the fastening device 5. Fig. Figure 13 is an exploded view of the seating arrangement analogous to the Fig. 4 shown. However, in the Fig. Figure 13 shows only 3 possible configurations of the fastening device 5. Of course, the other fastening devices 5 shown could also be used in the Fig. 13 are inserted. In these embodiments, at least one cover element 51 can also be provided to close the bearing axis 22. The bearing axis 22 is received in at least two receiving devices 23, 23a, 23b of the fastening device 5. Each of the receiving devices 23, 23a, 23b is arranged on a fastening element 25. According to the embodiments according to the Fig. In figures 5 to 11d, a first receiving device 23a is arranged between the first frame element 2a and the second frame element 2b. A further second receiving device 23b is arranged laterally to one of the two frame elements 2a, 2b, or on one of the two outer sides of the seat arrangement 1. The two receiving devices 23, 23a, 23b are essentially cylindrical with a substantially circular cross-section.
[0048] According to the embodiment as described Fig. In figures 5 to 6d, a second receiving device 23b is arranged on a fastening element 25 in the form of a plate-like first element 56, which can be attached to a wall element of the transport means 101. The first plate-like element 56 is therefore in a fastening plane 58 (see Fig. 6c) arranged, which extends essentially parallel to the second fictitious plane 14. Advantageously, the wall element of the transport means 101 includes the mounting plane 58. The first receiving device 23a is arranged on a mounting element 25 in the form of an arm element 25. This arm element 25 is designed as a cantilever. The arm element 25 thus extends from the first receiving device 23a to the mounting plane 58 and terminates in a second plate-like element 57, which is also arranged in the mounting plane 58 and can be arranged on the wall element of the transport means. Starting from the second plate-like element 57d, a lower projecting section of the arm element 25 extends obliquely upwards along the vertical axis Z. The lower projecting section forms an angle θ1 with the first fictitious plane 13, which lies in a range between 10° and 45°.An upper section of the arm element 25, adjoining the lower section, forms an angle θ2 with the first fictitious plane 13, which lies in a range between 45° and 90°. In the . Fig. Figure 5 shows a perspective view of this embodiment. Fig. 6a shows a front view and Fig. 6b a rear view of this embodiment. In Fig. 6c is a side view and in Fig. Figure 6d shows a bottom view of this embodiment. The embodiment according to the Fig. 11a to 11d is analogous to the embodiment according to the Fig. 5 to 6d. The only difference is that only one plate-like element 59 is provided. This third plate-like element 59 also extends into the mounting plane 58. Furthermore, the second receiving device 23b is arranged on this third plate-like element 59. Likewise, the arm element 25 terminates in the third plate-like element 59. The third plate-like element 59 can therefore also be understood as a merging of the first 56 and second plate-like elements 57. The plate-like elements 57, 58, 59 also have means by which they can be attached to the means of transport. These are, for example, bores intended for a corresponding screw connection. It is of course also conceivable that other similar fastening techniques could be considered.
[0049] In the embodiments according to the Fig. Figures 7 to 10d show two fastening elements 25 in the form of arm elements 25a, 25b, on which the receiving devices 23, 23a, 23b are arranged or integrated. Fig. 7 a perspective view of a first embodiment. Fig. 8a shows a front view and Fig. 8b a rear view of this first embodiment. In Fig. 8c is a side view and in Fig. Figure 8d shows a bottom view of this first embodiment. Fig. Figure 9 shows a perspective view of a second embodiment. Fig. 10a shows a front view and Fig. 10b a rear view of this second embodiment. In Fig. 10c is a side view and in Fig. Figure 10d shows a bottom view of this second embodiment. In these embodiments according to the Fig. In Figures 7 to 10d, both arm elements 25, 25a, 25b are designed as flat profiles and can be fixed to the base of the transport vehicle 101. For this purpose, a fastening area 60 is provided on each arm element 25, 25a, 25b, which has a section parallel to the base of the transport vehicle. This section may have bores to allow fastening, for example, by means of a screw connection. The two arm elements 25, 25a, 25b are inclined with respect to a reference axis 61, which runs perpendicular to the fictitious first plane 13. An angle of inclination γ can thus be defined between this reference axis 61 and a central axis 62 of the arm elements 25, 25a, 25b. This is illustrated by example in the Fig. 8a and Fig. Figure 9a shows the angle of inclination. The angle of inclination γ lies in a range between 5° and 20°, preferably in a range between 10° and 15°. The second receiving device 23b and the associated second arm element 25b are advantageously provided on an outer side of the seat assembly 1, on which a handle element 16 is also provided on the corresponding frame element 2, 2a, 2b. This allows the forces introduced into the seat assembly 1 by the handle element 16 to be effectively transferred via the second arm element 25a. The seat assembly 1 thus exhibits advantageously increased stability on its outer side. As with all the embodiments presented, the arm elements 25, 25a, 25b and the associated receiving devices 23, 23a, 23b can be designed as a single piece, in one piece, or in multiple parts. Likewise, the through channels 24 can extend essentially across the entire width of the frame element 2, 2a, 2b or only in sections. Fig. As can be seen, for example, in Figure 8d, the through-channel 24 extends only sectionally along the width direction Y'. The two receiving devices 23, 23a, 23b here comprise an extension element 63, which extends along the width direction Y' of the frame elements 2, 2a, 2b. The receiving devices 23, 23a, 23b and the corresponding extension element 63 can be formed in one piece, in one part, or in multiple parts. The extension element belonging to the first receiving device 23a extends from the space between the frame elements 2, 2a, 2b along the second frame element 2b. The extension element belonging to the first receiving device 23a extends from the outside to the space between the frame elements 2, 2a, 2b along the first frame element 2a. In contrast, according to the embodiment shown, the through-channel 24 extends Fig. 10d over a substantial portion of the width direction of the frame elements 2, 2a, 2b. A substantial portion is understood to be at least half, preferably three-quarters, of the total width extent of the frame element 2, 2a, 2b. In the embodiment according to the Fig. 7 to 8d, a footrest 52, or a foot support element, is provided on each arm element 25, 25a, 25b. This footrest 52 extends from the respective arm element 25, 25a, 25b essentially parallel to the first fictitious level 13, or the floor of the transport vehicle. Furthermore, the footrest 52 is essentially designed as a flat profile, which is formed in one piece or integrally with the respective arm element 25, 25a, 25b.
