SUPPORT STRUCTURE FOR A SEAT WITH A TABLE FUNCTION AND CORRESPONDING SEAT SUSPENSION ARRANGEMENT

摘要

In a seat with a table function, an upper portion of the backrest can be pivoted forward so as to bring a back surface of the backrest into a horizontal position so that it can be used as a table. A support structure (2) in the form of an articulated suspension is provided which provides support for upholstery of the seat and at the same time also gives the necessary freedom to the backrest to be pivoted forward. The support structure (2) comprises a first portion (2a) and a second portion (2b) which are connected so as to be pivotable with respect to each other. Both the first portion (2a) and the second portion (2b) are essentially formed of a wire framework consisting of a pair of lateral side wires (4a, 4b) and transverse wires (8a, 8b) extending between the lateral side wires (4a, 4b).
