[0002] State of the art

[0003] The invention relates to a passenger seat device according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

[0004] A passenger seat device with a table and / or storage plate and with a PED holder integrated into the table and / or storage plate, which has a movable, in particular pivotably mounted, main holding plate which can be fixed in different angular positions relative to the table and / or storage plate in a force-locking and / or form-locking manner, has already been proposed.

[0005] The object of the invention is, in particular, to provide a generic device with improved properties regarding the simple and secure mounting of a PED on a passenger seat or in a passenger seat area. 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 passenger seat device with a table and / or storage plate, and with a PED holder integrated into the table and / or storage plate, which has a movable, in particular pivotably mounted, main holding plate which can be fixed in different angular positions relative to the table and / or storage plate in a force-fitting and / or form-fitting manner.

[0008] It is proposed that the PED holder has a secondary holding plate which is movable relative to the main holding plate, in particular pivotable, and arranged at a lower end of the main holding plate, which secondary holding plate preferably extends over at least half the width of the main holding plate and which is provided to be brought into at least one support position depending on a movement of the main holding plate or to adjust the main holding plate at least into a support position depending on its own movement.

[0009] A “passenger seat device” should preferably be understood to mean a device that forms at least part of a passenger seat and / or the entire passenger seat. The passenger seat device is preferably designed as an aircraft seat device. A “passenger seat” should preferably be understood to mean, in particular, a seat that is intended to form a seating area for a passenger and is arranged for this purpose in a means of transport. The passenger seat is preferably designed as an aircraft seat. In principle, it is also conceivable for the passenger seat to be designed as a train seat. In principle, it would also be conceivable for the passenger seat to be designed as a seat for another means of transport. The passenger seat is preferably designed as part of a row of seats comprising a plurality of passenger seats arranged side by side. The passenger seat comprises a plurality of seat components.The passenger seat preferably comprises at least one seat base forming a seating area for a passenger. Furthermore, the passenger seat comprises a backrest providing a backrest support surface against which a passenger sitting on the passenger seat can support their back. A rear side of the backrest preferably faces another passenger seat, with functional components for the passenger seat located behind it being arranged on the rear side of the backrest.

[0010] A "table and / or storage plate" should preferably be understood as an at least substantially flat plate which, at least in one operating state, is intended to be used by a passenger as a storage or table surface. The table and / or storage plate is preferably formed by a table which is preferably pivotably mounted between a stowed position and a use position. In an alternative embodiment, it is also conceivable for the table and / or storage plate to be formed by a plate of a console which is fixed to a passenger seat or a passenger seating area and which can be arranged, for example, next to or in front of a passenger seat. A "PED holder" should preferably be understood as a device by means of which a PED (Personal Electronic Device), in particular a smartphone or a tablet, can be held in an inclined position for use.By means of the PED holder, a PED can be held in a position inclined towards a passenger seat, preferably in a captive manner, so that a passenger sitting on the passenger seat can use the PED. A “main holding plate” should preferably be understood to mean a holding plate via which a main load of the PED attached to the PED holder is supported. The main holding plate is preferably intended so that a PED can be placed with its back side on it. The main holding plate preferably has a width of between 50 mm and 200 mm, particularly preferably between 80 mm and 120 mm. “Movably mounted” should preferably be understood to mean connected to a component, in particular the table and / or storage plate, so that it can be adjusted between at least two positions via a sliding and / or rotational movement.Preferably, the main holding plate is mounted so as to be pivotable only about one axis of rotation and can be pivoted between two maximum positions by a pivoting movement. “Pivotally mounted” should be understood to mean mounted so as to be rotatable about at least one, preferably only one, axis of rotation. “Fixable” should be understood to mean held in a fixed position, wherein in the fixed position corresponding holding forces can be diverted, in particular, into the table and / or storage plate. “Force- and / or form-fitting” should preferably be understood to mean a force transmission between two components by a geometric engagement and / or by a frictional force between the components. A “secondary holding plate” should preferably be understood to mean a holding plate which is intended to support a side surface of a PED arranged in the PED holder.The secondary holding plate is preferably provided to prevent the PED from slipping out of the PED holder. An upper side of the secondary holding plate forms a support surface of the secondary holding plate. A PED arranged in the PED holder can be placed with a side edge on the support surface of the secondary holding plate. The secondary holding plate preferably has an anti-slip surface on an upper side provided for supporting the PED. An anti-slip surface can preferably be formed by a corresponding coating or by a plastic element. The anti-slip surface can preferably have knobs. The side edge of a PED can be better supported on the knobs of the anti-slip surface. It would also preferably be conceivable for the anti-slip surface to have grooves for better support of a PED.Preferably, a "supporting position" is understood to mean a position, in particular an inclined position, of the main holding plate or the secondary holding plate, in which the corresponding plate is aligned in a use position of the PED holder and can support a PED in the intended manner and secure it against slipping. "Intended" is understood to mean, in particular, specially designed and / or equipped. The fact that an object is intended for a specific function is understood to mean, in particular, that the object fulfills and / or performs this specific function in at least one application and / or operating state.

[0011] This advantageously provides a particularly advantageous PED holder, by means of which a PED can be particularly easily mounted on a table and / or storage panel on a passenger seat or in a passenger seating area for use by a passenger sitting on the passenger seat. Particularly advantageously, a simple and intuitive adjustment of the PED holder between a use position and a stowed position can be provided, in which the main support plate and a secondary retaining plate provided in the PED holder for better securing the PED can be adjusted together by a movement, in particular by an adjustment by a passenger.

[0012] It is further proposed that the secondary support plate be pivotably mounted on the table and / or storage plate. "Mounted on the table and / or storage plate" should preferably be understood to mean that a bearing for the secondary support plate is attached to the table and / or storage plate. This allows for particularly easy connection of the secondary support plate.

