Description

of the hanging sleeping seat according to protection claims:

In airplanes in particular, there is no possibility of sleeping due to the lack of space often caused by the design and technical reasons, except for a very few beds (berths) for first class passengers,

However, the majority of air travelers are dependent on the seat they have booked.

The space available to the passenger is therefore limited to the right or left and by other seats, aisles or external walls; to the front and back by other rows of seats and/or walls.

Possible changes in the seating position can be achieved simply by a modest inclination of the seat backrest by approx. 10 - 15

A further inclination is usually not possible in order not to unreasonably restrict the already limited knee and general freedom of movement of the passenger behind.

This situation is stressful on long-haul flights, especially at night and when flying through several time zones.

The attempt to adopt a somewhat acceptable and relaxed sleeping position fails due to the sitting position dictated by the seat, whereby the angle of around 130 degrees formed by the upper body and legs leads to tension in the back and especially in the neck and cervical vertebrae area.

This problem is solved with the hanging sleeping seat.

The four length-adjustable straps make it possible to assume a variety of positions above the actual stationary seat.

This is possible up to an almost complete stretch of the body while simultaneously adopting different head positions, due to the integrated and padded headrest.

The suspension is conveniently done on snap hooks.
Cotton would be a suitable material for foam padding, particularly in the head and leg areas and in the buttocks area.

This makes it easy to clean, e.g. by washing.

Thanks to its flexibility, the hanging sleeping seat can be stowed in a small, flat box in/on the cabin ceiling without compromising flight safety.

Unnecessary swinging of the hanging sleeping seat is prevented by two straps attached to the left and right in the buttocks area, which in turn are connected to the stationary seat.

Thanks to the adjustable suspension belts, the seat belt requirement is also met.

The hanging sleeping seat has two eyelets for the legs and the seat width can be adjusted.
