Abstract

An airplane seat device with at least one airplane seat is at least configured to be adjusted between a use position and a stowage position.
In the stowage position, the airplane seat has a maximum height which is equal to or less than a maximum height in the use position.

First claim

1 . An airplane seat device with at least one airplane seat which is at least configured to be adjusted between a use position and a stowage position, wherein, in the stowage position, the airplane seat has a maximum height which is equal to or less than a maximum height in the use position.

2 . The airplane seat device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein, in the stowage position, the airplane seat has an aisle side height which is less than 25 inches.

3 . The airplane seat device as claimed in claim 1 wherein the airplane seat has at least one backrest, at least one seat divider, at least one armrest, at least one seat bottom and/or at least one adjustment mechanism, wherein the backrest, the seat divider, the armrest and/or the seat bottom are at least partially adjusted during an adjustment between the use position and the stowage position of the airplane seat by means of the adjustment mechanism.

4 . The airplane seat device as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the at least one adjustment mechanism moves the backrest substantially vertically downward during an adjustment from the use position into the stowage position.

5 . The airplane seat device as claimed in claim 3 , wherein, at a rear end of the seat divider, the adjustment mechanism has at least one support point via which the seat divider is rotatably connected to the backrest and/or to the armrest.

6 . The airplane seat device at least as claimed in claim 3 , wherein, at the lower end of the backrest, the adjustment mechanism has a coupling point via which the backrest is coupled to the at least one seat divider in the use position.

7 . The airplane seat device at least as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the adjustment mechanism has at least one retraction kinematic which is configured, during an adjustment, for folding in the armrest into the stowage position.

8 . The airplane seat device at least as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the at least one seat divider has at least one coupling point which is designed as a recess and in which the coupling point of the adjustment mechanism, implemented by the backrest, engages in a form-fit manner at least in the use position.

9 . The airplane seat device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the airplane seat has at least one front seat foot which, for the transfer of the airplane seat into the stowage position, is configured to be decoupled from a guide rail.

10 . The airplane seat device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the airplane seat has at least one rear seat foot which is configured to be coupled to a guide rail via at least one coupling point.

11 . The airplane seat device at least as claimed in claim 3 , wherein, in the region of a rear support tube connection of the seat divider, the adjustment mechanism realizes a support point via which the seat divider is coupled pivotably to the rear seat foot.

12 . The airplane seat device as claimed in claim 1 , comprising at least one further airplane seat which realizes a seat row with the airplane seat.

13 . The airplane seat device as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the at least two airplane seats of a seat row are together adjustable between the use position and the stowage position.

14 . The airplane seat device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one airplane seat has a width of 14 inches in the stowage position.

15 . An airplane seat for an airplane seat device as claimed in claim 1 .
