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 transporting a large number of people and include, for example, rail vehicles or aircraft. Examples of such rail vehicles are local and / or long-distance trains, commuter trains, subways, and similar systems.

[0003] There is a need to make the best possible use of the available space in such means of transport. Ideally, as many passengers as possible should be able to fit into 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 contrast, providing standing room allows significantly more passengers to fit into the vehicle. However, standing room often means an unacceptable loss of travel comfort, especially on longer journeys.

[0004] Another disadvantage of current seating arrangements is their inability to 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.

[0005] 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.

[0006] 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.

[0007] Furthermore, document DE 10 2010 000 259 A1 is known. This document describes a multi-layered woven fabric comprising at least one textile backing layer and at least one layer of plasticized polyvinyl chloride. The textile backing layer may be knitted.

[0008] 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.

[0009] The problem is solved by the subject matter of claims 1, 13 and 14. Advantageous embodiments are described in the dependent claims.

[0010] 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 comprises at least one frame element with an upper section designed and suitable for supporting the back, and at least one seating area integrated into the at least one frame element.

[0011] At least one frame element thus fulfills the function of both a backrest and a seat. This results in an extremely simple and cost-effective seating arrangement.

[0012] 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.

[0013] Preferably, the seating arrangement is designed and suitable to provide a standing-height seating position. The seating area is therefore arranged at a height that allows sitting or leaning at standing height. Such seating arrangements are also referred to as standing seats. Advantageously, the seating area is arranged at a height between 40 cm and 150 cm, more preferably at a height between 40 cm and 130 cm. The seat height can advantageously be adapted to the intended target users. For example, a seating arrangement intended for children or elderly people would preferably have a seat height in the range of 40 cm to 60 cm. A seating arrangement for adults would more likely have a height in the range of 80 cm to 150 cm, more preferably in the range of 80 cm to 130 cm.

[0014] Passengers of the transport vehicle are thus 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".

[0015] The seating arrangement according to the invention, by virtue of its design with a seat integrated into at least one frame element, already exhibits a smaller depth compared to conventional seating arrangements. Since the at least one frame element already includes an integrated seat, no additional seat component is necessary or provided. Due to its 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 approximately 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 seating arrangement according to the invention thus has a considerably shallower depth than a conventional seat.

[0016] Therefore, seating will be provided to as many passengers as possible, ensuring acceptable travel comfort. Furthermore, the available space in the means of transport will be used as efficiently as possible.

[0017] According to the invention, 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 that extends along a height axis (Z') and along a width axis (Y'). Preferably, this base surface is configured as a polygon. Preferably, the base surface is configured as a quadrilateral. Preferably, the base surface is configured essentially as a rectangle or essentially as a trapezoid.

[0018] 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 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 text.

[0019] According to the invention, the lower section comprises at least a first transverse section extending substantially along a first lateral axis (Y') and a second transverse section extending substantially along a first lateral axis (Y'). According to the invention, the upper section comprises a third transverse section extending along the first lateral axis (Y'). The first and second transverse sections extend along a depth axis (X'). This extension is greater than that of the third transverse section. According to the invention, the first or the second transverse section forms at least the seating area in sections.

[0020] Preferably, the first and second transverse sections extend in opposite directions along the depth axis. 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 height axis (Z') and connected by means of two strut elements. The first and second transverse sections have a greater extension along a depth axis (X') than the third transverse section.

[0021] It is advantageous that the lower and upper sections enclose an inner surface. Similarly, the first and second transverse sections enclose the two strut elements, and the third transverse section encloses the inner surface. Thus, at least one frame element is essentially plate-like, with the first and second transverse sections having an increased depth at the lower end along the vertical axis, thereby forming the seating area, at least in sections.

[0022] According to the invention, 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 pivotable as a whole with respect to a pivot axis. Thus, both the upper area for back support and the 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.

[0023] 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 into 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 is pivotable 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 is pivotable into a third pivot position, which is inclined relative to the first pivot position by an angle of inclination (β).

[0024] Advantageously, a second fictitious plane can be defined, which runs perpendicular to the first fictitious plane. Advantageously, the at least one frame element is arranged essentially in the second fictitious plane in the first pivot position. 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 fictitious plane.

[0025] It is advantageous that at least one frame element is inclined in opposite directions along a depth axis (X) in the second and third pivot positions. Advantageously, the inclination angle (α) and the tilt angle (β) thus have opposite signs (±). Preferably, however, the inclination angle (α) and the tilt angle (β) have 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 and the second fictitious plane enclose the inclination angles (α, β).

