A seat 1, such as a passenger aeroplane seat, comprises pivotally interconnected seat back 2 and seat members 4 movable together in a single action in which seat 1 as a whole opens out, (in transition from fig.2 to fig.1) as the seat back 2 tilts backwards and moves downwards, and the seat member 4 moves forwards. This action might also be described as a rocking facility in which the seat member 4 and seat back 2 in combination may be said to rotate around a common virtual axis 14. The seat may be provided with arcuate guides 10, 12 and corresponding extensions 6, 8 to enable such an action. The seat member 4 may tilt independently (fig.6) to a position adjacent the seat back 2 to aid the passage of a user past the seat 1. The seat may be of low loft / thickness, for example, using of a webbing material (41, fig.7). The seat 1 may further feature a nesting arm rest arrangement (figs. 3 and 4) and at least one inflatable section (50, 52, 56, fig. 8) in the seat member 4 to aid user comfort. |
