The separation element 36a is designed to separate the aircraft seating area 24a in the head area 30a from the surroundings 34a of the aircraft seating area 24a, in particular from the rest of the aircraft seating area and / or the aircraft cabin aisle. The separation element 36a is plate-shaped. The separating element 36a has a trapezoidal basic shape.The partition element 36a extends at least substantially in the seating direction 26a of the aircraft seat 12a. The partition element 36a extends at least 30 cm away from the backrest 14a in the seating direction 26a. A principal extension plane of the partition element 36a is oriented at least substantially orthogonal to the mounting plane. The principal extension plane of the partition element 36a is oriented at least substantially parallel to the seating direction 26a. In this case, the partition element 36a is rigidly designed. Alternatively, however, it would be conceivable for the partition element 36a to be at least partially flexible. The partition element 36a is movably mounted to the backrest 14a via the headrest 18a. The partition element 36a is arranged laterally on the headrest 18a. The partition element 36a is formed integrally with the headrest 18a. Alternatively, it would be conceivable that the separating element 36a could be retrofitted to the headrest 18a.The partition element 36a has a fixed end 38a, which is rigidly connected to the headrest 18a. The partition element 36a has a free end 40a, which is spaced apart from the fixed end 38a in the seating direction 26a. The partition element 36a has a vertical extension at the free end 40a that is greater than a vertical extension at the fixed end 38a. The partition element 36a extends at least partially beyond the upper edge 28a of the backrest 14a. The partition element 36a extends beyond the upper edge 28a of the backrest 14a at the free end 40a. The partition element 36a has a cover element 42a. The cover element 42a of the partition element 36a is made of a textile, in particular a fabric, or of leather, in particular an imitation leather. The partition element 36a is flame-retardant. The reference element 42a of the separating element 36a is made of the same material as the reference element 22a of the headrest 18a.The separating element 36a is movable in direction 20a at least substantially orthogonal to the mounting plane together with the headrest 18a. The separating element 36a is displaceable in direction 20a at least substantially orthogonal to the mounting plane in the same defined area as the headrest 18a.
[0032] The separating element 36a possesses virucidal properties. "Vircucidal properties" preferably refers to properties of the separating element 36a by which a viral nucleic acid can be destroyed, in particular a viral envelope can be denatured or removed, thereby reducing or completely preventing viral infectivity. Virucidal properties advantageously enable virus inactivation. This allows for particularly beneficial health protection. Advantageously, other units and / or elements of the aircraft seat 12a, in particular the seat base unit, the backrest 14a, and / or a table unit of the aircraft seat 12a (not shown in detail), can also exhibit virucidal properties, at least in certain areas. These can be identical to those of the separating element 36a.
[0033] In principle, it would be conceivable that the separating element 36a has a virucidal coating. The coating is self-disinfecting. The coating is applied to a surface of the separating element 36a.
[0034] Furthermore, it would be conceivable that the separating element 36a has a smooth surface that prevents the deposition of dirt, viruses, germs and / or bacteria on the separating element 36a and / or the reference element 42a of the separating element 36a. This would allow for advantageously simple and efficient cleaning and / or disinfection of the separating element 36a.
[0035] Alternatively or additionally, it would be conceivable for the separating element 36a to have a film. In this case, the film could replace the reference element 42a of the separating element 36a. The film of the separating element 36a could be designed to be peeled off and / or removed from the separating element 36a, particularly without tools. This would allow for a conveniently quick replacement of the film on the separating element 36a.
[0036] In principle, it would also be conceivable that the infection control partition 32a includes at least one disinfection module (not shown in detail) designed to automatically disinfect the partition 36a. This disinfection module could apply a disinfectant to the reference element 42a of the partition 36a or to the partition 36a itself. It would also be conceivable that the disinfection module is integrated into the partition 36a. Alternatively or additionally, it would be conceivable that the disinfection module includes at least one UV light source designed to irradiate the infection control partition 32a and / or the aircraft seat 12a with UV light in a defined manner. It would also be conceivable that the disinfection module could irradiate other, adjacent aircraft seats in a defined manner.
[0037] The infection control partition 32a includes a further partition 44a. The further partition 44a is identical to the partition 36a except for being a mirror image of the partition 36a. A main extension plane of the further partition 44a is aligned at least substantially parallel to the main extension plane of the partition 36a. The partition 36a, the headrest 18a, and the further partition 44a together form a U-shape that surrounds the head area 30a.
[0038] In principle, it would also be conceivable for the infection control partition 32a to include at least one light module and / or at least one sound module. The at least one light module and / or the at least one sound module could be integrated into the partition element 36a and / or into the further partition element 44a. The at least one light module could, for example, be designed as a reading lamp or as ambient lighting. The at least one sound module could, for example, be designed as a loudspeaker through which audio content from an in-flight entertainment system can be played back. This would provide a significantly higher level of comfort for a passenger seated in aircraft seating area 24a.
[0039] In the Figures 2 to 12Eight further embodiments are shown. The following descriptions and drawings are essentially limited to the differences between the embodiments, whereby, with regard to identically designated components, especially those with the same reference numerals, reference is also generally made to the drawings and / or the description of the other embodiments, in particular the Figure 1 , can be referred to. To
[0040] The distinguishing feature of the embodiments is the letter a, the reference numeral of the embodiment in the Figure 1 recreated. In the exemplary embodiments of the Figures 2 to 14 The letter a is replaced by the letters b to i.
[0041] In the Figures 2 and 3An aircraft seat device 10b is shown in a second embodiment, not according to the invention. The aircraft seat device 10b has a mounting unit (not shown in detail). The aircraft seat device 10b comprises an aircraft seat 12b. The aircraft seat 12b has a backrest 14b. The aircraft seat 12b has a seat base unit (not shown in detail). The aircraft seat 12b has a seating direction 26b. The aircraft seat 12b has a headrest 18b. The headrest 18b is movably mounted on the backrest 14b. The headrest 18b is displaceable in a direction 20b at least substantially orthogonal to the mounting plane within a defined range. The headrest 18b has a reference element 22b. The aircraft seat 12b forms an aircraft seat area 24b. The aircraft seat 12b forms a head area 30b.
