An aircraft seat includes an actuator and a movement transmission device. The movement transmission device includes a frame having at least one bearing face and one braking face; a drive body configured to being rotated relative to the frame, the drive body having a bearing face and a braking face; and an elastic element suitable for keeping the braking face of the drive body at a defined distance from the braking face of the frame, the elastic element having a determined stiffness and being prestressed such that, when an axial load greater than a threshold load is applied to the drive body, the braking face of the drive body comes into contact with the at least one braking face of the frame.

Aircraft seat

An aircraft seat includes an actuator and a movement transmission device. The transmission device includes a frame provided with an immobilizing portion and a drive shaft. The transmission device further includes a gear wheel provided with coupling teeth having inclined side walls and a sleeve with an immobilizing portion complementary to the immobilizing portion of the frame, and coupling teeth having inclined side walls. The transmission device also has an elastic member configured to push the sleeve. The stiffness of the elastic member and the inclination of the side walls of the coupling teeth of the gear wheel and sleeve are chosen such that, when a torque greater than a threshold torque is applied to the gear wheel, the sleeve slides on the drive shaft from a position of coupling the sleeve to the gear wheel to a position of immobilizing the sleeve relative to the frame.
