[0003] The invention relates to a train seat layout according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
[0004] A train seat layout has already been proposed comprising a first train seat module having a passenger seat and a second train seat module having a passenger seat, the train seat modules being arranged adjacently in a longitudinal row of seats on one side of an aisle in a passenger compartment, with a table unit being intended to be mounted on the side of the vehicle and being arranged between the first train seat module and the second train seat module.
[0005] The object of the invention is, in particular, to provide a generic device with improved properties in terms of space requirements and variability while maintaining a high level of comfort. This object is achieved according to the invention by the features of patent claim 1, while advantageous embodiments and further developments of the invention can be found in the subclaims.
[0006] Advantages of the invention
[0007] The invention is based on a train seat layout with a first train seat module having a passenger seat and with a second train seat module having a passenger seat, wherein the train seat modules are arranged adjacently in a longitudinal row of seats on one side of an aisle in a passenger compartment, with a table unit which is intended to be attached to the side wall and is arranged between the first train seat module and the second train seat module.
[0008] It is proposed that the passenger seats of the train seat modules are each provided to be pivotable between a first seating position oriented in a first direction and a second seating position oriented in a second direction, wherein the passenger seat of the first train seat module, in its first seating position, directly faces the table unit for use, and the passenger seat of the second train seat module, in its second seating position, directly faces the table unit for use. A "train seat layout" should preferably be understood to mean a layout of train seat modules with passenger seats that are intended to be arranged in a passenger compartment of a train carriage. A "train seat module" should be understood to mean a module that comprises at least one passenger seat and other components of a passenger area.The train seat module is intended to be firmly mounted on a floor of the train carriage using appropriate fastening means. The train seat module is designed as a module that defines a passenger area and, for this purpose, comprises at least one housing unit that at least partially separates the passenger area from a remaining area in the passenger compartment, at least the passenger seat arranged in the passenger area, and other elements of the passenger area. A "passenger area" should preferably be understood to mean an area that a passenger has personally available in the passenger compartment, preferably while the passenger is using the train seat module, wherein preferably all parts of the one train seat module are arranged in the passenger area. The passenger seat of the train seat module is intended to provide a seat for a passenger in the passenger compartment.The passenger seat comprises at least a seat base and a backrest. Preferably, the passenger seat comprises at least one armrest. It would also be conceivable for the passenger seat to include a legrest. In principle, the passenger seat can comprise further attachments, such as preferably a headrest. Preferably, the passenger seat is adjustable, preferably electromechanically, between a sitting position and a comfort position, in particular a lying position. A “longitudinal row of seats” is to be understood as a row of train seat modules arranged one behind the other in the longitudinal direction of the train carriage or the passenger compartment. Preferably, two longitudinal rows of train seat modules are arranged in each passenger compartment, one on each side of an aisle of the passenger compartment designed as a central aisle.An "aisle of the passenger compartment" is understood to mean an aisle between two longitudinal rows of train seat modules, via which the train seat modules of the train seat layout are accessible. Preferably, exactly one aisle is provided as a central aisle. The aisle of the passenger compartment preferably extends at least substantially parallel to a central axis of the train carriage. A "table unit" is understood to mean a unit that forms at least one table surface and, for this purpose, has at least one table base body. The table unit is intended to provide a table surface for a passenger of the passenger seat facing the table unit. The table unit can preferably be formed solely from the table base body or from the table base body and at least one table element attached thereto.The term “mounted on the side of the train carriage” should preferably be understood to mean that a component such as the table unit is mounted in an area of a side wall of the train carriage. It is conceivable that the table unit is connected directly to the side wall of the train carriage. The table unit is preferably connected directly to the side wall of the train carriage via a force-locking and / or form-locking connection. For example, the table unit is screwed directly to the side wall. It is also conceivable that the table unit is connected to the side wall via a support. In principle, it is also conceivable that the table unit mounted on the side of the train carriage is mounted on the floor via a support structure in close proximity to the side wall. It is conceivable that the support structure is directly adjacent to the side wall. The table unit is connected to the floor of the passenger compartment via the support structure.Forces acting on the table unit are transmitted directly into the floor via the supporting structure. The fact that the table unit is arranged between the two adjacent train seat modules should preferably be understood to mean that the table unit is arranged in an area between the two train seat layouts. The passenger seats can be firmly locked in their seating positions. The passenger seats are oriented in the direction of a side wall and away from the aisle. The seating direction of the passenger seats is oriented away from the aisle in the direction of the side wall. The “seating direction of a passenger seat” should be understood to mean a direction which is parallel to a support plane and at least substantially perpendicular to a backrest surface formed by the backrest.The seating direction is preferably aligned parallel to a longitudinal central axis of the passenger seat. A “support plane” is understood to be the plane on which the passenger seat or the entire train seat module is mounted. The support plane is formed by a floor of the passenger compartment of the train carriage. A “seating position aligned in a first direction” is understood to be a seating position in which a seating direction of the corresponding passenger seat has a component that runs parallel to the first direction. The seating direction itself does not run parallel to the first direction. A “seating position aligned in a second direction” is understood to be a seating position in which a seating direction of the corresponding passenger seat has a component that runs parallel to the second direction. The seating direction itself does not run parallel to the second direction.
