CONVERTIBLE SEAT INTENDED TO ACCOMMODATE AN AIRCRAFT PASSENGER

摘要

This seat comprises a frame (14), a seat-rest (2) borne by the frame (14), a back-rest (4) and a foot-rest (6) hinged along a transverse edge of the seat-rest (2). This seat can change from a so-called seated position in which the back-rest (4) forms an angle with the seat-rest (2) and its base (24) is close to the rear transverse edge of the seat-rest (2) to a so-called lying-down position in which it has a substantially planar surface intended to accommodate the passenger in lying down position. The frame (14) is a fixed frame. At most two of the members of the group constituted by the seat-rest (2), the back-rest (4) and the foot-rest (6) form the substantially planar surface of the seat in lying-down position. At least one additional berth portion is provided to cooperate with the seat-rest (2) and/or the back-rest (4) and/or the foot-rest (6) to form the substantially planar surface intended to accommodate the passenger in lying-down position.
