Abstract

The invention proceeds from a seat fastening for fastening a seat, in particular an aircraft seat, to a fastening rail, with at least one base body, which is provided at least for a vertical fastening in the fastening rail, and with at least one horizontal-fastening element, which is slidable with respect to the base body at least between a locking position and an unlocking position.
It is proposed that the seat fastening comprises at least one locking device, which is provided to fixate the at least one horizontal-fastening element in the unlocking position.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A seat fastening device for fastening a seat, in particular an aircraft seat, to a fastening rail, with at least one base body, which is provided at least for a vertical fastening in the fastening rail, and with at least one horizontal-fastening element, which fixates the seat fastening in the fastening rail in a horizontal direction, in particular in a longitudinal direction of the fastening rail, in at least one operating position and is slidable with respect to the base body at least between a locking position and an unlocking position, with at least one locking device, which is provided to fixate the at least one horizontal-fastening element in the unlocking position,
wherein the locking device is provided to move the horizontal-fastening element both in a vertical direction and in a horizontal direction, for the purpose of a displacement of the horizontal-fastening element between its locking position and its unlocking position,
wherein the locking device comprises at least one lever unit, by means of which the horizontal-fastening element can be displaced between the locking position and the unlocking position,
wherein the seat fastening device comprises at least one fastening element for fixating the base body, wherein the locking device is at least in the locking position provided to secure the fastening element, and
wherein the lever unit forms a form-fit element, which at least in a locking position engages into the fastening element in a form-fit fashion for the purpose of securing the fastening element.

2. The seat fastening device according to claim 1 , wherein the horizontal-fastening element engages around the base body.

3. The seat fastening device according to claim 1 , comprising at least one support element, which is provided to support the lever unit at least during a displacement of the horizontal-fastening element and in the locking position.

4. The seat fastening device according to claim 3 , wherein the support element is embodied as a bulge molded to the base body.

5. The seat fastening device according to claim 1 , wherein the base body comprises a form-fit element, upon which in the unlocking position the horizontal-fastening element lies for the purpose of fixating.

6. The seat fastening device according to claim 5 , wherein the form-fit element is embodied as a bulge molded to the base body.

7. The seat fastening device according to claim 5 , wherein the horizontal-fastening element comprises a form-fit element, which is at least in the unlocking position connected to the form-fit element of the base body in a form-fit, self-locking manner.

8. An aircraft seat with a seat fastening device according to claim 1 .

9. The seat fastening device according to claim 1 , wherein the horizontal-fastening element comprises four horizontal-form-fit elements at its underside, wherein two horizontal-form-fit elements are arranged at a lateral region of the horizontal-fastening element, and extend away from the underside of the horizontal-fastening element and have a contour that corresponds to pass-through openings of the fastening rail.