[0009] The phrase "the passenger seats are pivotable between the two seating positions" should be understood to mean that a passenger seat can be adjusted between the two seating positions via an adjustment movement that includes at least a rotation of the passenger seat. In principle, it is conceivable that an adjustment movement in which the passenger seat is adjusted comprises only a rotational movement. It is also conceivable that the adjustment movement in which the passenger seat is adjusted comprises a rotational, pivoting, and / or linear movement.
[0010] The train seat module preferably has an enclosure unit that at least partially surrounds the passenger seat of the train seat module and separates it from the rest of the passenger compartment. In principle, however, it is also conceivable for the train seat module not to have an enclosure unit and for the passenger area to the sides and behind the passenger seat not to be additionally separated from the rest of the passenger compartment. “Provided” should be understood in particular to mean specially designed and / or equipped. The fact that an object is intended for a specific function should be understood in particular to mean that the object fulfills and / or performs this specific function in at least one application and / or operating state. By an embodiment according to the invention, adjacently arranged passenger seats of the corresponding train seat modules can advantageously be used individually or together as a seating group.The design according to the invention makes it possible to provide a particularly advantageous, flexible and comfortable train seat layout for passengers. The design according to the invention makes it particularly advantageous to provide a comfortable and flexible train seat layout with minimal space requirements.
[0011] It is further proposed that the passenger seats are provided so as to be pivoted between their first seating position and their second seating position by an angle which lies in an angular range of 90 degrees to 120 degrees. The passenger seats are preferably aligned in their seating positions at an angle α in the train carriage. The fact that a passenger seat is aligned at an angle α in the train carriage should be understood to mean that the passenger seat is mounted in the train carriage pivoted by the angle α to the train carriage central axis. The angle α by which the passenger seat is pivoted is measured between the seating direction, i.e. the longitudinal central axis of the passenger seat, and the train carriage central axis. A passenger seat is preferably pivoted by an angle α in an angular range of 25 degrees to 80 degrees, particularly preferably in an angular range of 30 to 40 degrees to the train carriage central axis.In a preferred embodiment, the angle a by which the passenger seat is pivoted relative to the train carriage's centerline is 35 degrees. Depending on the angle a at which the passenger seats are arranged in the seating positions, the angle by which the passenger seats are pivoted between their seating positions varies. This allows for a particularly advantageous design of the train seat modules.
[0012] It is further proposed that the passenger seat of the first passenger seat module in its first seating position and the passenger seat of the second train seat module in its second seating position form a common seating group, wherein the table unit arranged therebetween can be used by both passenger seats of the common seating group. A "common seating group" should preferably be understood to mean a group of passenger seats that face one another and form a common passenger area. The table unit arranged between the two passenger seats of the common seating group can be used simultaneously and jointly by passengers on both passenger seats of the seating group. This makes it particularly easy to provide a seating group for two passengers traveling together.
[0013] It is further proposed that the table unit comprise a table base body forming a main table surface and a first table front edge oriented at least substantially orthogonally to the passenger seat of the first train seat module in its first seating position, and a second table front edge oriented at least substantially orthogonally to the passenger seat of the second train seat module in its second seating position. A "table front edge" is preferably understood to mean an edge facing a corresponding passenger seat from which the table unit can be used. As a result, the table unit can be particularly advantageously configured for use from both passenger seats.