[0042] The aircraft seating assembly 10b comprises a further aircraft seat 46b. The further aircraft seat 46b is designed at least substantially identically to the aircraft seat 12b. The aircraft seat 12b and the further aircraft seat 46b form a bench seat. In this case, the bench seat extends transversely to one direction of flight of the aircraft. The aircraft seat 12b and the further aircraft seat 46b are arranged directly adjacent to each other. The aircraft seat 12b and the further aircraft seat 46b are jointly supported on the support unit at the support level. The aircraft seat 12b and the further aircraft seat 46b are part of a row of seats (not shown in detail). The aircraft seating assembly 10b has at least one seat divider (not shown in detail). The seat divider is arranged directly between the aircraft seat 12b and the further aircraft seat 46b.Aircraft seat 12b and the other aircraft seat 46b are separated from each other only by the seat divider. The aircraft seat assembly 10b has at least one armrest 50b, which is arranged on the at least one seat divider. The armrest 50b is arranged between aircraft seat 12b and the other aircraft seat 46b. The armrest 50b is designed to pivot.
[0043] The aircraft seat assembly 10b includes an infection control partition 32b. The infection control partition 32b is designed to separate the aircraft seat area 24b in the head area 30b from an environment 34b of the aircraft seat area 24b, in particular from a further aircraft seat area 52b of the further aircraft seat 46b. In this case, the environment 34b is configured as the further aircraft seat area 52b of the further aircraft seat 46b. The infection control partition 32b is arranged on the backrest 14b of the aircraft seat 12b. The infection control partition 32b is arranged on the headrest 18b of the aircraft seat 12b. The infection control partition 32b is fixedly connected to the headrest 18b of the aircraft seat 12b. The infection control partition 32b is movably mounted relative to the backrest 14b.The infection control separation unit 32b can be moved in the direction 20b at least essentially orthogonally to the mounting plane together with the headrest 18b.
[0044] The infection control partition 32b comprises a partition 36b. The partition 36b is designed to be detachable from the headrest 18b. The partition 36b is intended to separate the aircraft seat area 24b in the head area 30b from the surrounding area 34b of the aircraft seat area 24b, in particular from the further aircraft seat area 52b of the aircraft seat 46b. The partition 36b is plate-shaped. A plate-shaped base body of the partition 36b is thin-walled. "Thin-walled" preferably means a material thickness of at least 3 mm that is substantially constant. The partition 36b has a rectangular base shape. A principal plane of extension of the partition 36b is aligned at least substantially parallel to the seating direction 26b. The separating element 36b has a fixed end 38b, via which the separating element 36b is coupled to the headrest 18b.The separating element 36b has a free end 40b, which is spaced apart from the fixed end 38b in the seating direction 26b. In this case, the separating element 36b has a vertical extension at the free end 40b that is at least substantially equal in length to a vertical extension at the fixed end 38b. The separating element 36b is rigid in this case. The separating element 36b is made of a plastic, a fiber-reinforced plastic, or a sheet metal. In this case, the separating element 36b does not have a reference element. However, it would be conceivable for the separating element 36b to have a reference element. It would also be conceivable for the separating element 36b to be transparent. The separating element 36b is arranged laterally next to the headrest 18b. The separating element 36b is arranged at least substantially between the aircraft seat 12b and the other aircraft seat 46b.An axis orthogonal to the support plane intersects the partition element 36b and the armrest 50b. The head area 30b extends at least from an imaginary lower plane that intersects a lower edge 54b of the partition element 36b, and from an imaginary upper plane that intersects a top edge 56b of the partition element 36b. In this case, the lower plane intersects a lowest point of the headrest 18b and the upper plane an uppermost point of the headrest 18b.
[0045] In contrast to the first embodiment, the second embodiment differs in particular in the connection of the infection control partition 32b to the headrest 18b. The infection control partition 32b has a fastening element 58b. The fastening element 58b is designed to connect the partition 36b to the headrest 18b. The fixed end 38b of the partition 36b is rigidly connected to the fastening element 58b. The fastening element 58b is arranged between the headrest 18b and the backrest 14b. The fastening element 58b contacts the headrest 18b. The fastening element 58b is designed to be detachable from the headrest 18b. The fastening element 58b is designed as an additional component to the headrest 18b. The fastening element 58b does not form part of the headrest 18b. The fastening element 58b is designed, at least substantially, as a plate.The mounting element 58b has a plate-shaped base body with thin walls. The mounting element 58b and the separating element 36b are formed integrally. A principal plane of extension of the mounting element 58b is oriented at least substantially orthogonally to the principal plane of extension of the separating element 36b. The infection control separation unit 32b is hingeless. The separating element 36b is fixed relative to the mounting element 58b.
[0046] The fastening element 58b has a recess 60b. The recess 60b is at least substantially rectangular. The recess 60b is formed as a cutout extending from a lower edge 62b of the fastening element 58b. A fastening element for the headrest 18b, not shown in detail, is arranged in the recess 60b. The fastening element of the headrest 18b secures the headrest 18b to the backrest 14b.
[0047] The fastening element 58b has several slots 64b. In this case, the fastening element 58b has three slots 64b. The slots 64b are located above the fastening element of the headrest 18b. The slots 64b are located above the recess 60b. The slots 64b are each configured as a through hole. The slots 64b are each configured as an elongated hole. The infection control partition 32b comprises two retaining elements 66b. The retaining elements 66b are each configured as a band. The retaining elements 66b are designed to connect the fastening element 58b to the headrest 18b. The retaining elements 66b surround the headrest 18b in a ring-like fashion. The retaining elements 66b are each guided through one of the slots 64b. This allows the fastening element 58b to be connected to the headrest 18b by friction and / or form-fitting means. In the present case, the retaining elements 66b are each designed as an elastic rubber band.In the present case, the two retaining elements 66b are guided through the outer of the three slots 64b, with one of the three slots 64b remaining unused. Alternatively, it would be conceivable that the infection control partition 32b has only one retaining element 66b, which is guided through the middle of the three slots 64b, with the outer slots 64b remaining unused. This would advantageously allow a single infection control partition 32b to be provided for differently configured headrests and / or headrest connections to the backrest 14b. In the present case, the retaining elements 66b are concealed by the cover element 22b of the headrest 18b. Alternatively, however, it would also be conceivable that the retaining elements 66b are arranged on an outer surface of the cover element 22b facing the passenger.In principle, it would also be conceivable that the reference element 22b of the headrest 18b is guided through the slots 64b, with the fastening element 58b being connected to the headrest 18b by means of the reference element 22b of the headrest 18b. In this case, the retaining elements 66b for connecting the fastening element 58b to the headrest 18b could be omitted. Alternatively, it would be conceivable that the infection control partition 32b has at least one retaining element designed as a hook and loop fastener, wherein the at least one retaining element is arranged between the recess 60b and an upper edge 68b of the fastening element 58b, in particular between the slots 64b and the upper edge 68b of the fastening element 58b, and is intended to be coupled to the headrest 18b.
