A storage compartment arrangement for a cabin of a vehicle has a storage compartment, housing, storage compartment opening, lower compartment, and upper compartment. The compartments are directly above each other and separated by an intermediate base pivotable at least in sections into the upper compartment. Items of luggage can be placed onto a lower horizontal pivoting edge and pushed into the lower compartment. Adjacent to a lower delimitation of the upper compartment, when the intermediate base is not pivoted, an upper horizontal pivoting edge is formed, onto which items of luggage can be placed and pushed into the upper compartment. The upper compartment has an upper opening edge adjoined by an auxiliary surface extending over the upper compartment, is at an angle in a range of 10° to 50° to the intermediate base and, as the distance from the upper delimitation increases, encloses an increasing distance from the intermediate base.

A storage compartment arrangement for a vehicle cabin having a storage compartment, housing, closable storage compartment opening, lower compartment section in the housing, and upper compartment section in the housing. The storage compartment opening extends over the structural heights of both compartment sections. Items of luggage can be placed onto a lower horizontal pivoting edge and pushed into the lower compartment section. An upper horizontal pivoting edge is provided onto which items of luggage can be placed and can be pushed into the upper compartment section. The storage compartment opening has an upper opening edge facing an upper side of the upper compartment section and is adjoined by an auxiliary surface extending over the upper compartment section, is at an angle in a range of 10&#xb0; to 50&#xb0; to the separating plane, and, as the distance from the upper delimitation increases, encloses an increasing distance from the separating plane.

A passenger seat system for a transportation system includes at least one support structure and at least one seat, which includes a seat frame, which is movable and arrestable on the support structure and has an underside that rests on the support structure and an upper side that receives a seating surface. The seat frame has an arresting device on the underside and an operating unit on the upper side coupled with the arresting device. This is movable into an arresting position and a release position and is blockable at least in the arresting position through a lockable blocking device. The arresting device is adapted for arresting the seat frame on the support structure with the operating unit being in the arresting position and to release it with the operating unit being in the release position.

A fastening system for passenger seats in a vehicle cabin has two or more guide rails to be integrated into or onto a cabin floor, and a plurality of slides, to be brought into engagement with the guide rails and having a flange for connection to a passenger seat in order to retain the passenger seat on a guide rail. Each guide rail has a profile cross section, perpendicularly to a main axis of extent, having a base region and a supporting region. Each slide has a cavity of complementary design with the profile cross section. The guide rails have a plurality of transverse openings spaced apart from one another between the base region and the supporting region. At least one slide has a displaceably mounted retaining body which, when the slide is in engagement with the guide rail, can be brought into engagement with one of the transverse openings.

A rail covering for a sliding seat rail between two passenger seats in a cabin of a vehicle has a first and a second elongate covering element. The first and second covering elements are formed complementary with respect to each other, allowing the first covering element to telescopically engage with a lower side of the second covering element. The first covering element has, at least in regions on a lower side, a first guide which displaceably holds the first covering element on the sliding seat rail along the main direction of extent thereof. The second covering element has an open end arranged on the end side and, at an end arranged oppositely on the end side on a lower side, has a second guide which displaceably holds the second covering element on the sliding seat rail along the main direction of extent thereof.

A passenger seat system) for a transport means has an elongate carrier structure, to be attached, fixedly with respect to a structure, mutually spaced-apart raster openings on the carrier structure top side, and a seat having a seat frame. The seat frame is displaceable and arrestable on the carrier structure, has a bottom side lying on the carrier structure, a top side holding a seat surface, an arresting device on the bottom side and an operating unit coupled to the arresting device, and movable into an arresting position and an unlocking position. The arresting device has an arresting body, mounted so as to be movable perpendicularly with respect to the carrier structure and pushed by a spring device, by a spring force, into an arresting position, and a locking unit for automatically holding the arresting body in the arresting position when the arresting body reaches the arresting position.

A fastening system for passenger seats in a vehicle cabin has two or more guide rails to be integrated into or onto a cabin floor, and a plurality of slides, to be brought into engagement with the guide rails and having a flange for connection to a passenger seat to retain the passenger seat on a guide rail. Each guide rail has a profile cross section, perpendicularly to a main axis of extent (x), having a base region, a supporting region and an undercut situated therebetween. Each slide has a cavity, of complementary design with the profile cross section, and a necked region, to be brought into engagement with the undercut, thus enabling the supporting region to be enclosed by the cavity of the slide. Each slide has a rotatably mounted roller projecting into the necked region and can be brought into surface contact with a guide rail surface.

A rail system for a vehicle includes a floor rail integratable into or onto the floor, first elongate movement rail elements, second elongate movement rail elements, holding devices to hold the movement rail elements on the floor rail, and gliders supportable on the movement rail elements in a gliding manner. The movement rail elements have a rail profile cross-section perpendicular to their main extension axis; the cross-section has an undercut that faces laterally outwards. The movement rail elements each have two opposed end faces, which can be brought into contact with end faces of other movement rail elements, such that at least one continuous movement rail with a constant rail profile cross-section is created. The gliders include a recess corresponding to the rail profile cross-section for gliding support.

For a seat group arrangement for a passenger cabin of an aircraft it is proposed to realize a temporary enlargement of the circulation area by widening the longitudinal aisle of the aircraft for the entry and exit period. For this purpose, a passenger seat group has a supporting frame which is provided with seat legs for fastening to the aircraft floor. At least one first fixedly secured seat having in each case a seat part and in each case a backrest and a further seat which is movable in the transverse direction and has a seat part and a backrest is provided on the supporting frame. The further seat is connected to the supporting frame via a folding device, and the folding device is configured to realize a change in width of the further seat in relation to the seat legs of the supporting frame.