[0014] Furthermore, it is proposed that the table base body essentially has a trapezoidal or triangular shape in a plan view. The triangular or trapezoidal shape forms a basic shape of the table base body. In the corresponding design, the corners of the table base body are preferably rounded or flattened. This allows the table base body, and thus the table unit, to be designed particularly advantageously.
[0015] It is further proposed that the table unit comprise a first adjustable table element arranged on the table base body and adjustable into a use position toward the passenger seat of the first train seat module in its first seating position, and / or a second adjustable table element arranged on the table base body and adjustable into a use position toward the passenger seat of the second train seat module in its second seating position. An "adjustable table element" is preferably understood to mean a table element additional to the table base body, which, in a use position, forms an additional table surface that extends the main table surface of the main table element, in particular toward the corresponding passenger seat.The adjustable table element can preferably be pivoted, linearly displaced, or moved in a combined pivoting and linear motion between its stowed position and its use position. This allows for the provision of a particularly advantageous table unit whose table surface can be advantageously extended to the respective assigned passenger seats to increase passenger comfort.
[0016] It is further proposed that the train seat layout have a further table unit which is arranged in the second direction after the first train seat module, wherein the passenger seat of the first train seat module, in its second seating position, directly faces the further table unit for use. The further table unit is preferably designed identically to the first table unit. The train seat layout has one more table unit per longitudinal row of seats than passenger seats. As a result, each passenger seat is assigned a table unit in each of its seating positions. This allows the train seat layout to be advantageously expanded. It is further proposed that the train seat layout have a further table unit which is arranged in the first direction after the second train seat module, wherein the passenger seat of the second train seat module, in its first seating position, directly faces the further table unit for use.This allows each passenger seat to be assigned a table unit in each of its seating positions. This allows for a beneficial expansion of the train seating layout.
[0017] It is also proposed that the passenger seat of the train seating area be designed as a reclining seat that is adjustable between a sitting position and at least one reclining position. Preferably, the passenger seat is designed as a full-flat seat. A “full-flat seat” should preferably be understood to mean a passenger seat that can be transferred, in particular electromechanically, from the upright sitting position to the reclining position and that forms an at least substantially flat reclining surface in the reclining position. Preferably, the at least substantially flat reclining surface is aligned at least substantially parallel to a support plane. Particularly preferably, at least one seat base of the passenger seat and a backrest of the passenger seat are aligned at least substantially parallel to the support plane on which the passenger seat is supported in the reclining position.Preferably, the seat base of the passenger seat and the backrest of the passenger seat have a common support surface in the reclining position, which is aligned at least substantially parallel to the support plane. The passenger seat is intended to provide a substantially flat lying surface in the reclining position, on which an average passenger can lie stretched out. In principle, it is also conceivable for the flat lying surface not to be aligned parallel to a support plane. It is generally conceivable for the flat lying surface of the passenger seat to be inclined at an angle of 10 degrees to 20 degrees relative to the support plane. This makes it possible to provide an inclined, flat lying surface which, with the same space requirement, has an advantageously greater length than a lying surface aligned parallel to the support plane.An "at least substantially flat lying surface" is understood to mean a lying surface that is preferably completely flat. However, it is also conceivable that an angle ß other than 180 degrees is enclosed between a backrest surface of the backrest and a seat surface of the seat base, which form the lying surface in the reclining position of the passenger seat. The angle ß can preferably be between 150 degrees and 179 degrees. This allows the passenger seat to be designed to be particularly advantageous and comfortable.
[0018] It is further proposed that the train seat layout comprise a footrest element arranged beneath the table unit and intended to provide a footrest area for the passenger seats of the first and second train seat modules. A "footrest element" is preferably understood to mean an element that forms a padded area forming an ottoman or bed extension for at least one, preferably two associated passenger seats. The footrest element is intended to provide an area that forms a footrest area for a passenger when the corresponding passenger seat is in a sitting position and / or extends the lying surface of the passenger seat when the corresponding passenger seat is in a lying position. This makes it possible to provide a passenger seat with a particularly comfortable lying surface.