[0026] In 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 intended pivot positions by means of the locking device.

[0027] When at least one frame element is pivoted into the first pivot position and locked in this position, it is oriented upright and essentially arranged 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 corresponds essentially 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 along the depth axis in the first pivot position. Because the at least one frame element occupies very little space when in an upright position, efficient storage 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.

[0028] 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.

[0029] Advantageously, at least one frame element can be pivoted into the first pivot position, the second pivot position, and the third pivot position, and advantageously 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 inclination angles (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 seat orientation to the direction of travel. With some means of transport, such as rail vehicles, a change of direction can occur during travel. This can happen, for example, when entering or exiting a terminal station.Some users, however, experience discomfort when traveling backwards. By simply switching from, for example, the second to the third swivel position, the orientation of the seat arrangement can be easily adjusted to the direction of travel.

[0030] According to a further preferred embodiment, the at least one frame element is pivotable into the first pivot position and the second pivot position and advantageously lockable in these pivot positions. An embodiment in which the at least one frame element is pivotable into the first pivot position and the third pivot position and advantageously lockable in these pivot positions would also be conceivable. According to these embodiments, the seating arrangement would thus still be designed in an upright pivot position for only one seating direction.

[0031] According to a further preferred embodiment, at least one frame element can be pivoted into the second pivot position and the third pivot position and advantageously locked 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.

[0032] Finally, it would be conceivable that at least one frame element can only assume the second pivot position or the third pivot position and is firmly locked or fixed in this pivot position.

[0033] 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 tilt angles would then be smaller than the tilt angles (α, β). This would allow the occupant to adjust the tilt of the upper section for back support according to their needs.

[0034] According to the invention, in the second pivot position of the at least one frame element, the first seating area extends parallel to the first imaginary plane, or horizontally. According to the invention, in the third pivot position of the at least one frame element, the second seating area extends parallel to the first imaginary plane, or horizontally. Preferably, the first transverse section comprises an upper surface which, in the second pivot position, extends parallel to the first imaginary plane. Advantageously, the second transverse section comprises an upper surface which, in the third pivot position, extends parallel to the first imaginary plane.

[0035] According to a further advantageous embodiment, at least one additional element is provided, which is arranged on the lower section of the at least one frame element. Advantageously, the additional element increases the depth of the seating area, or of the lower section, or of the first or second transverse section. The additional element can be arranged on the upper surfaces of the first and / or second transverse section or abutting the upper surfaces of the first and / or second transverse section. Advantageously, the additional element is connected to the at least one frame element by means of a force-fit and / or form-fit connection. This can be, for example, a clip connection, a screw connection, a tongue-and-groove connection, or another such connection.

[0036] Thus, an effective seating area can be defined that comes into contact with the user. Advantageously, the effective seating area comprises the first or second seating section and is oriented horizontally, or parallel to the first imaginary plane. This effective seating area is provided by the first or second seating section, depending on the swivel position. The effective seating area can be provided, at least partially, by the upper surface of the first transverse section or the upper surface of the second transverse section. However, it would also be conceivable that further elements, additional layers, covers, padding, etc., are arranged on the upper surfaces of the transverse sections, which then form the effective seating area, at least partially. Advantageously, an additional element can enlarge the effective seating area. Preferably, the effective seating area can be formed, at least partially, by the additional element.However, it would also be conceivable that further layers, covers, padding, etc. are arranged on the additional element, which then form at least part of the effective seating surface.

[0037] The first and second seating areas of the at least one frame element preferably extend along a depth axis (X') which is between 10 cm and 50 cm, more preferably between 15 cm and 40 cm.

[0038] 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 above 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.

[0039] Advantageously, the seat cover has at least two areas with different elasticities. Advantageously, a first area has lower elasticity than the second area. Advantageously, the second area is elastically deformable by the application of a force. Preferably, the first area is arranged along the vertical axis (Z') above the second area. Accordingly, the second area is arranged in a central and / or lower section of the inner surface of the at least one frame element along the vertical axis (Z'). However, an embodiment in which the second area with higher elasticity is arranged in a lateral area of ​​the inner surface would also be conceivable. The seat cover is preferably connected to the at least one frame element from bottom to top at its edges or is rigidly attached to it.Preferably, the seat cover in the second, lower, middle area is deformable by a corresponding force or load. Such a load arises, for example, from the occupant leaning against or into the seat cover. This deformation can advantageously be described as a three-dimensional deformation or as a bulge.

