Description

Vehicle seat assemblies
The present invention relates to a kind of vehicle seat assemblies, and relate to a kind of vehicle seat of such seat of in such as the vehicle of aircraft, in a row arranging especially, with and supporting structure.
The line-spacing of seat or seatpiston constitute influence to holding how many passengers in the aircraft cabin in the aircraft, so it is extremely important for airline company.Consider that passenger's the several rows of seat of traveling comfort as far as possible places with being close together.Seat also needs to have the upright position sometimes and obliquity is had a rest to allow the passenger.
Traditional economy class aircraft seats is huge relatively.They are formed by the structural chair component that is coated with plastics usually.Thereby it is covered by thicker relatively shaping seat cushion and forms the comfort seat profile then.Seat is typically provided with storage bag at the rear of backrest, and this has limited the space of knee.This situation further worsens behind the backrest inclination, tends to influence the knee space of aft passenger simultaneously.
Simultaneously, several rows of seat is usually by the cross struts support below the seat cushions (seat pan) at its place ahead and rear.Seat leg is slidably mounted on the strut, and the vertical leg of the below at the rear of seat cushions partly tends to hinder the foot space of aft passenger.
In addition, handrail usually is installed in the position between the seat, usually in backrest on the track of side travel.This means and they can not be accepted fully that because when upwards pivoting, huge handrail and backrest collide and therefore more or less be left on the place ahead of seat.
The objective of the invention is by providing a kind of vehicle seat assemblies of vehicle seat and supporting structure that comprises to reduce these problems, wherein seat can in a row be arranged with best seatpiston.
According to an aspect of the present invention, provide a kind of supporting structure that is used for supporting the vehicle a plurality of seats side by side, described structure comprises at least one first elongated strut in the horizontal expansion of seat, at least one is installed to the seat leg assembly on the strut, and the leg assembly comprises: be arranged as the footing part that is used for installing described structure with the floor adjacency of the vehicle thereon; Be arranged as with the downside of seat in abutting connection with for attachment to the seat supporting part on the seat; And the centre portion that between seat supporting part and sole portion, extends; Wherein, during use, the centre portion of (respectively) strut and described or each leg assembly only all is arranged as below the previous section of each seat.
That footing partly is preferably is elongated, extend at fore-and-aft direction, thereby can be connected on the floor rail that for example is arranged on usually in the aircraft.Centre portion and (respectively) strut can for example be arranged as the below of the first half that is positioned at seat cushions.
Therefore, except that the place ahead of seat, the profile of the supporting leg of seat can very low (that is, near the floor), thereby the passenger who is sitting in the rear can be placed on under-seat with their pin, and interfere hardly with supporting structure.
This preferably realizes the footing part of an adjacent leg assembly, another adjacent seat supporting part by providing all at two struts of the previous section of seat cushions.In addition, lower supporting rod can be positioned at the rear of strut, thereby has reserved heel space or accommodation space for the passenger on the seat.
The leg assembly can comprise the first and second leg elements: first element comprises the footing part, and be installed on first and second struts and form the leg assembly centre portion a part extend upward part; Second element comprises the seat supporting part, and the downward extendible portion of other parts that is installed on first and second struts and forms the centre portion of leg assembly.Therefore, second element can be the form with side plate or suspension along the edge extension of each seat, and can be connected on the lower part at least of seat cushions and backrest by axle journal.Seat cushions and backrest can be connected on the suspension movably, for example pass through the slider and the performer of cooperation, thereby allow the banking motion of seat.Alternatively, seat can be fixed on respect to supporting structure in position.
By this layout, each seat all is arranged between a pair of second leg element.Therefore these elements are separated by the width of seat.Because the floor rail of aircraft is usually in the fixed position, the horizontal position of the first leg element is determined by orbital position.Therefore, depend on seat width, first and second elements of leg assembly can be adjacent to each other, or can be spaced.
