Sitting and lying furniture system

摘要

A sitting and lying furniture system for vehicles, aircraft and the like is proposed, in which the seats (10, 12), which are initially arranged one behind the other, can be moved into a horizontal lying position by vertically adjusting each second seat (12). The space requirement for each seat situated in the lying position accordingly corresponds to the space requirement of two floor-mounted seats lined up one behind the other. Serving as the lifting mechanism is a rack-and-pinion adjusting device along a guide rod (13). The floor-mounted seat (10) and the lifting seat (12) can be adjusted via a special folding mechanism in such a manner that the seat upholstery is displaced both in its horizontal and in its vertical position.