[0013] It is further proposed that the PED holder have a spring-loaded bearing unit, via which the pivotable secondary holding plate is mounted on the table and / or storage plate. A "spring-loaded bearing unit" should preferably be understood to mean a bearing unit via which an element, such as in particular the secondary holding plate, can be pivoted against a spring force, wherein the spring force forms a restoring force by means of which the mounted element can be adjusted back into a neutral position, in particular into a stowed position. As a result, the secondary holding plate can be mounted particularly advantageously and automatically adjusted to a neutral position, in particular its stowed position. It is further proposed that the secondary holding plate be provided so that it can be pivoted by a pivoting movement of the main holding plate in a direction of rotation opposite to the pivoting movement of the main holding plate.The main holding plate has a rotation axis around which it is pivoted. The secondary holding plate has a rotation axis around which it is pivoted. The rotation axis of the main holding plate and the rotation axis of the secondary holding plate are aligned parallel to one another. The term “being pivoted in an opposite direction of rotation” should be understood to mean that the pivoting movement in the main holding plate about its axis of rotation has a different sign than the simultaneous pivoting movement of the secondary holding plate about its parallel axis of rotation. When pivoting in opposite directions of rotation, the upper sides of the main holding plate are moved towards or away from each other. When pivoting in opposite directions of rotation, an angle between the main holding plate and the secondary holding plate decreases or increases.When adjusted toward the maximum support position, the main support plate and the secondary support plate move toward each other, reducing the angle between the top surfaces of the main support plate and the secondary support plate. The angle between the top surfaces of the main support plate and the secondary support plate is 180 degrees in the stowed position and approximately 75 degrees in the maximum support position. This allows the secondary support plate to be pivoted particularly advantageously for securing a PED on the PED holder.

[0014] Furthermore, it is proposed that the main holding plate have a coupling element at its lower end, which is intended to be coupled to the secondary holding plate in a force-fitting and / or form-fitting manner for the adjustment of the secondary holding plate. “Force-fitting and / or form-fitting coupled” should preferably be understood to mean that a force or movement transmission between two elements, such as in particular the main holding plate and the secondary holding plate takes place via a form-fitting connection or via a force-fitting connection, i.e. in particular a frictional connection. This allows for a particularly simple coupling of the movement of the secondary holding plate and the main holding plate. Furthermore, it is proposed that the PED holder have a friction bearing unit, via which the main holding plate is mounted on the table and / or storage plate. A “friction bearing unit” should preferably be understood to mean a torque bearing unit.A friction bearing unit is designed as a torque bearing unit that can be rotated against a frictional force. The friction bearing units can preferably support torques. This allows the main retaining plate to be fixed in various angular positions particularly easily and continuously.

[0015] It is also proposed that the main retaining plate and the secondary retaining plate are arranged parallel to each other in a stowed position of the PED holder.

[0016] Preferably, the upper surfaces of the main support plate and the secondary support plate are flush when the PED holder is in the stowed position. The main support plate and the secondary support plate form a flat surface, separated only by a small gap. This allows the PED holder to be positioned particularly well, space-saving, and unobtrusively on the table and / or shelf in the stowed position.

[0017] It is further proposed that the table and / or storage plate has a recess in which the PED holder is arranged. The fact that the PED holder is arranged in the recess should preferably be understood to mean that the PED holder is arranged at least substantially, preferably completely, in a space spanned by the recess. Preferably, the upper sides of the main holding plate and the secondary holding plate are aligned parallel to the table surface of the table and / or storage plate in the stowed position. In principle, it would be conceivable for the upper sides of the secondary holding plate and the main holding plate to be arranged below the table surface of the table and / or storage plate. The secondary holding plate and the main holding plate would therefore advantageously be arranged completely in the recess in the stowed position and would not protrude above the table surface of the table and / or storage plate.In principle, however, it would also be conceivable for the upper surface of the secondary holding plate and the upper surface of the main holding plate to be positioned above the table surface of the table and / or storage plate. The secondary holding plate and the main holding plate would then protrude above the table surface of the table and / or storage plate. It is advantageous to arrange the surface of the main holding plate and the secondary holding plate flush with the table surface of the table and / or storage plate. This allows for particularly convenient storage of the PED holder.

[0018] It is also proposed that the main holding plate and the secondary holding plate be arranged in the recess of the table and / or storage plate in a stowed position such that surfaces of the main holding plate and the secondary holding plate are in a plane with a surface of the table and / or storage plate. This allows a particularly advantageous table surface to be provided when the PED holder is in its stowed position.

[0019] It is further proposed that the recess be open toward a side edge of the table and / or storage plate. Preferably, the recess is formed as a depression in the surface of the table and / or storage plate. In principle, it would also be conceivable for the recess to be formed as a through-hole. This allows the recess for receiving the PED holder to be designed particularly simply.

[0020] It is further proposed that the table and / or storage plate has a recess in which the PED holder is arranged and which is at least partially formed as a through-hole through which the PED holder is at least partially guided, wherein the PED holder is at least partially connected to an underside of the table and / or storage plate. A “through-hole” should preferably be understood to mean a recess that extends from an upper side to an underside of the table and / or storage plate. “At least partially guided” should preferably be understood to mean that at least some components of the PED holder are arranged in the through-hole at least in some positions of the PED holder. This allows the PED holder to be connected particularly easily and in a space-saving manner.

[0021] It is further proposed that an upper edge of the main holding plate forms a side edge of the table and / or storage plate in the stowed position. This allows the PED holder, in particular the main holding plate, to be particularly advantageously integrated into the table and / or storage plate and easily grasped by one person from the outside for adjustment.

[0022] It is further proposed that the PED holder have a holding element movably mounted on the secondary holding plate, which is provided for expanding a support surface of the secondary holding plate and / or for clamping a PED arranged in the PED holder. A “holding element” should preferably be understood to mean an element that is optionally provided for additional holding and / or fixing of a PED attached to the PED holder. Preferably, the holding element is movably connected to the secondary holding plate. Particularly preferably, the holding element is pivotably arranged on the secondary holding plate. Preferably, the holding element is connected to the secondary holding plate in a spring-loaded manner. The holding element is preferably provided, in a held state, to be pressed by a spring force against the PED arranged in the PED holder in order to clamp it between itself and the main holding plate.Preferably, the retaining element is designed to exert a clamping force on the PED being held. In principle, it would also be conceivable for the retaining element to merely extend a support surface of the secondary retaining plate. This can achieve a particularly advantageous fixation of the PED in the PED holder and advantageously make it more difficult for the PED to fall out of the PED holder.