The present invention also provides a kind of seat-assembly, comprise such supporting structure and supporting at least one seat thereon, wherein seat comprises seat cushions and backrest, and wherein when observing from the rear, the rear of seat cushions and have cooresponding convex in abutting connection with the rear of the backrest of seat cushions.Owing to do not have strut required in the prior art structure, make this possibility that becomes at the rear of seat cushions.For example, the side of the trailing edge of the lateral margin of the substrate of backrest and seat cushions can be crooked on the direction in the place ahead of seat.This makes aft passenger have more knee space in the side of the chair back.
Therefore, the present invention also provides a kind of seat-assembly, comprise supporting structure and thereon a plurality of seats of supporting abreast, each seat comprises seat cushions and backrest, and supporting structure comprises elongated horizontal expansion strut and at least one the leg assembly that is installed on the strut, wherein the lower edge of the trailing edge of seat cushions and backrest in its side to the place ahead of seat bending, and wherein strut is arranged in the place ahead of at least a portion of the trailing edge of seat cushions, thereby has formed recess to hold the knee that is sitting in back passengers in the side of each seat.
Preferably, strut is positioned at most of trailing edge of seat cushions or the place ahead of whole trailing edge in the position corresponding to the upright position of seat.
Because the knee of aft passenger does not need to be placed on the rear at the center of backrest and seat cushions, this makes the spacing of seat reduce, and therefore the bigger passenger of stature can put into their knee the recess of side.Arrange by this, strut can be only in the place ahead of the end of the bending of trailing edge, in the lateral margin of the adjacent seats chair cushion part that contacts.This optimum seeking site is for being about at least 5 inches, most preferably is in back-page the place ahead of backrest to be about 7 inches.The place ahead that the more close seat cushions of more strut can be arranged.
On the other hand, the invention provides a kind of seat-assembly of such seat-assembly of in the vehicle, in a row arranging, seat-assembly comprises seat cushions, backrest and is used for the supporting structure on the floor of the vehicle with seat cushions and back support, in the pivot location tiltable that centers between first upright position and second obliquity on the supporting structure, described pivot location is positioned at the top, bottom of backrest to backrest with respect to supporting structure.
Preferably, pivot location is at the height place of the knee height that approximates the passenger on the seat at least greatly.Therefore, when backrest during in obliquity, owing to move forward at the back part of shank height, the passenger at rear has further away from each other reduced the problem of the leg room that takies the passenger.In addition, higher pivot has reduced the invasion of backrest to the aft passenger space, especially passenger's head space.
The storage bag that is used by the passenger also can be included on the place ahead of leg assembly; That is, at the rear of passengers legs.This has further reduced by the interference to passengers knee-room of the backrest of forward seat.
Preferably, seat comprises and is used for seat cushions and backrest are locked in blocking device on the selected relative position, and comprises the manual unlocking member that is used for blocking device of the below that is positioned at seat cushions the place ahead.For example, it can be a bar, thereby the passenger starts and discharges seat and be used to move by it being promoted to seat.This layout has avoided providing the bevelled actuator as traditional aircraft seat in handrail.Therefore handrail can be more simply and unheavy structure.
The present invention also provides a kind of seat-assembly, comprise a plurality of seats that are arranged side by side, each seat all has backrest, and between substantially vertical stowed position and horizontal use location substantially pivotable handrail, pivot location is positioned at the place ahead of backrest or back pivot.For example handrail can be installed to from the flange that extends forward between the backrest.Arrange by this, thereby handrail can be packed up and is positioned at substantially on the plane relative with backrest or adjacent backrests.Because thereby handrail and backrest are arranged handrail when its stowed position and the backrest adjacency like this, handrail can not extend to the rear of backrest.This makes does not need to keep the ridge that is arranged on usually on traditional backrest side.In addition, owing to can arrive pivot under the situation of not removing seat, easier like this dismounting handrail is for example in order to safeguard.
