Description

[0001] The invention relates to a seat for a passenger transport vehicle, comprising a backrest with a front and a back and a table arranged at the back of the backrest.

[0002] Furthermore, the invention relates to a vehicle for the transport of persons, comprising at least one such seat or a seat further developed as described below.

[0003] Currently, no individual lockable storage solutions are used in the passenger seating area of ​​passenger vehicles.

[0004] Patent EP 3 795 417 B1 describes a seat designed as a lockable cavity permanently integrated into the backrest. This has the disadvantage that additional space must be provided in the backrest, resulting in a greater backrest depth or reduced seating comfort.

[0005] Based on this, the invention aims to provide an improved seat with an individual storage solution.

[0006] This problem is solved by the seat of claim 1 and the vehicle of claim 12.

[0007] Advantageous designs and further developments are the subject of the respective sub-claims.

[0008] According to the invention, a seat for a passenger transport vehicle is provided. The seat comprises a backrest with a front and a back, and a table arranged at the back of the backrest. The table can be arranged in a folded position, an unfolded position, and a storage compartment position that forms a first storage compartment between the back of the backrest and the table.

[0009] According to the invention, a vehicle for the transport of persons is further provided, comprising at least one such seat or a seat further developed as described below.

[0010] The described solution has the advantage that the space is only created when needed by the passenger and only then does it encroach on the passenger's personal space. Furthermore, it prevents the backrest depth from increasing and / or the seating comfort from decreasing.

[0011] Furthermore, it is ensured that the familiar design of a folding table is retained and that a storage solution is provided in addition to the familiar elements.

[0012] The design according to the invention makes it inexpensive and easy to create an additional storage compartment.

[0013] Vehicles suitable for passenger transport are specifically adapted for passenger transport.

[0014] Further development of the seat may include the provision that the table can be locked in the storage compartment position by means of a locking device.

[0015] This ensures that only authorized persons have access to the storage compartment and that it can be locked against unauthorized access by means of the locking device.

[0016] Once the storage compartment is locked by the locking device, it will remain closed until an authorized person unlocks it.

[0017] In a further advantageous embodiment, the locking device comprises, in addition to mechanical means for locking the table, a lock. The lock can include a mechanical locking mechanism, such as a simple rotary lever, eyelets for a padlock, or a cylinder lock. It is also possible for the lock to include electronic mechanisms, such as a fingerprint scanner, a combination lock, or optical means such as a camera or scanner. Furthermore, the electronic mechanisms can include a wireless interface, such as a transceiver. Such a transceiver can, for example, use NFC, Bluetooth, ZigBee, or another common standard.

[0018] The locking device is to be distinguished from a locking device of the table, which prevents the table from unintentionally falling downwards from the folded position.

[0019] It is possible that the seat has a locking device in addition to the locking device.

[0020] In an advantageous design of the seat, it can be provided that the table, in the folded position, rests essentially against the back of the backrest.

[0021] This ensures that, in the folded position, the table does not encroach on the passenger's personal space and that the person to whom the table is assigned has as much space as possible available in the seating area.

[0022] Further development of the seat may provide that the table in the folded position is arranged in such a way that it is closer to the back of the seatback than in the storage compartment position.

[0023] This ensures that, when the table is not in the storage compartment position, the table in the folded position is closer to the back of the seatback, thus increasing the personal area of ​​the passenger to whom the table is assigned when the storage compartment is not needed.

[0024] In an advantageous embodiment of the seat, it can further be provided that the seat has a first flexible retaining element, preferably a net, which is arranged on the back of the backrest to form a first pocket which is designed to hold objects.

[0025] This provides a flexible holding element suitable for accommodating objects of varying sizes. The flexible holding element is designed to hold objects both in the storage compartment position and in the table's unfolded position.

[0026] In a further development of the seat, it may be provided that the first flexible retaining element is arranged in such a way that, in the folded position and in the storage compartment position of the table, it is located between the table and the back of the backrest.

[0027] This ensures that the flexible retaining element is covered by the table in both the folded-in and storage compartment positions. This prevents the storage compartment and / or the flexible retaining element, and any items inside, from being visible.

[0028] The design of the seat may include a connecting element that movably attaches the table to the back of the backrest.

[0029] Preferably, the registration element is designed such that the table can be moved relative to the back of the backrest in such a way that the distance of the table changes relative to the back of the backrest.

[0030] This allows the table's position relative to the back of the seat back to be changed when unfolded. It also allows the table to be positioned in the storage compartment.

[0031] Further development of the seat may provide that the connecting element is movably attached to the back of the backrest, and that the connecting element can be arranged in a retracted position and an extended position relative to the backrest.

[0032] It is possible that the table can be moved substantially or completely translationally opposite the back of the backrest.

[0033] In the design of the seat, it may also be provided that the connecting element has a swiveling device by means of which the table is pivotably attached to the connecting element between a swivelled-up position and a folded-down position.

[0034] This makes it possible to incorporate a pivoting device on the connecting element, allowing the table to be moved substantially or completely translationally. This is possible independently of any translational movement of the connecting element itself.

[0035] In a further development of the seat, it may be provided that in the storage compartment position the table is in the swivelled-up position and the connecting element is in the extended position.

[0036] This describes the configuration in which the table is arranged in the storage compartment position.

[0037] In the design of the seat, it may also be provided that the table and / or the connecting element and / or the back of the backrest has at least one movable locking element that can be arranged in the storage compartment position between the table and the back of the backrest and / or between the connecting element and the back of the backrest.

[0038] This provides a means of preventing any gaps from forming between the table and the back of the backrest, through which it would be possible to see into or access the storage compartment.

[0039] The flexible retaining element can be made of, for example, a textile material, a plastic, or a membrane. Semi-flexible, extendable, and / or foldable solutions are also conceivable.

[0040] The vehicle is preferably a track-guided vehicle.

[0041] The track-guided vehicle is, for example, a rail vehicle or a magnetic levitation train.