[0019] It is further proposed that the passenger seat of the train seating area be designed as a full-flat reclining seat and be intended to provide an at least substantially flat reclining surface with a bed length of at least 170 cm. This allows for a passenger seat with a particularly long reclining surface to be provided, thus advantageously increasing comfort.
[0020] It is further proposed that the train seat layout comprise a storage and / or storage unit arranged laterally next to the passenger seat of the train seat module and intended to be attached to the side wall and to provide a storage area and / or storage surface. A "storage and / or storage unit" is preferably understood to mean an area or unit in which utensils and literature can be stowed. A storage and / or storage unit can preferably be designed as a storage compartment, as a storage shelf, as a lockable storage compartment, and / or as a fastening means, such as an elastic tensioning strap. This allows a train seat module to be designed particularly advantageously.
[0021] Furthermore, it is proposed that the passenger seats of the train seat modules be designed to be aligned with the side wall in their seating positions. "Aligned with the side wall" means that the passenger seats are designed with their seating direction toward the side wall. This allows the train seat module to be designed particularly advantageously.
[0022] It is further proposed that the train seat module have an enclosure unit which at least partially delimits one passenger area of the train seat module behind and to the side of the passenger seat and is intended to be pivoted together with the passenger seat during adjustment between the first and second seating positions. An “enclosure unit” should preferably be understood as a unit formed from at least one element, in particular from at least one enclosure element, which permanently physically separates the passenger area from a part of the passenger compartment, in particular from the further passenger area arranged behind the passenger seat, and from the central aisle, at least up to a maximum height. The enclosure unit is designed as a separating unit which separates the train seat area from the central aisle and at least one passenger area.The housing unit is preferably substantially V-shaped and extends behind the passenger seat and at least partially to the side of the passenger seat at least into an area of the seat base. In principle, it is also conceivable for the housing unit to be substantially U-shaped or trapezoidal. The V-shaped, U-shaped or trapezoidal configuration of the housing unit is viewed in a plan view. Particularly preferably, the housing unit has a hexagonal basic shape in a plan view. The housing unit is fixedly connected to the corresponding passenger seat of the train seat module and, together with the passenger seat, is adjustable between its two seating positions. In both seating positions, the housing unit has the same relative position to the corresponding passenger seat of the train seat module.This allows the train seat module to be designed particularly advantageously and provides a passenger with a high level of privacy.
[0023] It is further proposed that the train seat layout comprise at least two additional train seat modules and a table unit, which are arranged on a second side of the aisle of the passenger compartment and face a second side wall. The additional train seat modules and table units form a further longitudinal row of seats in the train seat layout in the passenger compartment. This allows for a particularly advantageous train seat layout to be provided.
[0024] The train seat layout according to the invention is not intended to be limited to the application and embodiment described above. In particular, the train seat layout according to the invention may have a number of individual elements, components, and units that differs from the number stated herein to fulfill a functionality described herein.

[0035] Description of the embodiment
[0036] Figures 1 to 8 show a train seat layout 10 according to the invention. The train seat layout 10 is part of a passenger compartment 12 according to the invention. The passenger compartment 12 is part of a train carriage 14. The train seat layout 10 is intended to be arranged in the passenger compartment 12 of the train carriage 14. The train carriage 14 has two opposite side walls 16, 18. The side walls 16, 18 form longitudinal walls of the train carriage 14. The side walls 16, 18 laterally delimit the passenger compartment 12. The side walls 16, 18 preferably have window panes (not shown in detail). The train carriage 14 has a floor 20. The floor 20 of the train carriage 14 forms a floor of the passenger compartment 12. The floor 20 forms a support plane of the passenger compartment 12. The passenger compartment 12 forms an aisle 22. The aisle 22 of the passenger compartment 12 is designed as a central aisle.The aisle 22, designed as a central aisle, is arranged centrally between the two side walls 16, 18. The train carriage 14 forms a train carriage central axis 24. The train carriage central axis 24 is a longitudinal axis of the train carriage 14. The train carriage central axis 24 runs parallel to the side walls 16, 18. The aisle 22 is arranged parallel, preferably coaxially, to the train carriage central axis 24. The train seating layout 10 has two longitudinal rows of seats 26, 28. The longitudinal rows of seats 26, 28 are each arranged on one side of the aisle 22 in the passenger compartment 12. The first longitudinal row of seats 26 is arranged on a first, left-hand side of the aisle 22. The second longitudinal row of seats 28 is arranged on a second, right-hand side of the aisle 22.