[0048] Alternatively or additionally, it would be conceivable that the retaining elements 66b are connected to the fastening element 58b by means of snap fasteners. The snap fasteners can be arranged on the upper edge 68b of the fastening element 58b and / or on the lower edge 62b of the fastening element 58b.
[0049] In principle, it would also be conceivable that the retaining elements 66b are each designed as a cable tie, wherein the retaining elements 66b connect the fastening element 58b to the headrest 18b, in particular to the fastening means of the headrest 18b.
[0050] Alternatively, it would also be conceivable that the infection control partition 32b comprises at least one hook-and-loop fastener that connects the fastening element 58b directly to the headrest 18b, in particular to the cover element 22b of the headrest 18b. Part of the hook-and-loop fastener is arranged on a side of the headrest 18b facing the backrest 14b. A corresponding further part of the hook-and-loop fastener is arranged on a side of the fastening element 58b facing the headrest 18b.
[0051] The infection control separation unit 32b has a stiffening element 70b. The stiffening element 70b is designed to stiffen the separation element 36b relative to the fastening element 58b. Furthermore, the stiffening element 70b is designed to prevent twisting of the fastening element 58b. The stiffening element 70b is plate-shaped. A principal plane of extension of the stiffening element 70b is aligned at least substantially parallel to the mounting plane. The principal plane of extension of the stiffening element 70b is aligned at least substantially orthogonal to the principal plane of extension of the separation element 36b and to the principal plane of extension of the fastening element 58b. The stiffening element 70b is formed integrally with the separation element 36b.The stiffening element 70b forms a projection at the upper edge 56b of the separating element 36b, extending into the aircraft seat area 24b of the aircraft seat 12b. The stiffening element 70b is integrally formed with the fastening element 58b. The stiffening element 70b forms a projection at the upper edge 68b of the fastening element 58b, extending into the aircraft seat area 24b of the aircraft seat 12b. It is conceivable that the stiffening element 70b rests on the headrest 18b. Alternatively, it is conceivable that the infection control partition 32b has several stiffening ribs formed by the separating element 36b. These stiffening ribs extend in the seating direction 26b.Additionally or alternatively, it would be conceivable that the infection control separation unit 32b has several stiffening elements at the rear end 38b, which stiffen the separation element 36b relative to the fastening element 58b.
[0052] The infection control partition 32b includes an optional edge protector 72b in this case. The edge protector 72b is designed to protect the passenger from injury caused by a free edge, particularly a sharp one, of the thin-walled partition element 36b. The edge protector 72b can be made, for example, of rubber and / or foam. The edge protector 72b surrounds at least one free edge of the partition element 36b. The edge protector 72b surrounds at least one free edge of the fastening element 58b. The edge protector 72b surrounds at least one free edge of the stiffening element 70b.
[0053] In the Figures 4 and 5An aircraft seating device 10c is shown in a third embodiment, not according to the invention. The aircraft seating device 10c has a mounting unit (not shown in detail). The aircraft seating device 10c comprises an aircraft seat 12c. The aircraft seat 12c has a backrest 14c. The aircraft seat 12c has a seat base 16c. The aircraft seat 12c has a seating direction 26c. The aircraft seat 12c may, in principle, have a headrest. In the present case, the aircraft seat 12c does not have a headrest. The aircraft seat 12c forms an aircraft seating area 24c. The aircraft seat 12c forms a head area 30c. The aircraft seating device 10c has at least one armrest 50c.
[0054] The aircraft seat assembly 10c includes an infection control partition 32c. The infection control partition 32c is designed to separate the aircraft seat area 24c at the head end 30c from an environment 34c of the aircraft seat area 24c. The infection control partition 32c is arranged on the backrest 14c of the aircraft seat 12c. The infection control partition 32c is coupled to the backrest 14c of the aircraft seat 12c. The infection control partition 32c includes a partition element 36c. The partition element 36c is designed to be removable from the backrest 14c. The partition element 36c is designed to separate the aircraft seat area 24c at the head end 30c from the environment 34c of the aircraft seat area 24c.
[0055] In contrast to the first and second embodiments, the infection control separation unit 32c from the third embodiment is directly connected to the backrest 14c.
[0056] The partition element 36c is L-shaped. The partition element 36c is partially located laterally next to the backrest 14c. The partition element 36c is partially located above the backrest 14c. A principal extension plane of the backrest 14c intersects the partition element 36c. The partition element 36c extends at least partially beyond an upper edge of the backrest 14c. In this case, the partition element 36c is rigidly designed. The partition element 36c has a free end 40c. The free end 40c is spaced from the backrest 14c in the seating direction 26c. A maximum extension of the partition element 36c in a direction transverse to the seating direction 26c and parallel to the support plane is greater than a maximum extension of the backrest 14c in a direction transverse to the seating direction 26c and parallel to the support plane. The partition element 36c has a reference element 42c. In this case, the reference element 42c is made of artificial leather.In principle, it is conceivable that the separating element 36c and / or the cover element 42c are padded. In the present case, the aircraft seat 12c has an anti-macassar 168c. The anti-macassar 168c is arranged on the separating element 36c. The anti-macassar 168c is connected to the cover element 42c by means of a hook and loop fastener.
[0057] The aircraft seat 12c has a literature pocket 74c. The literature pocket 74c is located on the rear side of the backrest 14c. The literature pocket 74c is integrated into the backrest 14c in an upper area. The aircraft seat 12c has a table unit 76c, which is located on the rear side of the backrest 14c. The table unit 76c has a table 78c. When folded down, the table 78c is directly adjacent to the literature pocket 74c. The literature pocket 74c has at least one opening in the material towards the table 78c. A plane parallel to the mounting plane intersects the head area 30c and the literature pocket 74c. A plane parallel to the mounting plane intersects the table 78c of the table unit 76c and the literature pocket 74c.
[0058] The infection control partition 32c has a fastening element 80c. The fastening element 80c is designed to connect the partition element 36c to the backrest 14c. The fastening element 80c is integrally formed with the partition element 36c. The reference element 42c spans the partition element 36c and the fastening element 80c. The fastening element 80c extends at least 10 cm from a lower edge 54c of the partition element 36c in the direction of the support plane. The fastening element 80c is at least partially located in the literature pocket 74c. The fastening element 80c is designed to be inserted into the literature pocket 74c in a direction at least substantially orthogonal to the support plane. The fastening element 80c arranges the separating element 36c in at least one direction, in particular the seating direction 26c, in a plane parallel to the mounting plane at least in a form-fitting manner in the literature pocket 74c.This allows for a conveniently simple arrangement of the infection control partition 32c on the backrest 14c. In principle, it would be conceivable for the fastening element 80c to have at least one locking element by means of which the fastening element 80c can be positively locked into the literature pocket 74c and / or onto a component of the backrest 14c adjacent to the literature pocket 74c. For example, it would be conceivable for the at least one locking element to engage in the at least one opening in the material of the literature pocket 74c in order to lock the fastening element 80c into the literature pocket 74c. This would advantageously prevent the fastening element 80c from being moved out of the literature pocket 74c.
