Abstract

An aircraft seat device with at least one shell element, with at least one table unit, with at least one support device that is configured to obliquely connect the at least one table unit to the shell element at least in a stowage position, the support device comprising at least one rotational bearing unit, which is configured for pivoting the table unit between the stowage position and at least one intermediate position that is situated substantially in a horizontal plane, the support device comprising at least one linear bearing unit, which is configured for traversing the table unit between the intermediate position and at least one completely deployed usage position that is close to a seat.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An aircraft seat device comprising:
at least one shell element that defines a hollow that faces toward an aircraft seat and that forms a space in which an ottoman is arranged, wherein the hollow is defined by a first side wall, a second side wall, and an inclined upper wall of the shell element,
at least one table unit, and
at least one support device that is configured to obliquely connect the at least one table unit to the shell element at least in a stowage position, wherein in the stowage position the table unit is arranged completely in a space spanned by the shell element and covered by the inclined upper wall of the shell element, the support device comprising at least one rotational bearing unit, which is configured for pivoting the table unit between the stowage position and at least one intermediate position that is situated substantially in a horizontal plane, the support device comprising at least one linear bearing unit, which is configured for traversing the table unit between the intermediate position and at least one completely deployed usage position that is close to a seat.

2. The aircraft seat device according to claim 1 , wherein the linear bearing unit forms a bearing axis, which is oriented obliquely to a mounting plane.

3. The aircraft seat device according to claim 1 , wherein the support device comprises at least one locking unit, which locks the table element in the intermediate position.

4. The aircraft seat device according to claim 3 , wherein the locking unit comprises at least one actuation element, by means of which the locking unit can be unlocked and the table element can be moved out of the intermediate position.

5. The aircraft seat device according to claim 3 , wherein the locking unit comprises at least one securing unit, which prevents an unlocking until the table unit is completely arranged in the intermediate position.

6. The aircraft seat device according to claim 1 , wherein the table unit is implemented of a table base body and at least one table body, which is arranged so as to be pivotable in a transverse direction relative to the table base body.

7. The aircraft seat device according to 1 , wherein the table unit comprises at least one abutment element, which is configured, in a deployed state of the table unit, to prevent a displacement of the table unit from a usage position into the intermediate position.

8. The aircraft seat device according to claim 1 , wherein the support device comprises at least one locking module, by means of which the table unit can be secured on the shell element in the stowage position.

9. The aircraft seat device according to claim 8 , wherein the locking module comprises at least one securing element which is configured, for a securing of the table unit, to engage into the table unit sidewise in a form-fit fashion.

10. The aircraft seat device according to claim 1 , wherein the linear bearing unit comprises at least two guiding rails, which extend in parallel and are arranged in a side wall of the shell element.

11. The aircraft seat device according to claim 1 , wherein the support device comprises at least one support arm, which is linear displaceable by means of the linear bearing unit and is connected to the table unit so as to be pivotable via the rotational bearing unit.

12. The aircraft seat device according to claim 1 , wherein the support device comprises a usage position securing unit, which is configured for securing the table unit in the usage position when the table unit is not arranged in the intermediate position.

13. The aircraft seat device according to claim 11 , wherein the support arm forms a supplemental element in a region arranged behind the table.

14. The aircraft seat device according to claim 11 , wherein the support arm comprises at least one support surface, via which the table unit is at least partly supported in the usage position.