[0023] Furthermore, it is proposed that the table and / or storage plate be designed as part of a table that can be adjusted between a stowed position and a use position. A “stowed position” is to be understood as a non-use position of the table, in which the table cannot be used and is preferably stowed away in a space-saving manner. In the stowed position, the table can preferably be arranged in a storage space or folded against another component of a passenger seat or passenger seating area, such as a backrest. A “use position” is to be understood as a position of the table in which it can be used properly and is preferably arranged in a flat orientation in front of and / or above a passenger seat. The table can preferably be pivoted and / or moved linearly when adjusted between the stowed position and the use position.This allows a particularly advantageous table to be provided for a passenger seat.

[0024] It is further proposed that the table and / or storage surface be formed by a flat console plate arranged between or next to a passenger seat. A "console plate" should preferably be understood as a preferably flat plate formed as part of a console of a passenger seat or a passenger seating area. The console plate can preferably be designed as a rigid, non-movable plate. In principle, it would also be conceivable for the console plate to be linearly displaceable. This allows the PED holder to be advantageously integrated into a console of a passenger seat.

[0025] The passenger seat device according to the invention is not intended to be limited to the application and embodiment described above. In particular, the passenger seat device according to the invention may have a number of individual elements, components, and units that differs from the number stated herein to fulfill a function described herein.

[0041] Description of the embodiments

[0042] Figures 1 to 10 show a first embodiment of a passenger seat device according to the invention. The passenger seat device is designed as part of a passenger seat 10a. The passenger seat device is designed, for example, as an aircraft seat device. The passenger seat device is designed as part of an aircraft seat. In principle, it would also be conceivable for the passenger seat device to be designed as a train seat device and the passenger seat as a train seat. The passenger seat 10a is designed, for example, as a seat in a passenger seat row 12a. The passenger seat row 12a has, for example, two passenger seats 10a arranged next to one another, only one of which will be described in more detail. In principle, it would also be conceivable for the passenger seat 10a to be designed as an individual seat. The passenger seat 10a forms a seat for one passenger.The passenger seat 10a has a seat base and a backrest. The seat base forms the seating area of ​​the passenger seat 10a. The passenger seat 10a has armrests 14a, 16a arranged on the sides. A console 18a is arranged in an area between the two passenger seats 10a. The console 18a preferably forms the armrests 16a of the passenger seats 10a arranged between the passenger seats 10a.

[0043] The passenger seat device has a table 20a. The table 20a of the passenger seat device is designed as a table 20a assigned to the passenger seat 10a. The table 20a is mounted on the passenger seat 10a so as to be adjustable between a stowed position and a use position. The table 20a is preferably intended to be arranged in its stowed position in a storage compartment, which is preferably located in the console 18a between the two passenger seats 10a. The console 18a forms a receiving compartment (not shown in detail) under the armrest 16a, in which the table 20a is arranged in its stowed position. The table 20a has a bearing device (not described in detail), via which the table 20a can be adjusted between its stowed position and its use position.In the position of use, the table 20a is arranged for use directly in or in front of a seating area of ​​the passenger seat 10a, where it can be used by a passenger sitting on the passenger seat 10a.

[0044] In principle, it would also be conceivable for the table 20a to be designed in a different way, in particular arranged and adjustable between its use position and its stowed position. The connection and stowage of the table 20a briefly described above is merely an example. For example, it would also be conceivable for the table 20a to be movably mounted on a separate console arranged in front of the passenger seat 10a. In principle, it would also be conceivable for the table 20a to be movably, in particular pivotably, arranged on the rear side of a backrest of a passenger seat 10a arranged in front of the passenger seat 10a. In principle, even a fixed connection of a table 20a would be conceivable. The inventive concept is independent of the specific design of the table 20a.

[0045] The passenger seating device has a table and / or storage plate 22a. The table and / or storage plate 22a is formed as part of the table 20a. The table and / or storage plate 22a forms a table top of the adjustable table 20a. The table and / or storage plate 22a is formed as a flat plate. The table and / or storage plate 22a preferably forms the entire table surface of the table 20a. In principle, it would also be conceivable for the table and / or storage plate 22a to form only part of the entire table surface and for the table 20a to have a further table and / or storage plate that is movably, preferably pivotably, connected to the table and / or storage plate 22a. The table and / or storage plate 22a is formed as a flat plate. The table and / or storage plate 22a has an upper side 24a. The upper side 24a of the table and / or storage plate 22a forms a table surface of the table 20a.The table and / or storage plate 22a has a bottom side 26a. The bottom side 26a forms a side of the table 20a opposite the table surface of the table 20a. The table and / or storage plate 22a has a rear side edge 23a. The rear side edge 23a faces away from the passenger seat 10a when the table 20a is in the use position. The rear side edge 23a forms an end of the table and / or storage plate 22a remote from the passenger seat 10a, i.e., a rear end of the table 20a. The table and / or storage plate 22a is preferably formed from a plastic material. For example, the table and / or storage plate 22a can be formed from two shell elements that are connected to one another. The shell elements that form the table and / or storage plate 22a can, for example, be designed as deep-drawn components.

[0046] The passenger seat device has a PED holder 28a. The PED holder 28a is integrated into the table and / or storage plate 22a. The PED holder 28a is fixedly connected to the table and / or storage plate 22a. The PED holder 28a is preferably arranged in an upper side 24a of the table and / or storage plate 22a. The PED holder 28a is preferably arranged in an edge region of the table and / or storage plate 22a. The PED holder 28a is preferably arranged on a rear side edge 23a of the table and / or storage plate 22a. The PED holder 28a is preferably intended for use in a use position of the table 20a. The PED holder 28a is intended for connecting a PED, such as a smartphone or a tablet. The PED holder 28a is intended to hold, in particular to hold at an angle, a PED. The PED holder 28a is intended to hold a PED on the table and / or storage plate 22a.The PED holder 28a is provided to hold a PED on the table and / or storage panel 22a in such a way that a passenger sitting on the passenger seat 10a can advantageously use the PED, in particular, view it. Using the PED holder 28a, a passenger sitting on the passenger seat 10a can place a PED 200a, for example, their smartphone or tablet, at an angle on the table and / or storage panel 22a for use. Preferably, a PED 200a can be positioned at different angles relative to the table and / or storage panel 22a using the PED holder 28a.

