Definitions

  • a seat assembly comprising a seat portion constrained for movement in direction having at least a component of vertical displacement, a backrest portion linked to the seat portion and constrained so that the rake of the back portion varies as a function of the vertical displacement of the seat portion, sensing means for sensing any load applied to the seat portion, counterbalancing means for providing a counterbalance force acting to displace the seat portion in a sense to oppose the load, said counterbalancing means responding to the sensing means to achieve a level of counterbalance related to the load sensed by said sensing means.
  • Adjustment to the counterbalance is made when the occupant sits in the seat, such adjustment and therefore such power call (energy requirement) being made on the ground prior to take off, requiring minimal power to adjust the seat in flight or in emergency conditions. If a passenger stands up or vacates his seat, removing his weight from the load cell, the system will automatically reset to its default zero position, and will make a readjustment to the counterbalance only when a new occupant is in place.
  • each seat in the cabin is equipped with the same circuitry and the console 112 contains an override switch 106 for each seat, it can be seen how the pilot or cabin crew can readily determine the level of comfort that each seat is allowed to achieve.
  • the circuitry described is in very simplistic format, other sensing means can be used to sense when the seat has reached a predetermined vertical level and other means used to prevent or allow continued movement of the seat beyond that predetermined level.
  • the position of the seat can, for example, be sensed by optical sensors or by devices for counting the rotations of the motor.
  • the console may contain a touch-screen and computer software to allow or permit selected seats to travel beyond the predetermined level.

Abstract

L'invention se rapporte à un ensemble siège comprenant un mécanisme d'équilibrage qui sert à transmettre une force d'équilibrage à une section de siège (2) qui est retenue de façon coulissante le long d'une trajectoire inclinée. La force d'équilibrage varie en fonction de la charge détectée dans la section de siège par une cellule de charge (40).