Preferably, described handrail is shorter than traditional handrail; It for example is 1/3rd to 1/2nd of normal length.Because according to the present invention not needs to providing control, so this is feasible such as the recline button on the handrail.This helps handrail less to take passenger space, and has reduced to use the problem of traditional contingent higher big passenger's of handrail confined leg exercise.
The present invention also comprises a kind of seat-assembly, comprise seat cushions and backrest, seat is removable between the vertical and obliquity of seat by the banking motion of seat cushions and backrest, wherein the banking motion of seat cushions makes the place ahead of seat cushions move up relatively, and the banking motion of backrest makes the top of backrest relative to moving backward, and wherein the inclination move angle of backrest is about 3.2 times of seat cushions inclination move angle.This provides comfortable " cradle " position for the passenger.
When the rear of seat cushions moves down with respect to backrest, can on its trailing edge, flange be set, for this trailing edge of any breach that covers between seat cushions and the backrest extends upward.
Backrest can comprise the rigid frame member of shaping and the cushion member of shaping, and this cushion member only is applied to the front side of rigid frame member.Therefore framing member can form the back rest shape that needs, and cushion rubber can have simple thin contour.Therefore the shape of rigid frame member is preferably " S " curve corresponding to the natural curve of backbone.This layout provides the seat of less bulky construction.
Seat cushions can comprise displaceable element, and this displaceable element mobile makes to be adjusted with respect to the thickness in the seat cushions at its rear portion at the thickness of its anterior seat cushions.Therefore, in order to strengthen traveling comfort, the passenger can adjust the lumbar support height of seat effectively.The passenger can also adjust the relative height of the lower part of the thigh that supported or knee, thereby leg can be chosen at the optimum position.For example, thus taller and bigger passenger can reduce knee height cosily places their leg.Easily, this can finish by the seat cushions cushion rubber that comprises air bag in the wings, and air bag also alternatively one forwardly, and can be by passenger inflation or venting.
Alternatively, can have such as elastic component at the spring of the pivot pad in seat the place ahead biasing, its under the weight effect of passenger's leg with it to upper offset and pivot downwards.
For the present invention can more easily be understood, now accompanying drawing is carried out reference by example, in the drawings:

Figure 14 is the block diagram at rear of the seat-assembly of Figure 12; And
Figure 15 is the schematic birds-eye view according to the seat cushions of seat of the present invention, also shows the seat cushions back row simultaneously.
See figures.1.and.2, seat-assembly comprises a pair of seat, and each seat all comprises seat cushions 2 and backrest 4, and the supporting structure 6 that is used to support the base on the floor of the vehicle.Aircraft seat is installed on usually on the track that extend front and back on the (not shown) of aircraft cockpit floor.Supporting structure 6 comprises pair of leg assembly 8.Leg assembly 8 is " L " shape substantially, and first element 9 that each all comprises the sole portion 10 with elongated shape is used in known manner the floor rail attached to aircraft.The interference elongated and the sole portion 10 general planar shape reduces passenger foot space.
With reference to Fig. 8, show each possible profile of footing part 10.Improve the feasible material that can use thin cross-sectional plane of profile, therefore alleviated weight, this zone for aircraft seat is a key factor.Among Fig. 8 a, footing partly has the degree of depth of about 60mm.Among Fig. 8 b, the degree of depth is about 90mm, allows to reduce with the profile phase ratio of Fig. 8 a the weight of about 0.28kg.Shown in Fig. 8 c, if the degree of depth is about 150mm, the weight of then comparing first with Fig. 8 a may reduce about 0.52kg.Preferred profile has the degree of depth of about 100mm.
Refer again to Fig. 3, thus first element 9 extend upward part 11 is extended the leg assembly that forms the previous section below that is positioned at seat cushions 2 from its front end vertical centre portion.