[0040] Advantageously, the seat cover is designed in such a way that the bulge formed in the second area is adjusted accordingly when swiveling from the second to the third swivel position and thus extends in the respective opposite direction.

[0041] Advantageously, an effective seating area comprises the first or second seating area of ​​at least one frame element and a section of the second area of ​​the seat cover.

[0042] The advantageous second section of the seat cover is therefore suitable and designed to support the occupant's lower back and gluteal region. Due to its increased elasticity, the seat cover can stretch in its lower section under load, creating a corresponding bulge. This bulge advantageously serves both as a seating surface and as support for the user's gluteal region and lower back.

[0043] Advantageously, the first upper section has less elasticity and is therefore stiffer or firmer. This section advantageously serves to support the user's shoulder area.

[0044] According to a further advantageous embodiment, the seat cover has a third area which is arranged along the vertical axis (Z') below the second area.

[0045] Preferably, this third area is connected to the at least one frame element. More preferably, this third area is connected to the first and / or second transverse section of the at least one frame element. It is advantageous that this connection is detachable. Such a connection could, for example, be a clamping connection, a plug connection, or a hook connection. It is also conceivable that the additional element described above serves to connect the third area of ​​the seat cover to the at least one frame element. For example, the third area of ​​the seat cover could be clamped between the at least one frame element and the additional element.

[0046] According to a further aspect of the invention, the third area of ​​the seat cover can serve as padding for the first and / or second seating area. For this purpose, more material from the seat cover can be incorporated into the third area, resulting in increased thickness. Alternatively or cumulatively, the third area could be lined with an additional material possessing good padding properties. Such a material could also be applied to the outside of the third area. The third area of ​​the seat cover is thus advantageously arranged on the first and / or second seating area of ​​the at least one frame element and optionally on the additional element.

[0047] In a further advantageous embodiment, the second area transitions seamlessly into the third area. Advantageously, the effective seating area therefore also includes the transition between the third and second areas. As already described, the effective seating area can also comprise a section of the second area of ​​the seat cover.

[0048] According to a further advantageous embodiment, a recess is provided between the second and third areas. Preferably, the recess extends over substantially the entire width of the inner surface. The second and third areas of the seat cover are therefore preferably connected only by web-like sections arranged on the longitudinal sections of at least one frame element.

[0049] It is also conceivable that the seat cover is not connected to the first transverse section. The seat cover would therefore not have a third section.

[0050] According to another preferred embodiment, the seat cover 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 sections, can be produced very easily and cost-effectively compared to woven fabrics.

[0051] The knitted fabric is advantageously produced using a 3D knitting process. This technique allows for the integration of both flexible and rigid areas within a single knitted piece. Furthermore, this method makes it easy to incorporate various stretch levels, different comfort zones, patterns, and colors. The process enables the production of numerous knitted covers in a single, uninterrupted run. Such a seat cover can ergonomically and individually adapt to the body. Manufacturing is simplified, as only the materials necessary for the seat cover are used. Additional padding elements are unnecessary. Suitable materials for the seat cover include polyester, polyamide, Tencel, and wool.Of course, other materials are also possible, which are suitable for knitting alone or in combination with other materials.

[0052] Advantageously, the knitted fabric features integrated reinforcing fibers that can withstand the highest mechanical tensile forces without undulation. Preferably, the reinforcing threads are wrapped by knitting threads in the 0° and 90° directions in such a way that no damage occurs to the reinforcing fibers. Such knitted fabrics with biaxial reinforcements can be produced as tubular or flat knits. Preferably, the reinforcing threads consist of glass, carbon, basalt, or aramid. The knitting thread preferably consists of polyester, polypropylene, or polyamide.

[0053] In a further advantageous embodiment, the seat cover is designed in a tubular form. Preferably, the seat cover is a tubular knit fabric. The tubular seat cover can advantageously be pulled over the at least one frame element and is thus preferably arranged on both sides over the inner surface of the at least one frame element. The tubular seat cover has two openings. A first opening is arranged along the vertical axis (Z') over the second opening. The first opening is advantageously closed. This can be achieved, for example, by sewing. The closed first opening preferably rests against the upper section, or the third transverse section, of the at least one frame element. After the tubular knit fabric has been pulled over the at least one frame element, the second opening can also be closed.This could be a re-openable closure, such as a zipper, snap fasteners, or similar. This would allow the seat cover to be replaced or cleaned as needed. The second opening could preferably also be located in the third section of the seat cover.