[0047] The PED holder 28a can be aligned in a stowed position on the table and / or storage plate 22a. The PED holder 28a can be aligned in a use position, in particular a maximally adjusted use position. The maximally adjusted use position is designed as a use position in which the PED holder 28a is moved out of its stowed position by a maximum adjustment path. The PED holder 28a is adjustable between the stowed position and a maximally adjusted use position. The PED holder 28a is preferably pivotable between its stowed position and the maximally adjusted use position. The PED holder 28a is preferably continuously fixable between its stowed position and its maximally adjusted use position. The PED holder 28a can be continuously aligned and fixed in different usage positions, which lie between the stowed position and the maximum adjusted usage position.Using the PED holder 28a, a PED 200a can be advantageously positioned at different angular positions relative to the table and / or storage plate 22a. This allows a passenger to easily and advantageously use a PED 200a at different angular positions and thus individually adjust it to achieve an optimal viewing angle.

[0048] The table and / or storage plate 22a has a recess 30a. The PED holder 28a is at least partially arranged in the recess 30a. The PED holder 28a is preferably connected to the table and / or storage plate 22a in the recess 30a or in a region of the recess 30a. The table and / or storage plate 22a forms a connection region 32a for connecting the PED holder 28a. The connection region 32a is at least partially arranged in the recess 30a. Preferably, the entire connection region 32a is arranged in the recess. The recess 30a has a first partial region 34a in which the recess 30a is formed as a depression in the upper side 24a of the table and / or storage plate 22a. In the first partial area 34a, the recess 30a has a bottom surface 36a. The bottom surface 36a is arranged below the top surface of the table and / or storage plate 22a.The bottom surface 36a is preferably arranged 3.5 mm below the top surface 24a of the table and / or storage plate 22a.

[0049] In principle, it would be conceivable for the distance by which the base surface 36a lies below the top side 24a of the table and / or storage plate 22a to be between 2 mm and 10 mm. The recess 30a has a second partial region 38a. The second partial region 38a directly adjoins the first partial region 34a of the recess 30a. The second partial region 38a is arranged on an inner side of the first partial region 34a. In the second partial region 38a, the recess 30a is formed as a depression. In the second partial region 38a, the recess 30a is also recessed compared to the first partial region 34a. In the second partial region 38a, the recess 30a has a base surface 40a. The bottom surface 40a is arranged below the top surface of the table and / or storage plate 22a and below the bottom surface 36a of the first partial area 34a. The bottom surface 40a is preferably arranged 2.5 mm below the bottom surface 36a of the first partial area 34a.At least part of the connection region 32a for connecting the PED holder 28a is preferably arranged on the bottom surface 40a of the second partial region 38a. The recess 30a has a third partial region 42a. The third partial region 42a directly adjoins the second partial region 38a. The third partial region 42a is arranged on a side of the second partial region 38a opposite the first partial region 34a, i.e., on an inner side of the second partial region 38a. In the third partial region 42a, the recess 30a is formed as a through-hole. In the third partial region 42a, the recess 30a extends from a top side 24a to a bottom side 26a of the table and / or storage plate 22a. The recess 30a has a fourth partial region 44a. The fourth sub-area 44a directly adjoins the third sub-area 42a.The fourth partial region 44a is arranged on a side of the third partial region 42a opposite the second partial region 38a, i.e., on an inner side of the third partial region 42a. The fourth partial region 44a preferably forms an inner end of the recess 30a. The recess 30a is formed in the fourth partial region 44a as a depression in the upper side 24a of the table and / or storage plate 22a. In the fourth partial region 44a, the recess 30a has a bottom surface 46a. The bottom surface 46a is arranged below the upper side 24a of the table and / or storage plate 22a. The bottom surface 46a is preferably in a plane with the bottom surface 36a in the first partial region 34a. The floor surface 46a in the fourth partial area 44a is therefore preferably located a distance of between 2 mm and 5 mm below the upper side 24a of the table and / or storage plate 22a.

[0050] The recess 30a is open towards the rear side edge 23a of the table and / or storage plate 22a. The recess 30a has a fifth partial region 48a. The fifth partial region 48a forms an outer part of the recess 30a. The fifth partial region 48a is arranged on an outer side of the first partial region 34a. The fifth partial region 48a forms an edge region of the recess 30a. The fifth partial region 48a is arranged in an edge region of the table and / or storage plate 22a, in particular in a region of the rear side edge 23a. In the fifth partial region 48a, the recess 30a is formed as a through-hole. In the fifth partial region 48a, the recess 30a extends from the upper side 24a to a lower side 26a of the table and / or storage plate 22a. In the area of ​​the recess 30a, i.e. in particular in the fifth partial area 48a, the table and / or storage plate 22a does not form a side edge.For example, the recess 30a has a length of 90 mm. For example, the recess 30a has a width of 15 mm. The dimensions of the recess 30a are adapted accordingly to the dimensions of the PED holder 28a. The dimensions of the PED holder 28a are preferably variably adaptable to the available space on the table and / or storage plate 22a and the size of the PEDs 200a to be held.

[0051] In principle, it would also be conceivable for the recess 30a to be formed in a different way. In particular, it would be conceivable for the fourth partial region 44a to also form a base surface. In particular, the base surface 36a of the first partial region 34a would extend as far as the side edge 23a into the fifth partial region 48a. In principle, it would also be conceivable for the recess 30a to be formed continuously as a through-hole. The recess 30a could form an opening between the top side 24a and the bottom side 26a of the table and / or storage plate 22a over its entire extent. The recess 30a would not have a base surface. In principle, it would also be conceivable for the recess 30a to form the base surface 46a only in the fourth partial region 44a.