[0059] The infection control partition 32c has an additional fastening element 170c. This additional fastening element 170c is designed as a hook-and-loop fastener. The additional fastening element 170c is arranged on a surface of the partition 36c that rests on the backrest 14c and faces the mounting plane. The additional fastening element 170c is coupled to a hook-and-loop fastener located on the upper edge of the backrest 14c. This allows the partition 36c to be connected to the backrest 14c particularly advantageously. The anti-Makassar visor 168c of the aircraft seat 12c is designed to be coupled to the hook-and-loop fastener located on the upper edge of the backrest 14c without the infection control partition 32c being installed. This allows for particularly advantageous multiple uses of the hook-and-loop fastener located on the upper edge of the backrest 14c.
[0060] The infection control partition 32c has a further partition element 82c. The further partition element 82c is arranged at the free end 40c of the partition element 36c. The further partition element 82c is movably arranged on the partition element 36c. The further partition element 82c is pivotably attached to the partition element 36c. A pivot axis 104c, about which the further partition element 82c is pivotably mounted, is oriented transversely to the seating direction 26c. The pivot axis 104c, about which the further partition element 82c is pivotably mounted, is oriented at least substantially parallel to the mounting plane. The pivot axis 104c is spaced from the backrest 14c in the seating direction 26c. The infection control separation unit 32c has a storage unit 84c, which is designed to pivotally mount the further separation element 82c on the separation element 36c. The storage unit 84c is designed to hold the further separation element 82c in defined positions.The additional separating element 82c is designed to be reversibly bendable. The additional separating element 82c is intended to be bent, at least partially, into the aircraft seat area 24c. It would also be conceivable, in principle, that the additional separating element 82c is intended to be bent, at least partially, out of the aircraft seat area 24c. The additional separating element 82c is designed to be dimensionally stable after bending.
[0061] The further separating element 82c has a further reference element 86c ( Fig. 5 ), which at least substantially spans the further separating element 82c. The further reference element 86c is, in the present case, made of artificial leather and has a foam core.

The further aircraft seats 46d, 90d are designed at least substantially identically to the aircraft seat 12d. The aircraft seat 12d and the further aircraft seats 46d, 90d form a bench seat 48d. Aircraft seat 12d and the other aircraft seat 46d are located directly next to each other.Aircraft seat 12d and the other aircraft seats 46d and 90d are jointly mounted on the mounting platform via the mounting unit 88d. The aircraft seat assembly 10d has at least one seat divider 92d. The seat divider 92d is located directly next to aircraft seat 12d and on one outer side of the seat bench 48d. Alternatively, the seat divider 92d can also be located directly between aircraft seat 12d and the other aircraft seat 46d. The aircraft seat assembly 10d has at least one armrest 50d, which is attached to the at least one seat divider 92d. The armrest 50d is pivotable.
[0063] The aircraft seat assembly 10d includes an infection control partition 32d. The infection control partition 32d is designed to separate the aircraft seat area 24d, at least in the head area 30d, from an environment 34d of the aircraft seat area 24d, in particular from an aircraft cabin aisle area 94d. In the present case, the environment 34d is configured as the aircraft cabin aisle area 94d. The infection control partition 32d is arranged on the backrest 14d of the aircraft seat 12d. The infection control partition 32d can also be arranged on the headrest of the aircraft seat 12d. The infection control partition 32d can, in principle, be attached to the backrest 14d and / or the headrest as in the preceding embodiments. The infection control partition 32d includes a partition element 36d.The separating element 36d can be designed in principle identically to the separating elements 36a, 36b, 36c from the preceding embodiments. In the present case, the separating element 36d has a trapezoidal basic shape. The separating element 36d is arranged at least substantially between the aircraft seat 12d and an aircraft cabin aisle. Alternatively, the separating element 36d can also be arranged at least substantially between the aircraft seat 12d and the other aircraft seat 46d.
[0064] In contrast to the previous embodiments, the infection control separation unit 32d in the fourth embodiment differs in particular by an enlargeable separation of the aircraft seating area 24d.
[0065] The infection control partition 32d has a further partition 96d. The further partition 96d is transparent. Alternatively, the further partition 96d can also be opaque. The further partition 96d is connected to the partition 36d. The further partition 96d is arranged on a lower surface 98d of the partition 36d. The further partition 96d is at least partially integrated into the partition 36d. The further partition 96d is extendable towards the armrest 50d. The further partition 96d is trapezoidal. In this case, the further partition 96d is designed as a roller blind element and / or as a pleated blind element. The further partition 96d is intended to extend to the armrest 50d. The further partition 96d is intended to be coupled to the armrest 50d.The additional partition element 96d is connected in this case to the partition element 36d and to the armrest 50d. The additional partition element 96d has an armrest attachment area 100d in which the additional partition element 96d surrounds the armrest 50d in a ring-like manner. The infection control partition unit 32d has a storage unit 102d in this case. The storage unit 102d is arranged on or within the partition element 36d. The storage unit 102d is located on the underside 98d of the partition element 36d. The storage unit 102d is designed to store the additional partition element 96d. In principle, it would be conceivable that the storage unit 102d forms a winding unit intended to roll up and / or unroll the roller blind element, or that the storage unit 102d forms a storage space intended to accommodate the pleated blind element in a folded state.In principle, it would be conceivable that the infection control separation unit 32d includes a disinfection module (not shown in detail) designed to automatically disinfect the further separation element 96d and / or the separation element 36d, particularly when the further separation element 96d is stowed away. The disinfection module can be at least partially located within the storage unit 102d. It would be conceivable that the disinfection module applies a disinfectant when the further separation element 96d is rolled up and / or unrolled, and / or that the disinfection module irradiates the further separation element 96d with UV light during the rolling up and / or unrolling process.In principle, it would be conceivable that the electrical energy generated by the rolling up and / or unrolling of the further separating element 96d, in particular by means of an electrical generator of the disinfection module, is intended to be used for irradiating the further separating element 96d with UV light by means of a UV light source of the disinfection module.