[0054] In a further advantageous embodiment, the seat cover is attached to the inside of at least one frame element. Such a seat cover can preferably be a flat knit fabric. Advantageously, the seat cover is attached to the inside of the strut elements and the third transverse section. For this purpose, for example, a keder rail can be arranged on the inside of at least one frame element. This keder rail thus faces the inner surface of the at least one frame element. The seat cover therefore preferably has a keder flap, which is arranged or clamped in the keder rail.

[0055] According to a further preferred embodiment, the lower and upper sections of the at least one frame element form the at least one frame element in one piece, as a single unit, or in more particular, as a two-part unit. 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 while 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 joined components and, in any case, cannot be separated from one another without being destroyed.

[0056] When using the advantageous tubular seat cover, the at least one frame element can be designed as a single piece or in one piece. The tubular seat cover is therefore preferably guided over the at least one frame element. A one-piece design has the advantage that the at least one frame element exhibits increased stability and rigidity. Furthermore, no additional connection options such as holes, plug connections, screws, etc., need to be provided.

[0057] In the advantageous multi-part embodiment of the at least one frame element, the at least one frame element consists of several parts which are preferably detachably connected to one another. Advantageously, the at least one frame element is designed in two parts and consists of the upper section and the lower section. It is advantageous that the two sections are U-shaped. For this purpose, the strut elements are advantageously interrupted and equipped with a detachable connection. Such a detachable connection is, for example, a plug-in connection. Preferably, two sections of the strut element are plugged into each other. Advantageously, locking devices, such as pins, screws, bolts, etc., are also provided by means of which the plug-in connection can be secured against unintentional loosening.

[0058] This design is particularly advantageous when a seat cover is to be attached to an inner side of at least one frame element, facing the interior surface. For this purpose, as already described, a piping rail can be arranged on the inside of the at least one frame element. A piping flap of the seat cover can then be inserted into such a piping rail. This insertion is particularly easy if the at least one frame element can be separated or is designed in multiple parts.

[0059] According to a further preferred embodiment, at least one bearing axis is provided by means of which the at least one frame element is arranged on the fastening device. Advantageously, only one bearing axis is provided. This bearing axis is received in at least one receiving element of the fastening device. Preferably, the bearing axis is received in two receiving elements of the fastening device that are separated from each other along the width axis (Y, Y').

[0060] The at least one bearing axis allows 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.

[0061] According to a further preferred embodiment, a passage channel for the bearing axis is provided at the lower end of the at least one frame element along a vertical axis (Z'). Advantageously, the bearing axis extends through the passage channel of the at least one frame element. Preferably, the passage channel is provided in the lower section of the at least one frame element. The passage channel can preferably extend over the entire width of the at least one frame element. More preferably, the passage 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 to at least three-quarters, of the total width of the at least one frame element. However, it would also be conceivable that the passage channel is not completely closed.Furthermore, it would be conceivable that the passage channel has at least one, preferably two, bearing areas, which are formed by or arranged on the at least one frame element. In the remaining length, the bearing axis could preferably be exposed.

[0062] According to a further preferred embodiment, the bearing axis is rotationally fixed, or mechanically rigidly connected 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 pivotable or rotatable relative to and on the bearing axis.

[0063] It is also conceivable that the bearing axis is rotationally fixed, or mechanically rigidly connected, to the at least one frame element. It is advantageous that the bearing axis is rotatably mounted in the at least one, preferably two, receiving device(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 device(s).

[0064] It would also be conceivable to provide two bearing axes, which are arranged on the lower section of 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.

[0065] Advantageously, at least one frame element is arranged between two receiving devices of the fastening element.

[0066] 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. 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.

[0067] In 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 element. Preferably, the mounting device comprises two arm elements that terminate in a base element, with each arm element having a receiving element for the bearing axis. The respective arm element and the receiving element are advantageously formed in one 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 taper downwards along the vertical axis (Z). Preferably, the arm elements are substantially V-shaped. This allows for an advantageous symmetrical force transmission into the base element.This design allows for extremely simple seating arrangements. The fastening element attaches directly to the bearing axis for the frame element. Therefore, any additional components for supporting the frame element are unnecessary.

[0068] 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. Such a guide system could, for example, be a rail system. Due to the advantageous convergence of the arm elements, the base element is positioned centrally beneath the frame element. This allows for an advantageously symmetrical force transmission into this base element. This has the advantage that the guide system can be designed much more simply. For example, only one rail can be provided on which the seating arrangement can be moved. Furthermore, it is advantageous to provide a locking device by means of which the seating arrangement can be locked in the desired position inside the transport vehicle.

