Cushioning core and seat construction especially for an aircraft seat

摘要

A seat cushion section with a fiber core is elastically deformable and combined with a plastically deformable shock absorber seat section to form a seat structure, for example for an aircraft passenger seat. The fiber core of the cushion section has fibers therein which are substantially continuous or uninterrupted within the core volume because each fiber has only two ends and extends otherwise uninterrupted throughout the core volume between these two ends so that any pin effect of fiber ends sticking out of the cushion is minimized. The shock absorber seat section includes plastically deformable elements, such as honeycomb cells, for protecting a passenger during a crash.