[0066] Alternatively, the additional separating element 96d could be designed as a film or a textile. In this case, the additional separating element 96d would be stretched between the separating element 36d and the armrest 50d. It would be conceivable that the additional separating element 96d could be connected to the separating element 36d and / or the armrest 50d by means of snap fasteners and / or hook and loop fasteners.
[0067] In the Figure 7 and 8 An aircraft seat device 10e is shown in a fifth embodiment, not according to the invention. Figure 7 and 8Figure 1 shows two variations of the aircraft seat assembly 10e, whereby the following features apply to both figures unless explicitly stated otherwise. The aircraft seat assembly 10e has a mounting unit 88e. The aircraft seat assembly 10e comprises an aircraft seat 12e. The aircraft seat 12e has a backrest 14e. The backrest 14e of the aircraft seat 12e is fixed. The inclination of the backrest 14e of the aircraft seat 12e is fixed and cannot be adjusted by a passenger. The backrest 14e has a main extension plane. The aircraft seat 12e has a seat base unit 16e. The aircraft seat 12e has a seating direction 26e. The aircraft seat 12e may, in principle, have a headrest 18e ( Fig. 8The aircraft seat 12e forms an aircraft seating area 24e. The aircraft seat 12e forms a head section 30e. The aircraft seating assembly 10e comprises at least one further aircraft seat 46e. The at least one further aircraft seat 46e is designed at least substantially identically to the aircraft seat 12e. The aircraft seat 12e and the at least one further aircraft seat 46e form a bench seat 48e. The further aircraft seat 46e is arranged together with the aircraft seat 12e in a row of seats. The aircraft seat 12e and the further aircraft seat 46e are arranged directly next to each other. The aircraft seat 12e and the at least one further aircraft seat 46e are jointly supported on the support level by the support unit 88e. The aircraft seating assembly 10e has at least one seat divider 92e. The seat divider 92e is arranged directly between the aircraft seat 12e and the further aircraft seat 46e.Aircraft seat 12e and the other aircraft seat 46e are separated from each other only by the seat divider 92e. The aircraft seat assembly 10e has at least one armrest 50e, which is arranged on the seat divider 92e. The armrest 50e is located between aircraft seat 12e and the other aircraft seat 46e. The armrest 50e is pivotable.
[0068] The aircraft seat assembly 10e includes an infection control partition 32e. In contrast to the preceding embodiments, the infection control partition 32e is alternatively connected to the backrest 14e. The infection control partition 32e is coupled to the backrest 14e of the aircraft seat 12e and to a further backrest 106e of the second aircraft seat 46e. The second backrest 106e of the second aircraft seat 46e is fixed. The inclination of the second backrest 106e of the second aircraft seat 46e is fixed and cannot be adjusted by a passenger. The infection control partition 32e is arranged on the backrest 14e of the aircraft seat 12e and on the second backrest 106e of the second aircraft seat 46e. The infection control partition unit 32e is designed to be inserted between the backrest 14e of the aircraft seat 12e and the further backrest 106e of the further aircraft seat 46e.The infection control partition 32e can only be fully installed when the armrest 50e is in a functional position. The infection control partition 32e is designed to separate the aircraft seat area 24e, at least in the head area 30e, from its surroundings 34e, in particular from another aircraft seat area 52e of the other aircraft seat 46e. The infection control partition 32e is positioned at least partially between the backrest 14e of the aircraft seat 12e and the other backrest 106e of the other aircraft seat 46e. The infection control partition 32e can be installed and removed between the backrest 14e and the other backrest 106e without tools.
[0069] The infection control partition 32e has a fastening element 108e. In this case, the fastening element 108e is made of foam. Alternatively, it would also be conceivable for the fastening element 108e to be made of a combination of plastic and foam. The fastening element 108e is intended for fastening the infection control partition 32e and is designed to be positioned between the backrest 14e of aircraft seat 12e and the backrest 106e of the other aircraft seat 46e. The fastening element 108e is designed to be inserted between the backrest 14e of aircraft seat 12e and the backrest 106e of the other aircraft seat 46e. The fastening element 108e is designed to fill at least a large part of the gap 110e between the backrest 14e and the backrest 106e.The clearance 110e extends in this case from an upper edge of the seat divider 92e to an upper edge 28e of the backrest 14e. The fastening element 108e is designed to fill at least a large part of the clearance 110e between the backrest 14e and the further backrest 106e above the armrest 50e, up to the upper edge 28e of the backrest 14e. The main plane of extension of the backrest 14e intersects the fastening element 108e. The fastening element 108e is movable in a direction 112e, at least substantially parallel to the main plane of extension of the backrest 14e, for the purpose of installing and / or removing the infection control partition 32e. In principle, it would be conceivable for the backrest 14e of the aircraft seat 12e to be adjustable, with the inclination of the backrest 14e being adjustable by a passenger.In this case, the fastening element 108e could alternatively be mounted and / or dismounted, in particular by clipping it into place, and / or by pivoting the fastening element 108e between the backrest 14e and the further backrest 106e, for example, if the backrest 14e is pivoted towards the backrest 106e. This would allow for advantageously simple mounting of the infection control partition 32e even if the space above the top edge 28e of the backrest 14e is limited.
[0070] The fastening element 108e is positively engaged in at least one direction, particularly in the seating direction 26e, in a plane parallel to the mounting plane between the backrest 14e and the further backrest 106e. The fastening element 108e has an H-shaped cross-section, particularly in a plane at least substantially parallel to the mounting plane. The cross-section is at least substantially constant over the entire length of the fastening element 108e. The fastening element 108e has a groove 114e. The groove 114e is designed to partially receive the backrest 14e of the aircraft seat 12e. The backrest 14e extends into the groove 114e in a lateral area of the backrest 14e, which faces the further backrest 106e. The groove 114e extends over the entire length of the fastening element 108e. The backrest 14e forms a connection area.The attachment area is located in the lateral region of the backrest 14e. The groove 114e encompasses the attachment area. The fastening element 108e has a further groove 116e. This further groove 116e is designed to partially accommodate the further backrest 106e of the further aircraft seat 46e. The further backrest 106e extends into the further groove 116e in a lateral region of the further backrest 106e, which faces the backrest 14e. The further groove 116e extends over the entire length of the fastening element 108e. The further backrest 106e forms a further attachment area. This further attachment area is located in the lateral region of the further backrest 106e. The further groove 116e encompasses the further attachment area. The groove 114e and the further groove 116e are identical in design. In the present case, the groove 114e and the further groove 116e are each rectangular in shape.Alternatively, the groove 114e and the further groove 116e can each be U-shaped, V-shaped, or Ω-shaped. It would also be conceivable for the groove 114e to be asymmetrically shaped, particularly to adapt to the shape of the backrest 14e. The groove 114e and the further groove 116e are each located on opposite sides of the fastening element 108e. The groove 114e and the further groove 116e are aligned at least substantially parallel to the main plane of extension of the backrest 14e. It would also be conceivable for the groove 114e and the further groove 116e to be curved along the entire length of the fastening element 108e. This would allow the groove 114e to be advantageously adapted to the shape of the backrest 14e.The groove 114e and the further groove 116e each serve as a guide track for inserting the infection control separation unit 32e in the direction 112e between the backrest 14e and the further backrest 106e.