[0069] 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.

[0070] As previously described, a first and a second outer surface of the seating arrangement can preferably be defined. If the seating arrangement comprises two frame elements, each outer surface of the seating arrangement is represented by one of the two frame elements. The previously described at least one handle element can be arranged on either of these outer surfaces. Advantageously, in an installed state, the outer surface with the handle element faces a passageway of the transport vehicle. It would, of course, also be conceivable to arrange at least one handle element on both outer surfaces and thus on both frame elements. This is advantageous, for example, if, in an installed state, both outer surfaces face a passageway of the transport vehicle. It would also be conceivable to arrange at least one handle element on each of the two inner sides of the frame elements. These could preferably be provided in addition to the handle elements located on the outer surfaces.

[0071] 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 mounting 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.

[0072] According to a further advantageous embodiment, only one bearing axis is provided. Advantageously, the bearing axis extends at least over the entire width of both 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.

[0073] 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. Preferably, at least one arm element is provided on which the first receiving device is arranged.

[0074] In another preferred embodiment, the fastening device comprises two arm elements. Advantageously, the first receiving device, arranged between the two frame elements, is located on a first arm element. The second receiving device is preferably located on a second arm element. The second receiving device and the second arm element are advantageously located on an outer side of the seat assembly.

[0075] Advantageously, at least one handle element is also located 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 therefore exhibits advantageously increased stability on its outer side.

[0076] Both arm elements can advantageously be fixed to the floor of the transport device. Alternatively, the arm elements could be fixed to a rail arrangement. This 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 hypothetical first plane. The angle γ lies in a range between 5° and 20°, preferably between 10° and 15°.

[0077] 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 imaginary plane.

[0078] According to a further preferred embodiment, the second receiving device is arranged on a fastening element. The receiving device can be attached to a wall element of the transport vehicle by means of the fastening element. The fastening element is thus arranged in a mounting plane that extends substantially parallel to the second imaginary plane. Advantageously, the wall element of the transport vehicle comprises the mounting plane. Preferably, such a wall element is a side wall of the transport vehicle. The first receiving device can be arranged on an arm element. This arm element can be designed as a cantilever or cantilever. The arm element thus extends from the mounting plane towards the first receiving device.Preferably, the arm element terminates in a second fastening element, which is also arranged in the mounting plane and can be attached to the wall element of the transport vehicle. Preferably, the arm element extends obliquely upwards from the second fastening element along the vertical axis (Z) to the first receiving device.

[0079] According to a further advantageous embodiment, instead of the aforementioned first and second fastening elements, only one fastening element is provided, which extends along the fastening plane. The arm element, or cantilever arm, preferably extends from this fastening element to the first receiving device. The second receiving device is preferably arranged on the fastening element. In other words, the aforementioned first and second fastening elements are combined into a single fastening element.

[0080] In a further preferred embodiment, the first and second receiving elements of the fastening device are arranged on the outer sides of the seat assembly. The two frame elements are thus arranged between the receiving elements. Instead of a receiving element, only a preferably sleeve-shaped spacer element is provided between the two frame elements. Preferably, the fastening device comprises two arm elements that terminate in a base element, with a receiving element for the bearing axis arranged on each arm 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 allows for an advantageous symmetrical force transmission into the base element.This design allows for extremely simple seating arrangements. The fastening element attaches directly to the bearing axis for the frame element. Therefore, any additional components for supporting the frame element are unnecessary.

[0081] 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. Such a guide system could, for example, be a rail system. Due to the advantageous convergence of the arm elements, the base element is positioned centrally beneath the two frame elements. This allows for an advantageously symmetrical force transmission into this base element. This has the advantage that the guide system can be designed much more simply. For example, only one rail can be provided on which the seating arrangement can be moved. Furthermore, it is advantageous to provide a locking device by means of which the seating arrangement can be locked in the desired position inside the transport vehicle.

[0082] In the embodiments described above, it is advantageous that the respective arm element and the respective receiving device are designed in one piece or as a single unit. Furthermore, the respective receiving device and the respective fastening element can preferably be designed in one piece or as a single unit.

[0083] The use of two mounting devices to support the continuous bearing axis ensures sufficient stability of the seating arrangement. A third mounting point is therefore unnecessary. This results in a seating arrangement with considerable material savings.

[0084] 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.

[0085] The underlying problem is solved by the interior design of a means of transport, in particular a means of passenger transport, which includes at least one seating arrangement according to one of the preceding embodiments. The interior design can be equipped with all the features already described above in relation to the seating arrangement, either individually or in combination, and vice versa.