The downward extendible portion 14 of second element 12 has further formed the some of the vertical centre portion of leg assembly.Second element 12 is the forms with side plate or suspension.Support 12 is generally elongated serpentine shape, has along middle part 15 that the lateral margin of seat cushions extends and along the top 17 that the lateral margin of the bottom of backrest extends, has turning 19 between middle part 15 and top 17.The seat supporting part of support 12 is formed at middle part and top 15,17.Thereby support 12 pivotally is connected to the banking motion that allows seat on seat cushions and the backrest, and this will be described below.
Leg assembly 8 is installed on the strut 16,18 that laterally extends up and down.Lower supporting rod 16 extends by mounting hole under it 22 last strut 18 by last mounting hole 20 extensions of each leg element 9,12 respectively.The following mounting hole 22 of first element 9 is adjacent with footing part 10, and second element, 12 its far-ends with downward extendible portion 14 are adjacent.Last mounting hole 20 is adjacent with the seat supporting part at the suspension 12 of the downside of seat cushions, and adjacent with the top that extends upward part 11 of first element 9.
Arrange that by this lower supporting rod 16 can be positioned at some position backward of strut 18.This has had the advantage that the passenger who makes in seat has more heel space.Alternatively, this space can be used for stores.For example, storage bag 50 can be installed to the positive (see figure 4) of leg assembly.Make to have had such advantage like this,, on the chair back in passenger the place ahead, do not need pocket, and now provide pocket aboard in this position usually that is that it has hindered knee space.
With reference to Fig. 9, in an example, the hole 22 that is used for lower supporting rod 16 is positioned at about 205mm place, below in the hole 20 that is used for strut 18, and the foremost portion in following hole 22 is positioned at about 19.5mm place, foremost portion rear in hole 20.
Because not having traditional strut, trailing edge under the trailing edge of seat cushions can be to protrude shape, and the lower edge of backrest can have cooresponding protrusion shape.Therefore formed recess 3 at every side place at the rear of each seat that is used to hold the aft passenger knee.
Also, can see having the trailing edge 100 of the seat cushions that the seat 102 at 104 places at the edge extends forward, compare that the distance between the back 106 of seat and the trailing edge 100 of forward seat can increase significantly with traditional plane chair back 108 with reference to Figure 14.
Also with reference to Fig. 4, support 12 is along not only extending between seat but also at the edge of the seat of each row's end.The neonychium 30 that the end of every row's support 12 can be had periphery bump bar 3 covers.Simultaneously, luggage bar 52 can extend to the end of downward extendible portion 14 from the turning 19 of the support between seat cushions and backrest 12, thereby keeps any passenger's luggage.As shown in figure 10, the selectable location of luggage bar can be that vertical component tilts to the turning of the support of the last strut 18 of adjacency.
At the seat-assembly of this explanation applicable to as fixed seat or as inclinable seat.Bevelled mechanism has been shown in this example.The upper end of each support 12 stops at adjacency pivot location 32 places.Thereby the backrest of each seat 4 is installed between two supports 12 around pivot location 32 tiltables.This position is positioned at the top on vehicle floor, in height be intended to substantially be sitting in seat on and their pin rest the height of knee 33 of the passenger 34 on the floor consistent or (also referring to Fig. 4) just above it.For example, 95% mediant of adult knee height is about 542mm, and therefore pivot height can be about 561mm, but can be low slightly or high slightly.In this example, backrest pivots around attachment point 32, but as described below, it can be alternatively to tilt around pivot path with the seat cushions similar fashion.When backrest detours the footpath when tilting, more than the pivot location of Xian Dinging is corresponding to the neither also mobile backward forward substantially position of backrest.
In addition, appreciiable is, because the convex of backrest, pivot location can be positioned on the seat with conventional flat backrest position forward.