[0071] In principle, it would be conceivable that the fastening element 108e is firmly connected to the armrest 50e and / or to the seat divider 92e. It would also be conceivable that the infection control partition 32e has at least one retaining element which connects the fastening element 108e to the armrest 50e and / or to the seat divider 92e by frictional and / or positive locking. This retaining element can be designed as in the second embodiment.
[0072] Alternatively, the fastening element 108e could have a groove on only one side, with the fastening element 108e being arranged on the backrest 14e or on the other backrest 106e. In this case, the fastening element 108e could be clamped to the backrest 14e or the other backrest 106e. It would also be conceivable that the fastening element 108e could be directly connected to a cover of the backrest 14e and / or to a base frame of the backrest 14e. In this case, the fastening element 108e could also be connected to the backrest 14e by frictional and / or material-fit connections. Alternatively, the backrest 14e could have a mounting groove, which is provided, in particular, on the cover of the backrest 14e and / or on the base frame of the backrest 14e, into which the fastening element 108e engages, in particular by positive locking.
[0073] The infection control partition 32e has a partition element 36e. The partition element 36e is designed to separate the aircraft seat area 24e in the head area 30e from the surroundings 34e of the aircraft seat area 24e, in particular from the other aircraft seat area 52e. The partition element 36e is fixedly connected to the fastening element 108e. The partition element 36e is arranged frontally on the fastening element 108e. The partition element 36e is connected to the backrest 14e and to the other backrest 106e via the fastening element 108e. The partition element 36e is formed integrally with the fastening element 108e. The partition element 36e is plate-shaped. The partition element 36e has an L-shaped base ( Fig. 7 ) or at least an essentially triangular basic shape ( Fig. 8). Alternatively, the separating element 36e can also have a different shape that would appear suitable to a person skilled in the art. In the present case, the separating element 36e is at least partially flexible. Alternatively, however, it would be conceivable for the separating element 36e to be rigid. In the present case, the separating element 36e is made of foam. A principal extension plane of the separating element 36e is oriented at least substantially orthogonal to the support plane. The principal extension plane of the separating element 36e is oriented at least substantially parallel to the seating direction 26e. The separating element 36e has a fixed end 38e, which is rigidly connected to the fastening element 108e. The separating element 36e has a free end 40e, which is spaced apart from the fixed end 38e in the seating direction 26e. The separating element 36e extends at least partially beyond the upper edge 28e of the backrest 14e.The partition element 36e is arranged between the aircraft seat 12e and the other aircraft seat 46e. An axis orthogonal to the mounting plane intersects the partition element 36e and the armrest 50e. In this case, the partition element 36e is positioned at least 10 cm away from the armrest 50e. An axis orthogonal to the mounting plane intersects the partition element 36e and the seat divider 92e. The fastening element 108e and / or the partition element 36e can, in principle, have a reference element.
[0074] The aircraft seat unit 10e has an additional infection control partition unit 118e ( Fig. 8 The additional infection control separation unit 118e is identical in design to the infection control separation unit 32e. The additional infection control separation unit 118e is intended to separate the additional aircraft seat area 52e from another aircraft seat area 120e of another aircraft seat 90e, at least in an additional head area.
[0075] In the Figure 9An aircraft seating device 10f is shown in a sixth embodiment. The aircraft seating device 10f has a mounting unit (not shown in detail). The aircraft seating device 10f comprises an aircraft seat 12f. The aircraft seat 12f has a backrest 14f. The backrest 14f of the aircraft seat 12f can be adjustable or non-adjustable. In the present case, the backrest 14f is adjustable, allowing a passenger to adjust the inclination of the backrest 14f. The aircraft seat 12f has a seat base 16f. The aircraft seat 12f has a seating direction 26f. The aircraft seat 12f forms an aircraft seating area 24f. The aircraft seat 12f forms a head area 30f. The aircraft seating device 10f comprises a further aircraft seat 46f. The further aircraft seat 46f has a further backrest 106f.The additional backrest 106f of the additional aircraft seat 46f can be adjustable or non-adjustable. In the present case, the additional backrest 106f is adjustable, allowing a passenger to adjust its inclination. The additional aircraft seat 46f is at least substantially identical to the aircraft seat 12f. The aircraft seat 12f and the additional aircraft seat 46f form a bench seat 48f. The additional aircraft seat 46f is arranged together with the aircraft seat 12f in a row of seats. The aircraft seat 12f and the additional aircraft seat 46f are arranged directly adjacent to each other. The aircraft seat 12f and the at least one additional aircraft seat 46f are jointly supported on the support level by the support unit. The aircraft seat assembly 10f has a seat divider 92f. The seat divider 92f is arranged directly between the aircraft seat 12f and the additional aircraft seat 46f.Aircraft seat 12f and the other aircraft seat 46f are separated from each other only by the seat divider 92f. The aircraft seat assembly 10f has an armrest 50f. The armrest 50f is attached to the seat divider 92f. The armrest 50f is pivotally mounted on the seat divider 92f. The armrest 50f is located between aircraft seat 12f and the other aircraft seat 46f.
[0076] The aircraft seat assembly 10f includes an infection control partition 32f. In contrast to the fifth embodiment, the infection control partition 32f is alternatively connected to the backrest 14f. The infection control partition 32f is arranged on the backrest 14f of the aircraft seat 12f and on the further backrest 106f of the further aircraft seat 46f. The infection control partition 32f is designed to separate the aircraft seat area 24f, at least in the head area 30f, from an environment 34f of the aircraft seat area 24f, in particular from another aircraft seat area which is arranged behind the aircraft seat 12f.The infection control separation unit 32f is intended to separate a further aircraft seating area 52f of the further aircraft seat 46f at least in a further head area from the surroundings 34f of the further aircraft seating area 52f, in particular from another aircraft seating area which is located behind the further aircraft seat 46f.