[0050] According to one embodiment according to the Fig. In figures 12a to 12d, the first receiving devices 23, 23a, and the second receiving devices 23, 23a, 23b of the fastening device 5 are arranged on the outer sides of the seat assembly 1. The two frame elements 2, 2a, 2b are thus arranged between the receiving devices 23, 23a, 23b. Only a preferably sleeve-shaped spacer element 64 is provided between the two frame elements 2, 2a, 2b. This fastening device 5 is analogous to the fastening device according to the Fig. 2a and Fig. 2b. The corresponding description is therefore analogous. The two curved, S-shaped or V-shaped fastening elements 25 in the form of arm elements 25a, 25b also terminate in a base element 26. In a middle or lower region of the arm elements 25a, 25b, these are inclined with respect to a reference axis 61, which runs perpendicular to the fictitious first plane 13. An angle of inclination γ can thus be defined between this reference axis 61 and a central axis 62 of the arm elements 25, 25a, 25b. This angle of inclination γ depends on the ratio of the width of the base element 26 to the width of the bearing axis 22. The angle of inclination γ lies in a range between 5° and 60°, preferably in a range between 10° and 50°. Thus, an advantageous symmetrical force transmission into the base element 26 can also be achieved.Furthermore, a rotary device can be provided analogously, by means of which the seat arrangement 1 can be rotated about an axis of rotation 54. This embodiment can also have the same further features and advantages as the embodiments in the [references]. Fig. 1a to 2b and 4.
[0051] In the Fig. Figure 19 shows an interior fitting 100 for a means of transport 101. This interior fitting 100 comprises a plurality of seating arrangements 1. These seating arrangements 1 are fixed to the floor of the means of transport 101 or guided by a guide system (not shown). This guide system can, for example, be a rail system and is preferably arranged on the floor of the means of transport 101. Alternatively, a guide system could be provided on a wall element of the means of transport 101. A certain number of seating arrangements 1 could thus initially be stored in a storage area 103 of the means of transport 101. As required, the necessary number of seating arrangements 1 can be distributed from the storage area 103 along the guide system 102 in the interior of the means of transport 101. This can be done manually or by an actuator. These seats should be modifiable to meet various needs.Such needs include, for example, adjusting the seat orientation with respect to the direction of travel or adjusting seating groups facing each other. If luggage, or oversized luggage, is present, fewer seat arrangements 1 can be removed from the storage area. Such an interior configuration 100 with seat arrangements 1 can provide over 25% more seating compared to a previous seating arrangement. In the first swivel position 12a, i.e., the upright orientation, the seat arrangements 1 occupy only the depth of seat section 4 of frame element 2, 2a, 2b along the depth axis X. The seat arrangements 1 can therefore be stored in an extremely space-saving manner. In the second and third swivel positions 12b, 12c, the seat arrangements 1 also require significantly less space in the depth direction X. The space requirement in the depth direction is determined by the tilt angle α, β and the required legroom.In seating arrangement 1, the user assumes a posture that is almost identical to standing. However, this posture requires significantly less space compared to the classic sitting position, in which the legs are bent at approximately a right angle. Seating arrangements 1 advantageously allow for extremely convenient adjustment of the seating orientation due to their swivel capability. This also makes it easy to modify seating groups. This is particularly useful, for example, in... Fig.Figure 19 shows the seating arrangements 1, each comprising two frame elements 2, 2a, 2b. A first seating group 104 is a group of four. The two frame elements 2, 2a, 2b of two consecutive seating arrangements 1 are inclined such that two users face each other. A second seating group 105 is a group of three. Here, one frame element 2a is oriented such that the user faces a seating arrangement with two frame elements 2a, 2b. The remaining frame element 2b is used as a single seat 106. In a third seating group 107, the seating arrangement 1 is used as a two-seater. Here, both frame elements 2a, 2b are inclined, or oriented, in the same direction.
