Seat, especially an airplane seat

Abstract

A seat, preferably an aeroplane seat, includes a seat base () which can be positioned on the floor and seat components which are provided for each seat and are arranged on the seat base (). The seat components can be a seat back () and a seating element () with a front region () and a rear region (). The rear region is located at the point where the seating element joins the seat back (). The seat back can be displaced from an upright position to an inclined position and vice versa, simultaneously adjusting the inclination of the seating element (). The front region () of the seating element () essentially maintains its height above the floor. The rear region () sinks as the seat back () increasingly inclines. The seat back () has at least one first part () and one second part () which at least partially support each other with the adjacent surfaces and which can be displaced in relation to each other during the adjustment of the inclination of the seat back (). The inclination of the seating element () is automatically adjusted. As a result, the rear region of the seating element significantly sinks as soon as the seat back is slightly inclined towards the rear, with the front region of the seating element maintaining the same position.
