Abstract
A vehicle seat, especially for aircraft, includes a seat part ( ) and a backrest ( ) displaceable relative to each other by at least one adjustment device ( ). The adjustment device ( ) is provided with a plurality of articulation points ( ) interconnected via a bar-type supporting frame ( ) with individual bar elements ( , and ). The frame raises and supports the seat part ( ) relative to the vehicle or cabin floor and effects a displacement movement by an actuator ( ). The seat part ( ) can be brought from an initial position ( ) into at least one further position (II, III) and back. Depending on the number of articulation points and bar elements of the frame, the number of possible movements and the degree of freedom of movement of the seat part is substantially higher than in known systems. The seat part and the backrest can be safely positioned within a very wide range of adjustable positions.