[0037] The train seat layout 10 has a first direction 76. The first direction 76 is designed as a first direction of the passenger compartment 12, in particular of the train carriage 14. The first direction 76 runs parallel to the train carriage center axis 24. The first direction 76 runs in a horizontal plane that is aligned parallel to the floor 20. The first direction 76 of the train seat layout 10 faces a first end of the passenger compartment 12, or of the train carriage 14, i.e., is aligned therewith. The first direction 76 is aligned toward a front end of the train carriage 14. The train seat layout 10 has a second direction 78. The second direction 78 is designed as a second direction of the passenger compartment 12, in particular of the train carriage 14. The second direction 78 runs parallel to the train car center axis 24. The second direction 78 runs in a horizontal plane that is aligned parallel to the floor 20.The second direction 78 of the train seat layout 10 faces a second end of the passenger compartment 12 or the train carriage 14, i.e., is aligned therewith. The second direction 78 is aligned toward a rear end of the train carriage 14. The second direction 78 is opposite the first direction 76. The second direction 78 is rotated 180 degrees relative to the first direction 76. The first direction 76 and the second direction 78 are provided to further define the orientations of objects in the train seat layout 10.
[0038] The train seat layout 10 has a first train seat module 30. The train seat layout 10 has a second train seat module 32. The second train seat module 32 is arranged adjacent to the first train seat module 30. The first train seat module 30 and the second train seat module 32 are arranged directly next to one another in the one longitudinal row 26 of seats. In the train seat layout 10 shown as an example in Figures 5 and 6, three further train seat modules 34, 36, 38 are provided in the one longitudinal row 26 of the train seat layout 10. In principle, it would also be conceivable for the train seat layout 10 to have a different number of train seat modules 30, 32, 34, 36, 38, wherein the train seat layout 10 comprises at least the two train seat modules 30, 32. The additional train seat modules 34, 36, 38 are essentially of the same design as the train seat modules 30, 32 described in more detail below. A more detailed description of the additional train seat modules 34, 36, 38 can be found in the following description of the train seat modules 30, 32.
[0039] The first train seat module 30 comprises a passenger seat 40. The first train seat module 30 at least partially delimits a passenger area for a passenger. The passenger seat 40 is intended to provide a seat for a passenger. The passenger seat 40 is arranged in the passenger area of the train seat module 30. The passenger seat 40 comprises a seat base 42 and a backrest 44. The passenger seat 40 comprises a support unit (not shown in detail), by means of which the passenger seat 40 is mounted on the floor 20. The seat base 42 and the backrest 44 are mounted on the support unit. The passenger seat 40 is adjustable between an upright sitting position and at least one comfort position. The passenger seat 40 is designed as a reclining seat. The passenger seat 40 can be adjusted from the sitting position to a reclining position. In the reclining position, the passenger seat 40 forms a reclining surface.In the reclining position, the seat base 42 and the backrest 44 form a lying surface. It is conceivable that the backrest 44 and the seat base 42 are inclined towards one another in the reclining position and do not form a completely flat lying surface. The passenger seat 40 is preferably designed as a full-flat seat. The passenger seat 40 designed as a full-flat seat is intended to form a substantially flat lying surface in a reclining position. The passenger seat 40 designed as a full-flat seat is intended to provide a flat lying surface with a bed length of at least 170 cm. The seat base 42 and the backrest 44 of the passenger seat 40 are arranged parallel to one another in the reclining position and together form the lying surface. The passenger seat 40 preferably has a leg support element 46. The leg support element 46 is pivotally arranged at a front end of the seat base 42.The support unit comprises an actuator module (not shown in detail), via which the elements of the passenger seat 40 mounted on the support unit, such as the seat base 42, the backrest 44, and the leg support element 46, can be adjusted between their sitting position and their reclining position. For this purpose, the actuator module has a plurality of, preferably electronically controllable actuators. The passenger seat 40 is electronically adjustable between its upright sitting position and its comfort and reclining positions. In principle, it is also conceivable for the passenger seat 40 to be manually adjustable. For this purpose, it would be particularly conceivable for the passenger seat to have one or more manually operable actuators, such as gas pressure springs, which fix the passenger seat 40 in a current position when not actuated and enable an adjustment movement of the passenger seat 40 when actuated.In this case, the passenger seat 40 would be adjusted between its sitting position and its comfort or reclining position by an adjusting force exerted by a passenger on the passenger seat 40. The passenger seat 40 further includes a headrest 48. The headrest 48 is attached to an upper region of the backrest 44 of the passenger seat 40.