[0052] The PED holder 28a has a movably mounted main holding plate 50a. The main holding plate 50a is pivotally mounted. The main holding plate 50a is pivotally mounted relative to the table and / or storage plate 22a.

The main holding plate 50a is configured to correspond to the recess 30a of the table and / or storage plate 22a. The main holding plate 50a has a width that approximately corresponds to the width of the recess 30a. The width of the main holding plate 50a is minimally smaller than the width of the recess 30a.The width of the main retaining plate 50a is selected such that the main retaining plate 50a can be inserted into the recess 30a without contacting the side walls of the recess 30a. The width of the main retaining plate 50a is preferably between 80 mm and 120 mm, preferably 1 mm smaller than the width of the recess 30a. The main retaining plate 50a preferably has a width of 90 mm. In principle, it would also be conceivable for the main retaining plate 50a to have a width between 50 mm and 200 mm. A design, in particular the dimensions of the recess 30a, would be adapted accordingly to the width of the main retaining plate 50a.

[0053] In an assembled state, the main holding plate 50a extends in the recess 30a from the edge region into the region of the third partial region 42a, in which the recess 30a is formed as a through-hole. The main holding plate 50a has a length that essentially corresponds to the length of the first partial region 34a, the second partial region 38a, the fifth partial region 48a, and approximately one half of the third partial region 42a. In a stowed position, the main holding plate 50a extends from a side edge 23a of the table and / or storage plate 22a to approximately the middle of the third partial region 42a. The main holding plate 50a preferably has a length of 100 mm. In principle, it would also be conceivable for the main holding plate 50a to have a length of 90 mm to 200 mm. A design, in particular dimensions of the recess 30a would be adapted accordingly to the length of the main holding plate 50a.

[0054] The main support plate 50a has an upper side 52a on which a PED 200a can be supported. In an assembled state, the upper side 52a of the main support plate 50a is directed away from the table and / or storage plate 22a, in particular away from the recess 30a in the table and / or storage plate 22a. The upper side 52a is preferably flat. An anti-slip coating can preferably be applied to the upper side 52a. The anti-slip coating can, for example, be formed by a plastic element attached to the upper side 52a or by an anti-slip coating applied to the upper side 52a. This can advantageously secure a PED 200a against slipping on the main support plate 50a. The main support plate 50a has a lower side 54a. In an assembled state, the underside 54a faces the table and / or storage plate 22a, in particular the recess 30a in the table and / or storage plate 22a.The underside 54a is preferably flat. The underside 54a preferably runs parallel to the top side 52a.

The main holding plate 50a is pivotally coupled to the table and / or storage plate 22a in its lower end region. The main holding plate 50a has a connecting flange 58a for connection to the table and / or storage plate 22a. The connecting flange 58a is formed by a protrusion 60a arranged on the underside 54a of the main holding plate 50a. The elevation 60a, which forms the connecting flange 58a, is arranged in the lower end region of the main holding plate 50a.The elevation 60a has an elongated extension and is preferably connected centrally to the main support plate 50a in the transverse direction. The elevation 60a is preferably formed integrally with the main support plate 50a. The elevation 60a has a bearing receptacle 62a on each of its opposite lateral surfaces. The bearing receptacles 62a are provided for pivotally supporting the main support plate 50a for receiving bearing pins.

[0056] The main support plate 50a is pivotable between a stowed position and a maximum support position relative to the table and / or storage plate 22a.

[0057] The main holding plate 50a can be fixed in different angular positions relative to the table and / or storage plate 22a in a force-locking and / or form-locking manner. The main holding plate 50a can preferably be fixed in different angular positions relative to the table and / or storage plate 22a by means of a frictional engagement. To support the main holding plate 50a, the PED holder 28a has a friction bearing unit 64a. The main holding plate 50a can be pivotally fixed to the table and / or storage plate 22a by means of the friction bearing unit 64a. The main holding plate 50a can be fixed in different angular positions by means of the friction bearing unit 64a. The main holding plate 50a can be fixed in different angular positions by means of the friction bearing unit 64a. Forces acting on the main holding plate 50a, in particular holding forces, can be diverted into the table and / or storage plate 22a by means of the friction bearing unit 64a.

[0058] The friction bearing unit 64a preferably has two friction bearing elements 66a, 68a. The friction bearing elements 66a, 68a are each arranged on one side of the connecting flange 58a. The friction bearing elements 66a, 68a are mounted on the table and / or storage plate 22a.

The connection area 32a has threaded holes 70a in the second partial area 38a of the recess 30a in the base surface 40a, via which the friction bearing elements 66a, 68a can be fixed to the table and / or storage plate 22a. The friction bearing elements 66a, 68a each have a friction bearing housing 72a. The friction bearing elements 66a, 68a are each attached to the table and / or storage plate 22a via their friction bearing housing 72a.The friction bearing housings 72a are connected via screw elements to the threaded holes 70a on the bottom surface 40a of the recess 30a. The friction bearing elements 66a, 68a each have a threaded pin 74a, each of which is firmly connected to a bearing receptacle 62a of the main retaining plate 50a. The friction bearing elements 66a, 68a each have a friction element 76a, which is firmly connected to the threaded pin 74a and which is frictionally mounted in the respective friction bearing housing 72a. When the main retaining plate 50a is pivoted, the friction element 76a is rotated against a friction force in the friction bearing housing 72a. In the different angular positions, a holding force can be supported by a frictional engagement of the friction elements 76a of the friction bearing elements 66a, 68a on their friction bearing housing 72a.

