- a sector spring 170 located between the two seats (FIGS. 31 and 32), which pivots the seat upwardly about left and right pivots I71 and 172.
- the rearward portion of the botton surface thereof engages a control button 173 on the rear side of the stretcher tube 167 which operates the hydraulic switch cylinder 169 which extends horizontally within the stretcher tube.
- the switch cylinder 169 is operatively connected to the hydraulic motor 163 by a cable 174 which connects with the cable by a T-connector 175.
- the switch cylinder 169 activates the release valve of the hydraulic motor 163, thereby causing the back 33 to return to the normal upright position shown in FIG. 29.
- the hydraulic motor 163 is pivotally mounted on pivot pin 176 which extends through the pair of brackets 17,7 and 178, which are in turn mounted between a pair of brackets 179 and 180.
- the tray support 153 is held between the bracket 180 and a third bracket 181.
- the three brackets 179-181 are attached to a plate 182 which is secured to the rear stretcher tube 183.
- Pivot pins 184 extends through the three brackets, 179-181, and pivotally supports the back 33, the brackets 177 and 178, and the tray support.
- brackets 177 and 178 pivot about the pin 184 as grooves 185 provided in the brackets swing rearwardly relative to pin 186 which extends between the brackets 179 and 180.
- the hydraulic motor 163 includes a cylinder 187 which is pivotally secured to the pin 176 and a piston 188 which is pivotally secured to a pin 189 which is attached to the back.
- the piston 188 extends from the cylinder 187, the back pivots about the pin 184 from the reclined position to the upright position.
- the end of the grooves 185 are pushed against the pin 186 as the piston extends, and the brackets 177 and 178 are thereby prevented from rotating counterclockwise.
- brackets and support pins can be mounted adjacent theother end of stretcher 183.
- the pivot pins 171 and 172 for supporting the seat are mounted, respectively, to an end longitudinal stretcher 191 and a center longitudinal stretcher 192.
- the end longitudinal stretcher 191 is provided with openings 193 to reduce the weight thereof, and the center longitudinal stretcher is solid.
- the front and rear stretcher tubes 167 and 183 and the end and center longitudinal stretcher tubes 191 and 192 are all supported by the supporting legs 36 of the seat assembly.
- the seat pivot pin 172 is rotatably supported by the longitudinal stretcher 192, and a sector 194 is secured to the outer end of the pin.
- a constant rate torsional leaf spring 170 is attached to the sector by anchor plate 195 and a bolt 196 (FIG.
- the leaf spring extends forwardly over a pivot roller 197 secured to the stretcher 192 and forms a coiled end-170a beyond the roller.
- Flip-up pivot plate 198 guides the leaf spring as it winds up.
- the leaf spring has a natural tendency to coil about the pivot roller 197 as shown in FIG. 32, and thereby maintains the seat in the raised position when it is unoccupied.
- the pivot pin 172 rotates clockwise as viewed in FIGS. 31 and 32 and unwinds the leaf spring about the roller 197 into an unnatural straight position with just a short coiled end 170a as shown in FIG. 31.
- the leaf spring winds up as shown in FIG. 32 and returns the seat to the raised position.
- the seat and back actuating mechanisms is apparent from the foregoing description.
- the seat 35 When the seat is occupied, the seat 35 will be in the down position illustrated in FIG. 28, and the occupant may wish to have the back in the reclined position as shown.
- the leaf spring When the occupant rises, the leaf spring returns the seat to the upright position where it engages the control button 173.
- the control button operates the release valve of the hydraulic motor 163 to extend the piston 188, thereby returning the back from the reclined position to the upright position, in which it will not interfere with the passenger in the next seat rearward.
- the seat is automatically raised to an upright position to provide maximum walking space for the passengers, and the back is automatically returned to the approved upright position for takeoff and landing.
- An airplane seat assembly including a frame, a generally upwardly extending back portion mounted on the frame, and a seat portion mounted on the frame, wherein the improvement comprises: said seat portion having a rigid base, a cushion secured to the base and extending thereabove, an air-tight, inflatable box-like bag interposed between the cushion and the base, resilient filler material capable of retaining air when expanded and expelling air when flattened and located within the bag and urging said bag to an expanded condition of maximum height and air capacity; unidirectional valve means on said bag for permitting air to flow into said bag to expand it under the urging of said filler material; and hand actuatable release means associated with said valve and accessible to an occupant of said seat for opening said valve to expel air from said bag and said filler material under pressure from the weight of said occupant to adjust the height of said occupant in said seat; said cushion being removably secured to the base to permit removal of the bag from between the cushion and the base, said base including a generally rectangular metal pan having a generally planar bottom and upwardly
- blow tube means associated with said bag for inflating the bag by mouth when the bag is removed from the seat portion to provide greater buoyancy when said bag is used as a flotation cushion.
- saidbag further comprises a looped strap secured to one side thereof and extending beyond it to provide a pair of arm loops.
