Abstract

An airplane seat device has a seat base module, comprising at least one main body which is at least substantially implemented from a rigid foam, at least one comfort element disposed on an upper side of the main body, at least one accommodating region for attaching to a tubular support, and at least one fastening element for attaching to the tubular support, wherein the main body has at least two coupling regions, via which the at least one fastening element can be selectively attached to the main body.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An airplane seat device with a seat base module, comprising
at least one main body, which is at least substantially implemented from a rigid foam;
at least one comfort element, which is disposed on an upper side of the main body;
at least one accommodating region which is adapted to be attached to a tubular support;
at least one fastening element, which is adapted to attach the main body directly to the tubular support, wherein the main body has at least two coupling regions, via which the at least one fastening element can be selectively attached to the main body,
the main body includes through-bores, which extend from a lower surface to an upper surface of the main body,
the fastening element extends through the through-bores, and
the fastening element is adapted to encircle the tubular support and a portion of the main body.

2. The airplane seat device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the coupling regions are disposed in the accommodating regions.

3. The airplane seat device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the seat base module has at least one spacer which in a mounted state is disposed in the at least one accommodating region and is configured for spacing apart the main body and the tubular support.

4. The airplane seat device as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the seat base module in the at least one accommodating region has at least one form-fitting and/or force-fitting element, via which the spacer is captively fastenable in the accommodating region.

5. The airplane seat device as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the seat base module in the at least one accommodating region has further form-fitting and/or force-fitting elements which are disposed to be mutually spaced apart and by which the at least one spacer is captively fastenable in the accommodating region.

6. The airplane seat device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one fastening element is embodied as a tape via which the main body is connectable to the tubular support.

7. The airplane seat device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one fastening element is embodied as a hook-and-pile tape.

8. The airplane seat device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one fastening element has at least one attachment region, via which the comfort element is fixedly connectable to the fastening element.

9. The airplane seat device as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the attachment region of the at least one fastening element is embodied as a pile or hook region.

10. The airplane seat device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the seat base module has at least one reinforcement element that is disposed on an underside of the main body.

11. The airplane seat device as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the at least one accommodating region is implemented by the main body for an attachment to one of the tubular supports and is disposed to be spaced apart from the at least one reinforcement element.

12. The airplane seat device as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the reinforcement element is implemented by a substantially thin plastics layer.

13. An airplane seat having an airplane seat device as claimed in claim 1 .

14. A seat base module for an airplane seat device as claimed in claim 1 .

15. An airplane seat device with a seat base module, comprising
at least one main body, which is at least substantially implemented from a rigid foam;
at least one comfort element, which is disposed on an upper side of the main body;
at least one accommodating region, which is adapted to attach to a tubular support; and
at least one fastening element, which is adapted to attach to the tubular support, wherein
the main body has at least two coupling regions, via which the at least one fastening element can be selectively attached to the main body,
the seat base module has at least one spacer, which in a mounted state is disposed in the at least one accommodating region and is configured for spacing apart the main body and the tubular support, and
the seat base module in the at least one accommodating region has at least one form-fitting and/or force-fitting element, via which the spacer is captively fastenable in the accommodating region.

16. An airplane seat device with a seat base module, comprising
at least one main body, which is at least substantially implemented from a rigid foam;
at least one comfort element, which is disposed on an upper side of the main body;
at least one accommodating region, which is adapted to attach to a tubular support; and
at least one fastening element, which is adapted to attach to the tubular support, wherein
the main body has at least two coupling regions, via which the at least one fastening element can be selectively attached to the main body,
the seat base module has at least one reinforcement element that is disposed on an underside of the main body, and
the at least one accommodating region is implemented by the main body for an attachment to one of the tubular supports and is disposed to be spaced apart from the at least one reinforcement element.