[0086] Preferably, the interior design includes a number of seating arrangements.

[0087] In a preferred embodiment, 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 located 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 space of the means of transport could therefore be filled with bulky luggage, such as bicycles. As required, a specific number of seating arrangements can be moved from the storage area into the passenger compartment and secured at specific locations. This can be achieved by means of suitable locking devices.

[0088] 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.

[0089] Further advantages, objectives, and features of the present invention are explained with reference to the accompanying figures. Similar components may have the same reference numerals in the different embodiments.

[0090] The figures show: Fig. 1a, Fig. 1b a perspective view of a seating arrangement according to one embodiment; Fig. 2a, Fig. 2b a perspective view of a seating arrangement according to one embodiment; Fig. 3 a side view of a seating arrangement according to one embodiment; Fig. 4 an exploded view of a seating arrangement according to one embodiment; Fig. 5 a perspective view of a seating arrangement according to one embodiment; Fig. 6a - 6d a front view, a rear view, a side view and a bottom view of the embodiment according to Fig. 5; Fig. 7 a perspective view of a seating arrangement according to one embodiment; Fig. 8a - 8d a front view, a rear view, a side view and a bottom view of the embodiment according to Fig. 7; Fig. 9 a perspective view of a seating arrangement according to one embodiment; Fig. 10a - 10d a front view, a rear view, a side view and a bottom view of the embodiment according to Fig. 9; Fig. 11a - 11d Views of various possible swivel positions of a seating arrangement according to one embodiment; Fig. 12a - 12d Views of various possible swivel positions of a seating arrangement according to one embodiment; Fig. 13 an exploded view of a seating arrangement according to one embodiment; Fig. 14 Front view of a seating arrangement according to one embodiment; Fig. 15 an exploded view of a frame element according to one embodiment; Fig. 16 a sectional view of a frame element according to one embodiment; Fig. 17a - 17c Sectional views of a frame element in various pivot states according to one embodiment; Fig. 18a, Fig. 18b Views of a seating arrangement according to an embodiment with a seat cover; Fig. 19 Interior design of a means of transport.

[0091] In the Fig. Figures 1 to 19 show a seating arrangement 1 for a means of transport 101, in particular for a means of passenger 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 comprises at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b with an upper area 3 which is provided and suitable for supporting the back and at least one seat area 4, 4a, 4b integrated in the at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b. The at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b thus assumes the function of a backrest and equally the function of a seat. An extremely simple and cost-effective seating arrangement 1 is therefore provided.

[0092] The following 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.

[0093] 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. Figures 5 to 13 show seating arrangements 1, each comprising two frame elements 2, 2a, 2b. In the Fig. Figure 3 shows different swivel positions, which apply both to a seating arrangement 1 with one frame element 2 and to a seating arrangement 1 with two frame elements 2, 2a, 2b.

[0094] The seating arrangement 1 is designed and suitable for providing a seated position at standing height. 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.

[0095] The seat height can advantageously be adjusted to the intended target group. 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.

[0096] 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 have recesses arranged in a honeycomb-shaped grid structure (see, for example, [reference]). Fig. 15) This allows the lower section 7 to have a very low weight and yet 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 coincident here.

[0097] The first transverse section 9 and the second transverse section 10 are spaced apart from the third transverse section 1.1 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. The third transverse section 11 has a smaller width than the first 9 and second transverse section 10.

[0098] 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 partially the seating area 4, 4a, 4b.

[0099] 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, in one part, or in multiple parts. In the Fig. 4 and Fig. Figure 13 shows a single-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 detachable connection, preferably a plug-in connection.

[0100] 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 is shown. This figure also shows the double arrow 15, which further clarifies the directions of rotation.

[0101] The at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b is pivotable into a first pivot position 12a, wherein 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 means of transport 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.

[0102] 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.

[0103] 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.

[0104] In the second pivot position 12b of 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 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 parallel to the first fictitious plane 13. This parallel extension of the first and second seating areas 4, 4a, 4b provides the occupant with a comfortable seating position.

[0105] In the Fig. Figures 11a to 11d and 12a to 12d show seating arrangements 1 with two frame elements 2, 2a, 2b in different 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, 4b 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.

[0106] Such a design allows seating groups consisting of such seating arrangements 1 to be flexibly and individually tailored.

[0107] 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. 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.

[0108] 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 passage 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.