[0059] The PED holder 28a has a secondary holding plate 78a. The secondary holding plate 78a is arranged at a lower end of the main holding plate 50a. The secondary holding plate 78a is arranged below a lower end of the main holding plate 50a. The secondary holding plate 78a is movable, in particular pivotable, relative to the main holding plate 50a. The secondary holding plate 78a is pivotably arranged on the table and / or storage plate 22a. The secondary holding plate 78a is arranged in particular in the fourth partial region 44a and partially in the third partial region 42a of the recess 30a. In a stowed position, the secondary holding plate 78a extends from an inner end of the recess 30a, i.e., from the fourth partial region 44a, to approximately a center of the third partial region 42a. In the stowed position, the secondary retaining plate 78a extends in the third partial area 42a up to the main retaining plate 50a.Preferably, the secondary holding plate 78a and the main holding plate 50a do not touch each other in the stowed position in the region of their upper sides 52a, 80a. Preferably, in the stowed position, a gap of less than 2 mm exists between the main holding plate 50a and the secondary holding plate 78a in the region of their upper sides 52a, 80a. The secondary holding plate 78a preferably extends at least over half the width of the main holding plate 50a. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the secondary holding plate 78a has a width that is equal to the width of the main holding plate 50a. In principle, it would also be conceivable for the secondary holding plate 78a to have a width that is smaller than that of the main holding plate 50a, for example at least a third smaller, or only half as long.

[0060] The secondary holding plate 78a is provided to support a PED 200a held on the PED holder 28a. The secondary holding plate 78a is provided so that a PED 200a can be supported thereon with a side edge. The secondary holding plate 78a is provided to prevent a PED 200a placed on the main holding plate 50a from slipping downward in an inclined position. In a use position of the PED holder 28a, a PED 200a can be supported with its rear side on the main holding plate 50a and with a side surface on the secondary holding plate 78a.

[0061] The secondary holding plate 78a is designed to be pivoted between a stowed position and a maximum support position relative to the table and / or storage plate 22a. In the stowed position of the PED holder 28a, the secondary holding plate 78a is in its stowed position. In a maximally adjusted use position of the PED holder 28a, the secondary holding plate 78a is arranged in its maximum support position.

[0062] The secondary holding plate 78a has an upper side 80a. The upper side 80a of the secondary holding plate 78a is directed away from the table and / or storage plate 22a, in particular away from the recess 30a of the table and / or storage plate 22a. The upper side 80a is intended for contact with a side surface of a PED 200a. A PED 200a, which is arranged in the PED holder 28a, can be supported with a side surface on the upper side 80a of the secondary holding plate 78a. The upper side 80a of the secondary holding plate 78a is formed by an anti-slip surface. The anti-slip surface is preferably formed by an anti-slip element that is attached to the secondary holding plate 78a. It would also be conceivable for the anti-slip surface to be formed by a coating of the upper side 80a of the secondary holding plate 78a.

[0063] The secondary holding plate 78a is pivotally mounted on the table and / or storage plate 22a. The PED holder 28a has a spring-loaded bearing unit 82a. The secondary holding plate 78a is pivotally connected to the table and / or storage plate 22a by means of the spring-loaded bearing unit 82a. The spring-loaded bearing unit 82a allows the secondary holding plate 78a to be aligned at different angular positions relative to the table and / or storage plate 22a. The spring-loaded bearing unit 82a allows the secondary holding plate 78a to be aligned at different angular positions relative to the main bearing plate 50a. The spring-loaded bearing unit 82a is designed to exert a spring force on the secondary holding plate 78a, which presses it into its stowed position. The secondary holding plate 78a can be pivoted from its stowed position into a support position against the spring force via the spring-loaded bearing unit 82a.The spring-loaded bearing unit 82a preferably has two spring-loaded bearing elements 84a, 86a.

[0064] The bearing elements 84a, 86a are mounted on the table and / or storage plate 22a. The bearing elements 84a, 86a are firmly connected in the connection area 32a. The connection area 32a forms mounting areas 88a, 90a on both sides of the third partial area 42a of the recess 30a in the underside 26a of the table and / or storage plate 22a. The bearing elements 84a, 86a are preferably mounted in the mounting areas 88a, 90a via a screw connection. The bearing elements 84a, 86a each have a bearing housing 92a. The bearing elements 84a, 86a are each fastened to the table and / or storage plate 22a via their bearing housing 92a. The bearing housings 92a are connected to threaded holes in the mounting areas 88a, 90a via screw elements. The bearing elements 84a, 86a each have a bearing pin 94a, which is each fixedly connected to a bearing receptacle 96a of the secondary holding plate 78a.The bearing elements 84a, 86a each have a spring element 98a, which is arranged in the respective bearing housing 92a to provide the spring force. The spring element 98a is preferably designed as a spiral spring. When the secondary retaining plate 78a is pivoted out of the stowed position, the spring element 98a is twisted and thus tensioned.

[0065] The secondary holding plate 78a is designed to be moved into its support position depending on a movement of the main holding plate 50a. The secondary holding plate 78a is designed to be automatically moved into its support position when the main holding plate 50a is adjusted towards its maximum support position. The secondary holding plate 78a is designed to be automatically adjusted into its support position when the main holding plate 50a is adjusted towards its maximum support position. The secondary holding plate 78a is coupled to a pivoting movement of the main holding plate 50a into its maximum support position. If the main holding plate 50a is moved from its stowed position towards its maximum support position, the secondary holding plate 78a is carried along and likewise pivoted towards its maximum support position.

[0066] The secondary holding plate 78a is designed to be pivoted by a pivoting movement of the main holding plate 50a in a direction opposite to the pivoting movement of the main holding plate 50a. The main holding plate 50a is designed to be manually operated, in particular pivoted, by an operator, in particular a passenger. The main holding plate 50a is designed in particular to be manually grasped and pivoted by a passenger. When pivoted toward its maximum support position, the upper end of the main holding plate 50a is pivoted toward a front side edge of the table and / or storage plate 22a. In the use position of the table 20a, the main holding plate 50a is thereby pivoted toward the passenger seat 10a.The secondary holding plate 78a is designed to be pivoted toward the rear side edge 23a of the table and / or storage plate 22a by coupling it to the main holding plate 50a. When the PED holder 28a is adjusted between the stowed position and the maximum adjusted use position, the angle formed by the main holding plate 50a and the secondary holding plate 78a becomes increasingly smaller. In their maximum support positions, the main holding plate 50a and the secondary holding plate 78a form an acute angle with one another. In their maximum support positions, the main holding plate 50a and the secondary holding plate 78a form a smallest angle with one another. In their maximum support positions, the main holding plate 50a and the secondary holding plate 78a preferably form an angle between 60 degrees and 88 degrees with one another.Figure 10 shows a maximum adjusted use position of the PED holder 28a, in which the main holding plate 50a and the secondary holding plate 78a are arranged in their maximum support positions and, for example, enclose an angle of approximately 75 degrees with each other.