[0077] The infection control partition 32f has a partition element 36f. The partition element 36f is clamped between the backrest 14f of aircraft seat 12f and the other backrest 106f of the other aircraft seat 46f. The partition element 36f is designed to fill at least a large portion of the space 110f between the backrest 14f of aircraft seat 12f and the other backrest 106f of the other aircraft seat 46f. The partition element 36f is designed to fill at least a large portion of the space 110f between the backrest 14f and the other backrest 106f above the armrest 50f up to an upper edge 28f of the backrest 14f. In this case, the partition element 36f fills at least 50% of the space 110f. The partition element 36f is made of a textile and / or a film. The separating element 36f can be designed as a curtain. In principle, it is conceivable that the curtain could be designed as a one-way curtain.The separating element 36f can be designed to be replaced after each flight. The separating element 36f has an antiviral coating. The separating element 36f has an optional fold. In this case, the separating element 36f has three folds 134f, 136f, 138f. The folds 134f, 136f, 138f run essentially vertically. This allows for advantageous flexibility and a favorable predefined appearance of the separating element 36f.
[0078] The infection control partition 32f has a first fastening element 122f that is permanently connected to the backrest 14f. The partition element 36f is connected to the backrest 14f at its upper end 124f via the first fastening element 122f. The upper end 124f of the partition element 36f is located no more than 5 cm from the upper edge 28f of the backrest 14f. The first fastening element 122f is located in a lateral area of the backrest 14f that faces the other backrest 106f. The first fastening element 122f is connected to a panel of the backrest 14f by means of a force-fit, form-fit, and / or material-fit connection. It would also be conceivable for the first fastening element 122f to be connected to the backrest 14f by means of a locking element. This locking element could be designed in a Christmas tree-like configuration. Alternatively, the first fastening element 122f can be screwed or riveted to the backrest 14f.It would be conceivable that an insert, which in particular has a thread, is arranged in the backrest 14f's paneling. The first fastening element 122f is L-shaped. The first fastening element 122f forms two plates aligned orthogonally to each other, one plate being for connecting the first fastening element 122f to the backrest 14f and the other plate being for connecting the separating element 36f to the first fastening element 122f. Both the first plate and the other plate have a through-hole. The first fastening element 122f has a cylindrical extension 126f. The cylindrical extension 126f of the first fastening element 122f is designed as a coat hook for the backrest 14f.Preferably, for retrofitting the infection control separation unit 32f, a fastening means of a clothes hook already existing on the backrest 14f can be used for mounting the first fastening element 122f.
[0079] The infection control partition 32f has a further first fastening element 128f that is firmly connected to the further backrest 106f. The partition element 36f is connected to the further backrest 106f at its upper end 124f via the further first fastening element 128f. The further first fastening element 128f is located in a lateral area of the further backrest 106f, which faces the backrest 14f. The further first fastening element 128f is at least substantially identical to the first fastening element 122f.

The further first fastening element 128f has a further cylindrical extension, which is designed as a coat hook for the further backrest 106f.
[0080] The infection control partition 32f has a connecting element 130f. The connecting element 130f connects the first fastening element 122f to the second first fastening element 128f. In this case, the connecting element 130f is designed as an elastic cord. This allows the infection control partition 32f to adapt advantageously when the backrest 14f or the second backrest 106f is tilted. Alternatively, the connecting element 130f can also be designed as another type of rope, cord, wire, or chain that would be suitable to a person skilled in the art.
[0081] The separating element 36f is coupled to the connecting element 130f. The separating element 36f is connected to the connecting element 130f at the fold 136f of the separating element 36f, which is located at least substantially centrally between the backrest 14f and the further backrest 106f. The infection control separating unit 32f is coupled to the connecting element 130f at the upper end 124f of the separating element 36f. The infection control separating unit 32f has at least one eyelet 132f by means of which the separating element 36f is coupled to the connecting element 130f at its upper end 124f. In this case, the separating element 36f is connected to the first fastening element 122f and to the second first fastening element 128f by means of an eyelet (not shown in detail). Alternatively, it would be conceivable that the separating element 36f is materially bonded to the first fastening element 122f and the further first fastening element 128f.In principle, it would also be conceivable that the separating element 36f is formed in one piece with the first fastening element 122f and the further first fastening element 128f.
[0082] The infection control partition 32f has a second fastening element 140f that is permanently connected to the backrest 14f. The partition element 36f is connected to the backrest 14f at its lower end 142f via the second fastening element 140f. In this case, the lower end 142f of the partition element 36f is located between the upper edge 28f of the backrest 14f and the armrest 50f. The lower end 142f of the partition element 36f is at least 15 cm away from the armrest 50f, particularly in the armrest 50f's standard operating position. The second fastening element 140f is located in the lateral area of the backrest 14f that faces the other backrest 106f. The second fastening element 140f is arranged in a force-fit, form-fit and / or material-fit manner on a covering of the backrest 14f.In principle, it would be conceivable that the second fastening element 140f is connected to the backrest 14f by means of a snap-fit element. Alternatively, the second fastening element 140f can be screwed or riveted to the backrest 14f. It would also be conceivable that a further insert, which in particular has a thread, is arranged in the backrest 14f's paneling. The second fastening element 140f is L-shaped. The second fastening element 140f forms two plates aligned orthogonally to each other, one plate being for connecting the second fastening element 140f to the backrest 14f and the other plate being for connecting the separating element 36f to the second fastening element 140f.
[0083] The infection control partition 32f has a second fastening element that is permanently connected to the second backrest 106f. The second fastening element is located in the Figure 9Not visible. The second fastening element is at least substantially identical to the second fastening element 140f. The separating element 36f is connected to the second backrest 106f at its lower end 142f via the second fastening element. The second fastening element is located in the lateral area of the second backrest 106f facing the backrest 14f. The second fastening element is connected to a panel of the second backrest 106f by means of a force-fit, form-fit, and / or material-fit connection.
[0084] In the present case, the separating element 36f is connected to the second fastening element 140f and to the further second fastening element by means of an eyelet (not shown) of the infection control separation unit 32f. Alternatively, it would be conceivable that the separating element 36f is materially bonded to the second fastening element 140f and the further second fastening element. It would also be conceivable, in principle, that the separating element 36f is formed integrally with the second fastening element 140f and the further second fastening element.
[0085] In principle, it would be conceivable that the infection control separation unit 32f has a further connecting element at the lower end 142f of the separation element 36f, wherein the further connecting element is preferably designed analogously to the connecting element described above.

