Definitions
- Invention relates to back used as back breaking in heavy and light commercial vehicle seats and in all vehicle seats.
- the invention particularly relates to seat back remaining in parallel position even in case of changing seat back angle, offering aesthetic appearance thanks to feature of being hidden into seat and offering advantage in terms of weight due to comprising less parts in comparison to current systems.
- Passenger seats used in public transports basically comprises back, seat, moving mechanism and headrest.
- Moving mechanism is used to change position/angle of back and in some cases, seat.
- Headrests of different features and designs are used in seats of public transports used today such as bus, minibus etc. Headrest can be uniform with back as well as designed separately.
- One example of said embodiments is the invention disclosed under patent numbered TR201617662 and entitled “A Complete Seat”.
- the invention relates to a complete seat opening outward in stages and functioning as back support in the first stage, as glass holder and tray in the second stage, also capable to be inflated by hot or cold air and also capable to be filled by air of differing pressure as well as by air of differing temperature and comprising an inflatable member provided to keep inner side at a preferred temperature value by circulating air therein constantly.
- Another example is the invention disclosed under utility model numbered TR201705820 and entitled “Adjustable Tablet”.
- the invention relates to an adjustable tablet mounted to rear part of passenger seats in transport vehicles such as bus, minibus, train, ship, aircraft etc. and used by passengers to put their food, drinks and properties and particularly adjustable to an angle preferred by passengers.
- Present invention relates to back meeting all above mentioned needs, eliminating all disadvantages and bringing some advantages and used as back breaking in heavy and light commercial vehicle seats and as service table in all vehicle seats.
- the purpose of invention is to provide parallel position of tablet or upper back in all cases when seat back angle is changed thanks to seat back embodiment developed hereunder.
- Purpose of the invention is to provide elimination of adverse consequences that might occur in visual terms thanks to the system of hiding seat back into the seat.
- Another purpose of the invention is to provide less weight of total seat weights thanks to comprising less parts of seat back in comparison to current systems.
- a further purpose of the invention is to provide protection of position of parallel to horizontal plane in case seat back angle is changed thanks to balance wire that seat back comprises.
- Another purpose of the invention is to provide stopping and remaining of upper back group parallel to horizontal plane thanks to stopper that seat back comprises.
- a further purpose of the invention is to provide bringing seat back from folded position to current position thanks to spiral spring that seat back comprises.
- Figure 1 shows general schematic view of demounted seat back system of the invention.
- Figure 2 is schematic general view of upper back group in current position.
- Figure 3 is schematic general view of upper back group in folded position.
- Figure 4 is a schematic general view of seat back system cross-section.
- Figure 5 is a front schematic general view of seat back system in folded position.
- Figure 6 is a schematic general view of seat back system in folded position.
- Figure 6a is a schematic general view of stopper part and balance wire when seat back system is in folded position.
- Figure 6b is a schematic general view of back frame and balance wire when seat back system is in folded position.
- Figure 7 is a schematic general view of seat back system in current position.
- Figure 7a is a schematic general view of stopper part and balance wire when seat back system is in current position.
- Figure 7b is a schematic general view of back frame and balance wire when seat back system is in current position.
- seat back system (10) used as back breaking in heavy and light commercial vehicle seats and as service table (17) in all vehicle seats of this invention is disclosed only as an example for the purpose of better understanding of the subject and described in a manner not causing any restrictive effect.
- Seat back system (10) shown in figure 1 can be used in commercial vehicle seats, aircraft seats and seats having service table (17). Stopper part (12) is placed in said seat back system (10) for providing stopping of upper back group (15) and keeping it in parallel to horizontal axis. Said upper back group (15) supports seat headrest and shoulder area and is also used as service table (17) thanks to housing provided in rear area. Said upper back group (15) is connected to back frame
- Said seat back system (10) comprises balance wire (11) providing remaining of upper back group (15) parallel to horizontal axis.
- Spiral spring (13) is provided to provide return from folded position to current position. It provides advantage in visual terms thanks to hidden seat back system (10) into back and head rest parts of seat as shown in figure 2.
- Seat back system (10) shown in Figure 3 provides service table (17) to remain in position parallel to ground in all cases when back angle is changed.
- Lower connection point of back frame (14) provided in seat back system (10) shown in figure 4 forms turning center.
- folded seat upper back group (15) folded independent of change in seat back angle or service table (37) is provided on 4-arm seat back system (10). Length of parts used in said seat back system (10) should have correct position and connection angle.
- upper back group (15) or service table (17) shown in figure 6a comes to open position, it contacts stopper part (12) and conducts locking.
- Balance wire (11) located on other side of said stopper part (12) becomes active.
- seat back frame (14) protects its parallel position with horizontal thanks to folded upper back group (15) or service table (17) balance wire (11) and stopper part (12).
- Button (16) is lifted to bring folded upper back group (15) or service table (17) shown in figure 7 to former/current position. Thus lock is unlocked and spiral spring (13) is brought to former position.
- Balance wire (11) angle, length and position shown in figure 7a and stopper part (12) position, angle and connection distance are to be the same.
- Balance wire (11) shown in figure 7b works in constantly tightened logic.
- Said balance wire (11) provides simplification of seat back system (10) and obtaining lightness by use of less number of parts.
