Abstract
An aircraft passenger chair has a support frame, a seat and a backrest. A position adjustment mechanism is coupled between the frame and the backrest by a unidirectional force transmission to permit tilting the backrest clockwise forward into a parking position while simultaneously shifting the seat backward independently of the position adjustment mechanism to increase the space between two rows of seats. Operating the position adjustment mechanism tilts the backrest counterclockwise from an upright position into a rest position and returns the backrest into its upright position. Bringing the backrest into the parking position and shifting the seat simultaneously backward is independent of tilting the backrest into a rest position. Similarly returning the backrest and the seat into the respective normal position is also independent of returning the backrest from the rest position into the normal position.