[0067] Figure 7 shows a stowed position of the PED holder 28a. The main holding plate 50a and the secondary holding plate 78a are arranged parallel to one another in the stowed position of the PED holder 28a. In particular, the main holding plate 50a and the secondary holding plate 78a are arranged in the recess 30a of the table and / or storage plate 22a in a stowed position such that the upper side 52a of the main holding plate 50a and the upper side 80a of the secondary holding plate 78a lie in a plane with an upper side 24a of the table and / or storage plate 22a. As a result, the PED holder 28a, with its main holding plate 50a and its secondary holding plate 78a, is arranged completely in the recess 30a of the table and / or storage plate 22a. In the stowed position, an upper edge of the main holding plate 50a forms a continuation of the side edge 23a of the table and / or storage plate 22a.The main support plate 50a forms a side edge of the table 20a with an upper edge in the stowed position. An upper end region of the main support plate 50a, in which the main support plate 50a has the elevation 56a, forms a continuation of the side edge 23a of the table and / or storage plate 22a.

[0068] The secondary retaining plate 78a is coupled to the main retaining plate 50a in a force-locking and form-locking manner to transmit the movement of the main retaining plate 50a. The main retaining plate 50a has a coupling element 100a at its lower end, which is provided for adjusting the secondary retaining plate 78a and is designed to be coupled to the secondary retaining plate 78a in a force-locking and / or form-locking manner. The coupling element 100a is designed as a form-locking element. The coupling element 100a is formed by a lower edge of the main retaining plate 50a. The lower edge of the main retaining plate 50a is preferably rounded to form the form-locking element 100a.

[0069] The secondary holding plate 78a has a corresponding coupling element 102a. The

[0070] Coupling element 102a of secondary retaining plate 78a is formed as a tab 104a extending away from secondary retaining plate 78a. Tab 104a is formed integrally with secondary retaining plate 78a. Coupling element 102a, formed by tab 104a, is formed as a positive-locking element that is in positive contact with coupling element 100a of main retaining plate 50a. Coupling element 100a of main retaining plate 50a preferably constantly abuts coupling element 102a of secondary retaining plate 78a formed by tab 104a.

[0071] When an operator adjusts the main retaining plate 50a from the stowed position or from an intermediate position toward the maximum support position, the secondary retaining plate 78a is driven along by the positive coupling of the coupling elements 100a, 102a and thus automatically pivoted further toward its maximum support position. The PED holder 28a can be securely fixed in any intermediate position between the stowed position and the maximally adjusted use position. The PED holder 28a, in particular the main retaining plate 50a and the secondary retaining plate 78a, are fixed in the corresponding angular position by the friction bearing unit 64a in a force-fitting, in particular friction-fitting manner. Holding forces, in particular weight forces of the PED 200a, which act on the main holding plate 50a and the secondary holding plate 78a, are supported in a force-fitting manner on the table and / or storage plate 22a via the friction bearing unit 64a.The main holding plate 50a is supported directly on the table and / or storage plate 22a via the friction bearing unit 64a. The secondary holding plate 78a is supported on the main holding plate 50a via the coupling elements 100a, 102a and on the table and / or storage plate 22a via the friction bearing unit 64a. Typical holding forces required to support smartphones or tablets can preferably be supported by the friction bearing unit 64a. To adjust the PED holder 28a, in particular the main holding plate 50a and the secondary holding plate 78a, the holding force of the friction bearing unit 64a must be overcome.

[0072] When the PED holder 28a is adjusted from a use position toward the stowed position, the secondary retaining plate 78a is automatically adjusted back toward its stowed position by the spring-loaded bearing unit 82a. To adjust the PED holder 28a into the stowed position, the main retaining plate 50a is manually operated, i.e., pivoted, by an operator, in particular a passenger. A force greater than the holding force of the friction bearing unit 64a must be applied. The main retaining plate 50a can be pivoted by the operator into the stowed position in the recess 30a. The coupling elements 100a, 102a do not transmit any forces between the main retaining plate 50a and the secondary retaining plate 78a. The secondary retaining plate 78a is automatically returned to its stowed position by the restoring force of the spring elements 96a of the spring-loaded bearing unit 82a.No additional actuation of the secondary holding plate 78a by the passenger is necessary.

[0073] In principle, it would also be conceivable for the secondary holding plate 78a to be designed to adjust the main holding plate 50a at least into a support position depending on its own movement. In this case, the secondary holding plate 78a would be designed to be manually operated, in particular manually pivoted, by an operator. The principle is analogous to the design described above.

The table and / or storage plate 22c is part of a fixed table 20c of the console. The table and / or storage plate 22c is formed by a console plate 106c of the console 18c. Preferably, the console 18c has an adjustable, in particular axially displaceable, table 108c. The displaceable table 108c is arranged on an underside of the console plate 106c.The movable table 108c can preferably be adjusted between a stowed position arranged below the console plate 106c and an extended use position.

[0078] The passenger seat device has a PED holder 28c. The PED holder 28c is integrated into the table and / or storage plate 22c. The PED holder 28c is fixedly connected to the table and / or storage plate 22c. The PED holder 28c is preferably arranged in an upper side 24c of the table and / or storage plate 22c. The table and / or storage plate 22c has a recess 30c. In contrast to the previous exemplary embodiments, the recess 30c is arranged in the front region of the table and / or storage plate 22c, which faces the passenger seat. The PED holder 28c is provided for connecting a PED, such as a smartphone or a tablet. The PED holder 28c has a movably mounted main holding plate 50c. The main holding plate 50c is pivotally mounted. The main support plate 50c is movably mounted on the table and / or storage plate 22c. The PED holder 28c has a secondary support plate 78c.The secondary holding plate 78c is arranged at a lower end of the main holding plate 50c. The secondary holding plate 78c is arranged below a lower end of the main holding plate 50c. The secondary holding plate 78c is movable, in particular pivotable, relative to the main holding plate 50c. The secondary holding plate 78c is pivotably arranged on the table and / or storage plate 22c. An essential structure of the PED holder 28c is essentially the same as in the first embodiment and will therefore not be described in detail here. Only the differences from the first embodiments are described below.