[0040] The train seat module 30 has an enclosure unit 50. The enclosure unit 50 at least partially delimits the passenger area of the train seat module 30 behind and to the side of the passenger seat 40. The enclosure unit 50 is formed by an enclosure element 52. The enclosure element 52 forms a partition wall. The enclosure unit forms a partition that delimits the passenger area of the train seat module 30 to the rear and to the side. The enclosure element 52 extends from an area behind the passenger seat 40 to an area to the side of the passenger seat 40. The enclosure element 52 of the enclosure unit 50 has a V-shaped basic form. The enclosure element 52 extends from an area near the floor to a height above the backrest 44 of the passenger seat 40 in an upright sitting position. As a result, the housing element 52 forms a visual barrier behind the passenger seat 40, which extends over the backrest 44.As a result, the housing element 52 creates a particularly advantageous demarcation from the rest of the passenger compartment 12. The housing element 52 has a rear wall region which is arranged behind the backrest 44 of the passenger seat 40 and is oriented substantially parallel to the backrest 44, i.e., a transverse direction of the passenger seat 40. The housing element 52 has two side wall regions. The side wall regions laterally delimit the housing unit 50. The side wall regions each extend from a lateral end of the rear wall region forward into a region to the side of the passenger seat 40. The side wall regions are oriented obliquely to one another. The side wall regions of the housing element 52 run away from one another forward, viewed from the rear wall region. The side wall regions of the housing element 52 enclose an opening angle which converges behind the passenger seat 40.
[0041] The housing element 52 preferably forms armrests 54, 56 in its side wall regions. The armrests 54, 56 can preferably be formed at least partially by the housing element 52. Preferably, the armrests 54, 56 each have a cushioning element that cushions a support surface of the armrests 54, 56. In principle, it is also conceivable for the armrests 54, 56 to be formed separately from the housing element 52. Furthermore, the first train seat module 30 advantageously has a lighting means 58 arranged on an inner side of the housing element 52. The lighting means 58 can be designed, for example, as a reading lamp.
[0042] The second train seat module 32 comprises a passenger seat 60. The second train seat module 32 at least partially delimits a passenger area for a passenger of the train seat module 32. The passenger seat 60 is intended to provide a seat for a passenger. The passenger seat 60 is arranged in the passenger area of the second train seat module 32. The passenger seat 60 comprises a seat base 62 and a backrest 64. The passenger seat 60 comprises a support unit (not shown in detail), by means of which the passenger seat 60 is mounted on the floor 20. The passenger seat 60 is designed as a reclining seat. The passenger seat 60 can be adjusted from the sitting position to a reclining position. In the reclining position, the passenger seat 60 forms a reclining surface. The passenger seat 60 is preferably designed as a full-flat seat.The passenger seat 60 of the second train seat module 32 is essentially identical in design to the passenger seat 40 of the first train seat module 30. The passenger seat 60 of the second train seat module 32 will therefore not be described in further detail here. The description of the passenger seat 40 of the first train seat module 30 applies accordingly. The second train seat module 32 has an enclosure unit 66. The enclosure unit 66 at least partially delimits the passenger area of the train seat module 32 behind and to the side of the passenger seat 60. The enclosure unit 66 is formed by an enclosure element 68. The enclosure element 68 forms a partition wall.