[0109] In the Fig. Figures 4, 13, and 15 to 17c show the bearing axis 22 in detail. The bearing axis 22 is essentially hollow cylindrical, for example, designed as a profile tube. Furthermore, the bearing axis 22 comprises at least one, preferably two, guide sections 30, 31, in each of which a guide projection 32a, 32b of the at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b is guided. The guide projections 32a, 32b are arranged in the passage channel 24 of the at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b and preferably extend over the entire length along the width axis Y of the passage channel 24. The passage channel 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 is at least half, preferably at least three-quarters, of the total width of the frame element.Likewise, the guide sections 30, 31 extend over the entire length of the bearing axis 22. The guide sections 30, 31 are diametrically opposed on the bearing axis 22. However, it is also conceivable that only one guide section 30, 31 is provided, in which a guide projection 32a, 32b is guided.

[0110] The lateral surface 33 of the bearing axis 20 has two outer regions 34 against which an inner surface 24a of the passage channel 24 abuts such that rotation of at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b relative to the bearing axis 22 is enabled. Along a circumferential direction 35 of the bearing axis 22, a guide section 30, 31 is provided between each of the two outer regions 34. These guide sections 30, 31 are designed as a kind of recess. A radius 36 to the inner surfaces 30a, 31a of the guide sections 30, 31 is thus smaller than a radius 37 to the outer regions 34. As shown in the Fig. As can be seen in Figures 15 to 17c, the inner surfaces 30a, 31a of the guide sections 30, 31 are designed such that they curve outwards. The guide sections 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 guide projections 32a, 32b abut the diametrically opposite stop surfaces 30b, 31b, 30c, 31c of the guide sections 30, 31.

[0111] 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 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. Sections 17a to 17c show only some particularly relevant reference symbols.

[0112] 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'. 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. An operating element 39 is arranged on the retaining element 38, with bearing elements 40 provided between the retaining element 38 and the operating element 39. The operating element 39 is attached to the retaining element 38 by means of an axle 41 and is thus rockerable. A locking element 42 in the form of a bolt is arranged on the operating element 39. Furthermore, a compression spring 43 is arranged between the locking element 42 and the retaining element 38.The locking element 42 is thus subjected to a spring force which presses the locking element 42 radially inwards. In its rest state, the locking element 42 engages in a recess or bore 46 of the bearing axis 22. 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.

[0113] The locking element 42 projects through an opening 38a in the retaining element 38, which is surrounded by an outwardly extending raised collar 38b. Two support sections 39a, 39b rest on this collar 38b. The first support section 39a is opposite the second support section 39b along a circumferential direction 44. The operating element 39 comprises two operating sections 39c, 39d. The first operating section 39c is 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 outward along the circumferential direction 44 and along a radial direction 45.

[0114] 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 retaining element 38. Due to the spacing of the operating sections 39c, 39d from the support sections 39a, 39b and the bearing surface of the support sections 39a, 39b on the collar 38b, a lever force acts on the axis 41, which is located centrally on the operating element 39 and connects it to the locking element 42. The locking element 42 is therefore displaced outwards in a radial direction 45. This displacement occurs against the spring force of the compression spring 43, which is thus compressed. The relocation 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.

[0115] 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 guide projection 32a, 32b of the passage channel 24 is located essentially centrally along a fictitious circular arc 47a, 47b of the first 30 or second guide section 31, respectively. The fictitious circular arc 47a, 47b extends between the first stop surface 30b, 31b and the second stop surface 30c, 31c. The 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 thus in a stowed position. 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 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.

[0116] In the Fig. In position 17b, at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b is in the second pivot position 12b. The first guide projection 32a of the at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b rests against the first stop surface 30a of the first guide section 30. The second guide projection 32b of the at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b rests against the second stop surface 31b of the second guide section 31. The forces acting on the at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b by the user are directed 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 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.

[0117] In the Fig. At position 17c, at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b is in the third pivot position 12c. The first guide projection 32a of the at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b rests against the second stop surface 30b of the first guide section 30. The second guide projection 32b of the at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b rests against the first stop surface 31a of the second guide section 31. The forces acting on the at least one frame element 2, 2a, 2b by the user are directed 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 locking device 29 engages in the corresponding recess 46, which is assigned to this pivot position 12c, on the bearing axis 22.

[0118] Accordingly, the angles of inclination α, β are defined by the length 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 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.

[0119] 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. 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.

[0120] In a two-part design of 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.

[0121] Advantageously, the seat cover 18 is a knitted fabric and has at least two areas 19, 20 with different elasticities. The first area 19 has a lower elasticity than the second area 20. The second area 20 is elastically deformable under a force. The first area 19 is positioned 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 positioned in or above a middle 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 include further areas with different elasticities in the seat cover.