Seat can be tilted by starting the bar 36 that is installed in below, seat cushions 2 front portions.Seat cushions 2 is installed on the support 12, thereby when the banking motion of backrest 4, while trailing edge 40 moves down thereby seat cushions 2 moves forward and inclination leading edge 38 moves up slightly.This can finish by slider and handling device, for example as shown in Figure 3, by processing guide path 41 or be used for be installed to seat cushions 2 edges, to the mechanical arm of the slider (not shown) of support 12.The inclined angle alpha of backrest is about 3.2 times of angle of inclination beta of seat cushions.This provides a comfortable crable position for the passenger.Arrange that by this seat cushions 2 is by being installed on the strut 18 and bolted connection additionally supports towards the place ahead to the support ring 45 of the downside of seat cushions 2.
Figure 11 illustrates the example of optional mechanism.When starting actuating lever 36, the cable that is connected to the release component 71 of gas support (gas strut) 72 is unblanked mechanism.If the power that the passenger on the seat is opposite to the backrest effect, the trailing edge of backrest inclination and seat cushions 2 is promoted forward by the lower end of the backrest that moves forward.The guide path 41 that moves in the support 12 that has been illustrated by reference Fig. 3 of seat cushions 2 leads.In whole banking motion, further towards the ways in the front of seat cushions 2 or the guiding that faces up that cam 78 helps seat cushions 2.Cam 78 is fixed on the support 80 of downside of seat cushions 2.When pad 2 moves forward, make cam 78 on fixed link 82, rotate, upwards promote support 80.When bar 36 was released, mechanism was locked in its position.
Seat cushions 2 is connected to a pair of bar 74,75, and this a pair of bar is in turn connected to gas support 72.When actuator 36 was started once more, the spring 76 in the gas support 72 pushed back to non-obliquity via cam 74 with seat cushions 2.
What also be installed in pivot location place on each side of each seat is the desk arm 46 that extends back, thereby the every pair of arm 46 is supported in the desk 48 between them, and this desk is in the other end place at seat rear (see figure 2).Aft passenger can be caught desk and pull down to the position of level substantially in use.On the top at the rear of each backrest, also be provided with screen 49 that uses for the passenger who is sitting in the rear and telephone receiver 51 with coil cord 53.Thin literature pocket is for example formed by flat layer of material, also can be arranged on the bottom 47 at backrest rear, for example can include safety card.This can be for example throws the net for being connected to one of backrest on side and base.The other storage bag 50 that the passenger uses can be installed to the place ahead of leg assembly.Life jacket also stores the below of seat into.
Also with reference to Fig. 6, the top of each support 12 comprises the flange 42 that is installed in the angle forward on the handrail 44.Handrail pivotally is installed on the flange 42, is used for cardinal principle level attitude in use and is parallel to substantially between the adjacent backrest collapsed state moving, and no matter backrest is in vertical or obliquity.Therefore armrest pivot point 43 (referring to Fig. 9) is positioned at the place ahead of backrest 4.This allows handrail fully to be packed up facing to backrest ground, thereby allows the passenger to pass in and out from seat.Because handrail does not need to support the control member such as recline button, it can be a simple structure and therefore volume is less.It also can be by the simple pivotal mounting separated with the remainder of seat-assembly and can be easily close.This armrest arrangement is suitable for tiltable or not tiltable seat.
Because handrail is facing to backrest, it has prevented from extending thereafter, and therefore in tiltable seat, when backrest with the handrail of packing up (that is, parallel) with backrest from when obliquity moves to the upright position, it also is pushed to the upright position with handrail.Thereby therefore do not need as known in the conventional seat assembly, from backrest extend with backrest in abutting connection with and prevent its tab at chair back rear extension.
Each all comprises rigid frame member 58 and 56 (not shown) the chair back 4 and seat cushions 2, on rigid frame member 58 and 56,, the cushion rubber 60,62 and 64 that is stained with correspondingly-shaped respectively bears lip-deep seat, back and headrest cushions thereby being respectively formed at the passenger.For example, cushion rubber can be stained with hook and ring or other such fastener.
