Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention relates to an aircraft seat device comprising at least one table device which comprises at least one table surface and at least one adjustment device, which is provided for the purpose of adjusting the table surface between a stowed position and a use position. The adjustment device is provided for the purpose of moving the table surface in a linear displacement movement and a rotational movement at least substantially in one plane during an adjustment between the stowed position and the use position.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An aircraft seat device comprising: at least one table device which comprises at least one table top; and at least one adjustment device which is provided for adjusting the table top between a stowage position and a use position, wherein the adjustment device is provided for moving the table top, during adjustment between the stowage position and the use position, in a linear displacement movement and a rotational movement in at least substantially one plane, and the adjustment device for carrying out the rotational movement comprises at least a first rotary joint and a second rotary joint which configure dissimilar rotational axes, the first rotary joint and the second rotary joint are both attached to a single surface of the at least one table top. 2. The aircraft seat device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the linear displacement movement and the rotational movement are mutually independent. 3. The aircraft seat device as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the linear displacement movement and the rotational movement are configured so as to be at least partially successive. 4. The aircraft seat device as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the adjustment device for carrying out the linear displacement movement has at least two linear guides. 5. The aircraft seat device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the linear displacement movement and the rotational movement are configured so as to be at least partially successive. 6. The aircraft seat device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first rotary joint and the second rotary joint are arranged below a table bearing surface and are connected to the table top. 7. The aircraft seat device as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the first rotary joint and the second rotary joint which are connected to the table top are arranged on a rear end of the table top. 8. The aircraft seat device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first rotary joint and the second rotary joint which are connected to the table top are arranged on a rear end of the table top. 9. The aircraft seat device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the adjustment device for carrying out the linear displacement movement has at least a first linear guide and a second linear guide. 10. The aircraft seat device as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the at least the first linear guide and the second linear guide are configured as sliding guides. 11. The aircraft seat device as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the at least the first linear guide and the second linear guide are arranged so as to be mutually pivotable. 12. The aircraft seat device as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the at least the first linear guide and the second linear guide are arranged so as to be mutually pivotable. 13. The aircraft seat device as claimed in at least claim 9 , comprising a console which comprises at least one receptacle for the table device, the first linear guide being fixedly coupled in said receptacle. 14. The aircraft seat device as claimed in at least claim 13 , wherein the adjustment device has a third rotary joint which mounts the second linear guide so as to be rotatable to the console. 15. The aircraft seat device as claimed in at least claim 9 , wherein the first rotary joint couples the first linear guide, which is fixed in the receptacle, to the table top. 16. The aircraft seat device as claimed in at least claim 9 , wherein the first rotary joint that couples the first linear guide, which is fixed in the receptacle, to the table top, is delimited to a maximum pivot angle. 17. The aircraft seat device as claimed in at least claim 9 , wherein the second rotary joint couples the table top to the second linear guide. 18. An aircraft seat region having an aircraft seat device as claimed in claim 1 . 19. An aircraft seat device comprising: at least one table device which comprises at least one table top; at least one adjustment device which is provided for adjusting the table top between a stowage position and a use position; and a console which comprises at least one receptacle for the table device, wherein the adjustment device is provided for moving the table top, during adjustment between the stowage position and the use position, in a linear displacement movement and a rotation movement in at least substantially one plane, the adjustment device for carrying out the linear displacement movement has at least a first linear guide and a second linear guide, the first linear guide being fixedly coupled in the receptacle of the console, and the adjustment device has a rotary joint which mounts the second linear guide so as to be rotatable to the console.