[0122] Furthermore, the seat cover 18 is connected to 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 in Fig. Figure 3 is shown schematically. This force is applied by the user leaning against it. Therefore, when pivoting from the second to the third pivot position or vice versa, the force will be applied in the opposite direction, causing the three-dimensional deformation to also develop in the opposite direction.

[0123] 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. Figure 5 shows that the effective seating area also includes the transition between the third area 49 and the second area 19. Likewise, the effective seating area can also include a section of the second area 19 of the seat cover. 18

[0124] The effective seating area for the user is thus advantageously the seating area 4, 4a, 4b of the frame element and a lower section of the seat cover 18, which forms the curve, or the third area 49 of the seat cover 18, which serves as padding.

[0125] 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.

[0126] 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 arm elements 25, 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 25, 26 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 area leading to the receiving devices 23, 23a, 23b, the arm elements 25, 25a, 25b are advantageously oriented essentially parallel to the vertical axis Z.The arm elements 25, 25a, 25b can be designed as flat profiles. A preferably circular recess in this flat profile can form the receiving devices 23, 23a, 23b. Furthermore, the receiving devices 23, 23a, 23b can be substantially cylindrical with a preferably circular cross-section. The base element 26 has a shorter extension along the lateral axis Y than the bearing axis 22, or rather, than the distance between the receiving devices 23, 23a, 23b. A cover element 51 is also provided on each side of the receiving device 23, 23a, 23b. The arm elements can be substantially straight or V-shaped, as shown in the figures. Fig. Figures 1a to 2b and 4 are shown. However, an approximately S-shaped course for the arm elements 25, 25a, 25b is also conceivable.

[0127] 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 manner that allows it to be moved via a guide device. This 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. As a result, the guide system 102 can be designed 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 transverse brace extending along the width axis Y. 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 52. It would also be conceivable that a rotating device is attached to 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.

[0128] The embodiments according to the Fig. Figures 5 to 13 show 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 or only 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.

[0129] According to the embodiments as described in the Fig. In sections 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.

[0130] According to the embodiment as described Fig. 5 to 6d, the second receiving device 23b is arranged on a plate-like first fastening element 56, which can be attached to a wall element of the transport means 101. The first fastening 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 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 mounting 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 mounting 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 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 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. 6d shows a view from below of this embodiment.

[0131] 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 fastening element 59 is provided. This third fastening element 59 also extends in the fastening plane 58. Furthermore, the second receiving device 23b is arranged on this third fastening element 59. Likewise, the arm element 25 terminates in the third fastening element 59.

[0132] In the embodiments according to the Fig. Figures 7 to 10d show two arm elements 25, 25a, 25b, on which the receiving devices 23, 23a, 23b are arranged or integrated. This shows 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 view from below of this second embodiment.

[0133] In these embodiments according to the Fig. Figures 7 to 10d show that 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. 9a shown. The angle of inclination γ lies in a range between 5° and 20°, preferably in a range between 10° and 15°.

[0134] 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 therefore exhibits advantageously increased stability on its outer side.

[0135] As with all presented embodiments, 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 substantially over 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 section of the width direction of the frame elements 2, 2a, 2b. A substantial section shall be understood to be at least half, preferably three-quarters, of the total width extent of the frame element 2, 2a, 2b.

[0136] 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 means of transport.

[0137] 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 S-shaped or V-shaped arm elements 25, 25a, 25b also terminate in a base element 26. Thus, an advantageous symmetrical force transmission into the base element 26 can also occur. 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.

[0138] In the Fig. Figure 19 shows an interior fitting 100 for a transport vehicle 101. This interior fitting 100 comprises a plurality of seating arrangements 1. These seating arrangements 1 are fixed to the floor of the transport vehicle 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 transport vehicle 101. Alternatively, a guide system could be provided on a wall element of the transport vehicle 101. A certain number of seating arrangements 1 could thus initially be stored in a storage area 103 of the transport vehicle 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 transport vehicle 101. This can be done manually or by an actuator.

[0139] These seats should be modifiable to meet various needs. Such needs include, for example, adjusting the seat orientation relative 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 these 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 required in the direction of depth is determined by the angle of inclination α, β and the required legroom. In seating arrangement 1, the user assumes a sitting posture that is approximately equivalent to a standing posture. However, this sitting posture requires significantly less space compared to the classic sitting posture in which the legs are bent at approximately right angles.

[0140] The 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 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.
