Abstract:
A seating arrangement comprising at least three or more seats arranged in a row and adjacent each other in a side by side relationship to present two outer ends of said row, said seating arrangement further including a deployable side support arrangement associated with at least one of the seats at the outer ends of said row for providing side support for at least one passenger occupying the seating arrangement, the side support arrangement able to be stowed in a position away from its side supporting position.
Abstract:
A vehicle seat configuration, comprising or including, at least two columns of least, where all seats are facing in a direction parallel to each other, each seat in a first of the at least two parallel columns is offset in the seat facing direction to sit at least in part behind or in front, but not aligned with a seat in an adjacent column, such that adjacent seats of the two parallel columns overlap each other when vied in plan.
Abstract:
A row of a plurality of adjacent seats supported by a support frame. The seat includes a seat back, a seat pan and a leg rest. The leg rest of each seat includes a leg support surface and is mounted relative to the seat frame in a manner to allow it to move between (a) a stored condition and (b) a fully deployed condition where the seat pan and the leg rest support surface are substantially coplanar. The leg rest and seat pan of each seat in the row can cooperate to define a reconfigurable horizontal support surface for at least one passenger.

Abstract:
A seating arrangement suitable for a passenger vehicle cabin, the seating arrangement comprising a pair of seats aligned with each other, a movable (preferably horizontally aligned) upper bed assembly disposed vertically above at least part of both of the pair of seats; and a support frame extending upwardly from each of the seats, wherein the support frame is configured and adapted to facilitate guided movement of the upper bed assembly vertically between a retracted position in which the upper bed assembly is retracted towards the ceiling of the vehicle cabin for convenient storage, and a presented position in which the upper bed assembly is presented at a lower level above both of the seats, for supporting passengers in a substantially horizontal position.
Abstract:
A seating arrangement for location at the longitudinal centre line of a commercial passenger vehicle that has a longitudinally extending passenger seating area. The seating arrangement includes a pair of seats disposed alongside and secured to each other. Each seat comprising a backrest portion, and a seat pan portion, wherein the seats face at an acute angle to each other, and wherein the backrest portions of the respective seats are nearest the vertex of the acute angle than the seat pan portions.
Abstract:
The invention comprises a vehicle and seating arrangement having a central hub with four sides surrounded by four seats. The seats are arranged adjacent a respective side of the hub and facing substantially parallel to the side of the hub. In at least one embodiment, the arrangement provides access for each passenger to the aisle.

Abstract:
A vehicle seat comprising a seat base including a seat pan defining two opposite edges ("seat ends"), forming the base of the vehicle seat ("seat base"), a reversible backrest, the back rest including a back side and a front side and adapted to be able to offer support to a user in a seated position facing a first direction when the backrest is in a first position and to be able to offer support to a user in a seated position facing a second direction opposite to the first direction when the back rest is in a second position, an articulation mechanism operatively connecting the seat base and the back rest allowing the back rest to move between seat ends, and at a point in between, allowing the back rest to rotate, wherein the back rest is proximate more one of the other seat end when in the first position and the front side faces in the first direction and the back side faces in the second direction, and wherein the back rest is proximate more the other seat end when in the second position and the front side faces in the second direction and the back side faces in the first direction.
Abstract:
A tray table arrangement for use by a passenger sitting in an aircraft seat, the tray table arrangement supported by a support structure to allow it to be presented for use by the passenger, and comprising a bi-fold table comprising at least two juxtaposed table top members, a support arm extending between (i) the support structure and (ii) the bi-fold table, to support the bi-fold table, the support arm being rotationally secured to the support structure in a manner to move between (a) a stowed condition to position the bi- fold table at a distal more to the passenger location and (b) a deployed condition where the bi-fold table is in at least one proximate more to the passenger position, wherein in the deployed condition the bi-fold table can be presented in at least one mode for use by a passenger sitting in the aircraft seat a first mode where the two table tops are in a compacted relationship to each other and a second mode wherein the two table tops are in an expanded relationship to each other, and wherein the bi-fold table in the at least one proximate more to the passenger location is able to rotate about an axis parallel to the normal of the two table tops when in their first or second modes.