[0057] In the illustrated embodiment, the train seat layout 10 has three additional table units 96, 98, 100 in the first longitudinal row of seats 26. One of the table units 70, 92, 94, 96, 98, 100 is arranged on each side of a train seat module 30, 32, 34, 36, 38. In each seating position of each passenger seat 40, 60 of each of the train seat modules 30, 32, 34, 36, 38, one of the table units 70, 92, 94, 96, 98, 100 is arranged for use in front of the corresponding passenger seat 40, 60. If two adjacent train seat modules 30, 32, 34, 36, 38 are combined to form a common seating group 80, the table unit 70, 94, 96, 98 located between them can be used jointly from both passenger seats 40, 60. The train seat layout 10 has one more table unit 70, 92, 94, 96, 98, 100 for each longitudinal seat row 26, 28 than train seat modules 30, 32, 34, 36, 38.Due to the rotatable arrangement of the passenger seats 40, 60 of the train seat modules 30, 32, 34, 36, 38 between their first seating positions and their second seating positions, as well as the arrangement of a table unit 70, 92, 94, 96, 98, 100 on each side of a train seat module 30, 32, 34, 36, 38, the train seat modules 30, 32, 34, 36, 38 can advantageously be easily aligned as a single train seat module 30, 32, 34, 36, 38 for a single passenger, or can be combined to form a seating group 80 in which two adjacent train seat modules 30, 32, 34, 36, 38 can jointly use the table unit 70, 94, 96, 98 arranged between them. Preferably, between two table units 70, 92, 94, 96, 98, 100, corresponding storage and / or storage units 108 are mounted on the side wall.The train seat layout 10 has at least two additional train seat modules 102, 104 and a table unit 106, which are arranged on a second side of the aisle 20 and face the second side wall 18. In the illustrated embodiment, the train seat layout 10 has five additional train seat modules 102, 104 and six additional table units 106. For reasons of clarity, these are not all provided with reference numerals in the figures. The additional train seat modules 102, 104 and table units 106 form the second longitudinal row 28 of the train seat layout 10. The other train seat modules 102, 104 and table units 106 of the second longitudinal row of seats 28 are identical to the train seat modules 30, 32, 34, 36, 38 and table units 70, 92, 94, 96, 98, 100 described above, which is why they will not be described in more detail here.In the illustrated embodiment, both longitudinal rows of seats 26, 28 have the same number of train seat modules 30, 32, 34, 36, 38, 102, 104 and table units 70, 92, 94, 96, 98, 100, 106. However, it is also conceivable for the two longitudinal rows of seats 26, 28 to each have a different number of train seat modules 30, 32, 34, 36, 38, 102, 104 and table units 70, 92, 94, 96, 98, 100, 106.
[0058] Figure 8 shows an alternative embodiment of the table unit 70. In the alternative embodiment of the table unit 70, the table unit 70 has an extendable table base body 72. The extendable table base body 72 is movably connected to the side wall. The table base body 72 is extendably fastened to the side wall 16. The extendable table base body 72 is intended to be moved in a transverse direction of the passenger compartment 14 between a retracted position and an extended position. The table base body is displaceable in the transverse direction in the direction of the arrow shown in Figure 8. The table base body 72 is shown in the extended position in Figure 8. In the extended position, the table base body 72 is moved with its table front edges 82, 84 into the immediate vicinity of the passenger seats 40, 60 of the train seat modules 30, 32.In the retracted position, the table base body 72 is arranged equivalently to the position of the fixed configuration shown in Figure 7. The table unit 70 has a bearing unit (not shown in detail), via which the table base body 72 is adjustably mounted. The bearing unit is preferably designed as a linear bearing unit. The table base body 72 can be locked in the retracted position and in the extended position. For locking, the table unit 70 has a locking unit (not shown in detail). In principle, it would also be conceivable for the table base body 72 of the table unit 70 to be continuously lockable in any position between the retracted position and a maximum extended position.
[0059] Furthermore, it is alternatively also conceivable that the table base body 72 of the table unit 70 is not adjustable and basically has a basic shape as shown in Figure 8.
[0060] The table base body 72 of the table unit 70 has a rectangular section on the side wall side, in which the table base body 72 extends transversely from the side wall 16. The above-described triangular or trapezoidal basic shape of the table base body 72 adjoins the rectangular section. In a corresponding configuration, the distance between the passenger seats 40, 60 of the train seat modules 30, 32 would have to be increased compared to the above-described configuration with a smaller table unit.
