Abstract

A flight attendant seat comprising a frame that can be mounted on a carrier fixture or integrated into the carrier fixture, and at least one seat arrangement integrated into the frame. The frame comprises a lower section, an upper section and a central section taking up the at least one seat arrangement, at least partially. The lower section is formed bent at least in a region adjoining the central section. A method is provided for fitting a flight attendant seat.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A flight attendant seat, comprising:
a frame that is mountable on a carrier fixture or integrated into the carrier fixture, and
at least one seat arrangement integrated into the frame,
wherein the frame comprises a lower section, an upper section and a central section surrounding the at least one seat arrangement, wherein the lower section is formed bent at least in a region adjoining the central section, wherein the frame is constructed from a first frame element and a second frame element, the first frame element and the second frame element each having complementary and substantially L-shaped cross sections such that the first frame element and the second frame element form a plug connection.

2. The flight attendant seat according to claim 1 , wherein the upper section of the frame is formed bent at least in a region adjoining the central section of the frame.

3. The flight attendant seat according to claim 2 , wherein the upper section and the lower section of the frame are formed in mirror symmetry relative to a transverse axis of the frame.

4. The flight attendant seat according to claim 1 , wherein the upper section and the lower section of the frame are formed differently.

5. The flight attendant seat according to claim 1 , wherein the frame has a surrounding flange section.

6. The flight attendant seat according to claim 1 , which comprises two seat arrangements integrated into the frame adjacent to one another.

7. A system comprising:
the flight attendant seat according to claim 1 mounted on the carrier fixture or integrated into the carrier fixture.

8. The system according to claim 7 , wherein the frame of the flight attendant seat surrounds a through opening formed in the carrier fixture.

9. The system according to claim 7 , wherein the carrier fixture is a monument wall or a partition wall.

10. An aircraft with a system according to claim 7 .

11. An aircraft with a flight attendant seat according to claim 1 .

12. A method for fitting a flight attendant seat, comprising:
mounting a frame on a carrier fixture or integration of the frame into the carrier fixture, wherein the frame comprises a lower section, an upper section and a central section and wherein the lower section is formed bent at least in a region adjoining the central section, wherein the frame is constructed from a first frame element and a second frame element, the first frame element and the second frame element each having complementary and substantially L-shaped cross sections such that the first frame element and the second frame element form a plug connection, and
integrating at least one seat arrangement into the frame, wherein the seat arrangement is inserted at least partially into the central section of the frame.

13. The method according to claim 12 , further comprising:
providing a through opening complementary to the frame in the carrier fixture;
inserting the first frame element into the through opening from a first side of the carrier fixture;
inserting the second frame element complementary to the first frame element into the through opening from a second side of the carrier fixture opposite to the first side; and
fixing the first and second frame elements to one another.

14. The method according to claim 13 , wherein the at least one seat arrangement is installed in the first frame element before the first frame element is inserted into the through opening, or is installed in the frame after the frame elements have been fixed to one another.