[0079] In contrast to the first two exemplary embodiments, the PED holder 28c is not arranged at an end of the table and / or storage plate facing away from the passenger seat. The PED holder 28c is arranged at a front end of the table and / or storage plate 22c. The front end of the table and / or storage plate 22c faces the passenger seat (not shown in detail). The PED holder 28c is integrated into the front region of the console plate 106c, which forms the table and / or storage plate 22c. By arranging the PED holder 28c at the front edge of the table and / or storage plate 22c, the secondary holding plate 78c is arranged at the edge of the table and / or storage plate 22c. The secondary holding plate 78c is arranged in an edge region of the recess 30c in the table and / or storage plate 22c and preferably closes off the recess 30c at the front. In the stowed position, the secondary retaining plate 78c preferably forms an edge of the console plate 106c.

[0080] In contrast to the first embodiments, the recess 30c has a grip recess 110c. The grip recess 110c is arranged in an area behind the main holding plate 50c, so that the main holding plate 50c can be grasped manually by an operator. The grip recess 100c is formed as a partial area of ​​the recess 30c. The grip recess 110c is arranged at an end of the recess 30c facing away from the edge area of ​​the table and / or storage plate 22c.

[0081] In principle, it would also be conceivable for the secondary holding plate 78c to be provided to actuate the PED holder 28c and to adjust the main holding plate 50c toward its support position. A coupling between the secondary holding plate 78c and the main holding plate 50c would comprise a gear mechanism, via which an actuating force transmitted from the secondary holding plate 78c to the main holding plate 50c is translated. The gear mechanism could, for example, be designed as a toothed gear. If the secondary holding plate 78c is provided for operation by an operator, the recessed grip 110c could, in principle, be omitted.

[0082] In principle, it would also be conceivable for the PED holder 28c to be arranged on the table 108c instead of on the console plate 106c. It would therefore be conceivable for the table top of the table 108c to be designed as a table and / or storage plate 22c.

[0083] Figure 13 shows a fourth exemplary embodiment of a passenger seat device according to the invention. The passenger seat device is part of a passenger seat (not shown in detail). The passenger seat device has a table and / or storage plate 22d. The table and / or storage plate 22d is only partially shown in Figure 13 and can basically be designed as in one of the first three exemplary embodiments in Figures 1-12. The passenger seat device has a PED holder 28d. The PED holder 28d is integrated into the table and / or storage plate 22d. The PED holder 28d is firmly connected to the table and / or storage plate 22d. The PED holder 28d is preferably arranged in an upper side 24d of the table and / or storage plate 22d. The PED holder 28d is provided for connecting a PED 200d, such as a smartphone or a tablet. The PED holder 28d has a movably mounted main holding plate 50d.The main holding plate 50d is pivotally mounted. The main holding plate 50d is movably mounted on the table and / or storage plate 22d. The PED holder 28d has a secondary holding plate 78d. The secondary holding plate 78d is arranged at a lower end of the main holding plate 50d. The secondary holding plate 78d is arranged below a lower end of the main holding plate 50d. The secondary holding plate 78d is movable, in particular pivotable, relative to the main holding plate 50d. The secondary holding plate 78d is pivotally arranged on the table and / or storage plate 22d. The PED holder 28d is essentially the same design as in the first embodiment and will therefore not be described in detail here. An explanation of the PED holder 28d can be provided based on the description of the first embodiment.

[0084] In contrast to the previous embodiments, the PED holder 28d has a holding element 112d. The holding element 112d is provided for additionally securing a PED 200d to the PED holder 28d. The additional holding element 112d of the PED holder 28d is arranged on the secondary holding plate 78d. The additional holding element 112d is movably connected to the secondary holding plate 78d. Preferably, the additional holding element 112d is pivotally mounted on the secondary holding plate 78d, in particular at a front end of the secondary holding plate 78d. The additional holding element 112d is provided to additionally fix the PED 200d attached to the PED holder 28d. Preferably, the additional holding element 112d is provided to firmly clamp a PED 200d with its lower end to the PED holder 28d. The additional holding element 112d is provided for clamping the PED 200d to the main holding plate 50d.The PED holder 28d has a spring-loaded bearing unit 114d, via which the additional holding element 112d is pivotally mounted on the front end of the secondary holding plate 78d. The spring-loaded bearing unit 114d has a spring element (not shown in detail) that exerts a spring force on the holding element 112d. The holding element 112d is preferably designed as a plate-like element. The holding element 112d is preferably arranged in a center of the secondary holding plate 78d, viewed in the transverse direction. The holding element 112d preferably has a width that is less than half the width of the secondary holding plate 78d. In principle, it would also be conceivable for the holding element 112d to extend across the entire width of the secondary holding plate 78d.

[0085] The holding element 112d can be pivoted between a stowed position and a holding position. In the stowed position, the holding element 112d rests with its underside on an upper side 80d of the secondary plate 78d. The holding element 112d preferably has an anti-slip layer on its upper side 80d, on which a PED 200d can be placed with its side in a slip-proof manner. Thus, a PED 200d can be securely held in a stowed position of the additional holding element 112d. In a holding position, the holding element 112d is pivoted out of its stowed position against the spring force. An underside of the holding element 112d faces the main holding plate 50d in the holding position. The holding element 112d is provided so that, in the holding position, its underside rests against a front side of the PED 200d.In the holding position, the holding element 112d is provided to be pressed by the spring force with its underside against the front of the PED 200d in order to clamp the PED 200d between itself and the main holding plate 50d.

[0086] In principle, it would also be conceivable for the additional holding element 112d to be designed merely as a pivotable flap which is intended to be aligned parallel to the secondary holding plate 78d in a holding position in order to expand a support surface of the secondary holding plate 78d.