[0095] In the Figure 12An aircraft seating device 10h is shown in an eighth embodiment. The aircraft seating device 10h has a mounting unit 88h. The aircraft seating device 10h comprises an aircraft seat 12h. The aircraft seat 12h has a backrest 14h. In this case, the backrest 14h is adjustable. However, the backrest 14h can also be non-adjustable. The aircraft seat 12h has a seat base unit 16h. The aircraft seat 12h has a seating direction 26h. The aircraft seat 12h forms an aircraft seating area 24h. The aircraft seat 12h forms a head area 30h. The aircraft seating device 10h comprises two further aircraft seats 46h and 90h. The further aircraft seat 46h has a further backrest 106h. The further backrest 106h of the further aircraft seat 46h is adjustable in this case. In principle, the additional backrest 106h can also be designed to be non-adjustable.The other aircraft seats 46h and 90h are at least substantially identical in design to aircraft seat 12h. Aircraft seat 12h and the other aircraft seats 46h and 90h form a bench seat 48h. Aircraft seat assembly 10h has a seat divider 92h. Aircraft seat assembly 10h has an armrest 50h.
[0096] The aircraft seat assembly 10h has an infection control partition 32h. In contrast to the sixth and seventh embodiments, the infection control partition 32h is alternatively connected to the backrest 14h and the other backrest 106h.
[0097] The infection control partition 32h is located on the backrest 14h of aircraft seat 12h and on the other backrest 106h of the other aircraft seat 46h. The infection control partition 32h is designed to separate aircraft seat area 24h, at least in the head area 30h, from its surroundings 34h, in particular from another aircraft seat area located behind aircraft seat 12h. The infection control partition 32h is designed to separate another aircraft seat area 52h of the other aircraft seat 46h, at least in its head area, from its surroundings 34h, in particular from another aircraft seat area located behind the other aircraft seat 46h.
[0098] The infection control partition unit 32h has a partition element 36h. The partition element 36h is clamped between the backrest 14h of the aircraft seat 12h and the other backrest 106h of the other aircraft seat 46h. In the Figure 12The partition element 36h is shown in a taut position. However, it would also be conceivable that the partition element 36h is not taut between the backrest 14h and the other backrest 106h. In this case, the partition element 36h would be curved around an axis that is at least substantially orthogonal to the mounting plane. The partition element 36h is designed to fill at least a large portion of the space 110h between the backrest 14h of aircraft seat 12h and the other backrest 106h of aircraft seat 46h. The space 110h extends from the armrest 50h to an upper edge 28h of the backrest 14h. The partition element 36h is positioned between the upper edge 28h of the backrest 14h and the armrest 50h. In this case, the partition element 36h fills at least 90% of the space 110h. An upper end 124h of the separating element 36h is at most 5 cm away from the upper edge 28h of the backrest 14h.In the present case, the separating element 36h has a straight outer contour at its upper end 124h. Alternatively, it would also be conceivable for the separating element 36h to have a curved outer contour at its upper end 124h. A lower end 142h of the separating element 36h is at most 5 cm away from the armrest 50h. It would also be conceivable for the lower end 142h of the separating element 36h to have a greater distance from the armrest 50h. The separating element 36h is made of a textile and / or leather, in particular imitation leather. Alternatively, it would also be conceivable for the separating element 36h to be made of a coated paper material. The separating element 36h is preferably made at least partially of an elastic material. This allows for advantageous adaptation of the separating element 36h when the backrest 14h and / or the further backrest 106h are pivoted.In principle, it would be conceivable that the separating element 36h only has elastic properties in one connection area to the backrest 14h and / or another connection area to the further backrest 106h.
[0099] The backrest 14h has a cover element 164h. The cover element 164h is made of a textile and / or leather, in particular synthetic leather.

The divider element 36h is sewn to the cover element 164h. The divider element 36h is sewn to the additional cover element 166h. Alternatively, the divider element 36h could have at least one piping strip, which is arranged in a piping rail of the backrest 14h and / or in another piping rail of the additional backrest 106h. Alternatively, the divider element 36h could be connected to the backrest 14h and / or the additional backrest 106h by means of at least one zipper, at least one hook and loop fastener, and / or at least one snap fastener. The hook and loop fastener could be attached directly to the cover element 164h of the backrest 14h.This would allow for a conveniently simple connection of the partition element 36h to the backrest 14h. Alternatively, it would be conceivable that the partition element 36h is clamped between the cover element 164h and a panel of the backrest 14h.
[0101] The separating element 36h comprises at least one shaping element, which is not shown in detail. This shaping element is designed to provide dimensional stability to the separating element 36h. It is also designed to align and / or curve the separating element 36h in a defined manner. The shaping element is incorporated into the separating element 36h. It can be configured as a cord, wire, band, rod, and / or spring element. It can be made of plastic and / or metal. In principle, shaping elements could be arranged at the upper end 124h of the separating element 36h, in a middle region of the separating element 36h, and / or at the lower end 142h of the separating element 36h. This would allow for a particularly advantageous appearance of the separating element 36h.Furthermore, this can advantageously prevent the formation of dirt traps, thus providing an advantageously hygienic infection control separation unit for 32 hours.
[0102] Advantageously, the infection control partition 32h has at least one predetermined breaking point, which is not shown in detail. This predetermined breaking point is designed to decouple the backrest 14h from the other backrest 106h in the event of a crash when a defined force is applied to the backrest 14h, the other backrest 106h and / or the partition element 36h.
[0103] The infection control partition unit 32h includes at least one optional storage unit 158h. The storage unit 158h is designed to hold small personal items belonging to a passenger, in particular a face mask, a disinfectant wipe, disinfectant, and / or other hygiene items deemed suitable by a professional. The storage unit 158h can also be used to hold other items, such as a passport, boarding pass, safety card, waste bag, menu, and / or reading material. The storage unit 158h has at least one pocket 160h, which is attached to the partition element 36h. The pocket 160h is integrated into the partition element 36h. The pocket 160h is sewn and / or welded to the partition element 36h. In this case, the pocket 160h is located in an upper area of the partition element 36h.In principle, the pocket 160h can also be arranged at another location on the separating element 36h that appears suitable to a person skilled in the art. An opening of the pocket 160h points towards the upper end 124h of the separating element 36h. The pocket 160h can be accessible from a rear side 162h of the separating element 36h or from a front side of the separating element 36h. The [unclear text] Figure 12 The shown format of the 160h bag is an example. The actual format of the 160h bag can differ from the one shown. The opening of the 160h bag could also be on the side.
[0104] The aircraft seat assembly 10h includes an additional infection control partition 118h. This additional infection control partition 118h is identical in design to the infection control partition 32h.