Backrest is a rigid member, the seat back profile that the bodily fuctions that this rigid member is shaped as provides required learns.Therefore it formed the serpentine curve corresponding to the backbone natural curvature.In addition, backrest itself can approach; It is thick for example to be no more than about 30mm substantially.In addition, have visual aesthetic feeling, thereby do not need coating.Therefore, back and headrest cushions 62,64 can only be arranged on the front side of backrest, and can be simple thin type profiles, and be littler than traditional seat cushion covering assemblies volume.For example, cushion rubber can be no more than 30mm substantially or even not surpass the thickness of 20mm.Can use other the adhering apparatus that is used to cushion, the thin fabric skirt of the chair back 4 of for example reeling.Alternatively, Bao cushion layer can be in the continuity of the rear surface of backrest 58.This may be thinner than the layer in front.
Seat cushion 60 can comprise and is installed in a pair of air bag 66,68 of previous section to the cushion rubber of aft section respectively.The actuator (not shown) that the passenger can have known type is used for each safety air bag inflation or venting.For example, they can be direct access airbags, open inflation when passenger weight is removed, and open venting when effect weight.Alternatively, thereby the spring plate member can be arranged in the front portion of seat it to upper offset, and removable downwards when the weight by passenger's leg promotes.
Therefore the passenger can adjust the height of the rear of seat with respect to backrest, thereby the support region that can adjust clumsy backrest is to be fit to the passenger.Also can adjust seat leaning angle partly by airbag 66,68 safe in utilization.Therefore short and small passenger can reduce seat pan height and remove the pressure of thigh below by air bag is exitted, and seat cushions angled by producing, that still be supported, and tall and big passenger can more easily stretch leg.Because can obtain best leg position by short and small and tall and big passenger, this feature has also promoted the inclination of seatpiston.
In optional embodiment shown in Figure 10, toe board 70 is installed on the adjacent lower supporting rod 10, and the pivot that is used between the stowed position of seat cushions 2 and the use location that illustrates moves.
With reference to Figure 12, show optional seat support structure.In this embodiment, this structure comprises one of 84,86, two struts of two struts in the place ahead of the downside of seat cushions 2 and another is at the downside of seat cushions 2 rear more.The seat leg assembly comprises the elongated footing part 88 that is used to be installed on the aircraft floor rails.Seat cushions 2 and backrest 4 similar with shown in Fig. 1 to 9, and seat supporting part or support 90 support seat in a similar fashion, but more or less different in shape.The middle leg portion branch comprises that strut 84 extends to the preceding vertical member 92 in the place ahead of footing 88 in the past, and the back member 94 that extends to the rear of footing 88 from rear pole 86.Thereby back member 94 is towards the aduncate interference that has reduced with passenger foot space of front strut 84.Arm 96 links together front and back shank branch.Each also comprises the auxiliary cushion 99 that is used to increase comfort level headrest cushions 98 in this example.
Also with reference to Figure 14, can see that rear pole 86 is adjacent and in the place ahead of most of trailing edge of seat cushions with most of trailing edge of seat cushions, thereby still the knee for aft passenger provides recess 95 at the place, side of each seat.Alternatively, rear pole 86 can be positioned at the place ahead of the whole trailing edge of seat cushions.
Among Figure 13, show the relative position of the various piece of seat by way of example, all positions all be before foot point of connection 100 for benchmark.Accompanying drawing shows first supporting structure 112 corresponding to Fig. 1, and has covered second supporting structure 114 corresponding to Figure 12.The zone 102 that can see clumsy backrest 2 distance 108 of the place ahead of dorsal area 104 (two " bendings " of " S " curve) up is about 5 inches in the upright position.Be about 22.44 inches from the floor to the height 110 of back pivot.Can see from this figure, the rear pole 86 of second supporting structure 114 fully forward, and with 106 one-tenth distances 116 of the trailing edge of seat cushions 2, do not interfere significantly with the edge of bending.In this example, this distance is about 6.77 inches.Preferably, it is at least about 3 or 4 inches.
