Description of the embodiments

Figures 1 to 3 show a first embodiment of a transport seat device according to the invention. The transport seat device is designed as an aircraft seat device. In principle, it would also be conceivable that the transport seat device is designed as a device for another motor vehicle, such as for example for a bus, a train, or another, the expert appears reasonable

Mode of Transport. In this case, the transport seat device would one or more

Transport seats, such as bus seats exhibit. The aircraft seat device is part of an aircraft seat 10a. The aircraft seat 10 a is part of a

Aircraft seat row 12a formed. In principle, however, it would also be conceivable that the aircraft seat 10a is designed as a single seat. The aircraft seat row 12a comprises two further aircraft seats 14a, 16a, which are each arranged on one side of the aircraft seat 10a. The aircraft seats 10a, 14a, 16a have an erector unit 120a. By means of the erector unit 120a, the aircraft seats 10a, 14a, 16a are raised on a cabin floor. The aircraft seats 10a, 14a, 16a are in the

Essentially formed identical to each other, which is why in the following only one aircraft seat 10a is described in detail. A description of the aircraft seat 10a can be used to explain the other aircraft seats 14a, 16a. The aircraft seat 10a has a backrest unit 18a. The seatback unit 18a is provided to provide a seatback support surface on which a passenger seated on the aircraft seat 10a can rest with his back. The backrest unit 18a is arranged at a rear end of the aircraft seat 10a. The backrest unit 18a is arranged at a rear end of a seat bottom unit 88a. The backrest unit 18a has a load-bearing

Bowl 20a on. The supporting shell 20a comprises a thin-walled rear wall 22a. The - -

thin-walled rear wall 22a is formed of a fiber composite material. In this case, the rear wall 22a is formed by a molded CFK plate. In principle, it is also conceivable that the rear wall 22a is formed from another fiber composite material that appears appropriate to the person skilled in the art. The thin-walled rear wall 22a closes the backrest unit 18a towards the rear. The rear wall 22 a of

Backrest unit 18a is in this case the area behind the aircraft seat device, in which a further row of aircraft seats is preferably arranged. The supporting shell 20a of the backrest unit 18a comprises a thin-walled front wall 24a. The thin-walled front wall 24a is connected to the thin-walled rear wall 22a. The thin-walled front wall 24a is formed from a fiber composite material. The thin-walled front wall 24a is essentially formed of a same material as the thin-walled rear wall 22a. The thin-walled front wall 24a is disposed on a front side of the backrest unit 18a. Seen in a sitting direction, the thin-walled front wall 24a is arranged in front of the thin-walled rear wall 22a.

formed foam-like material. The trained as a foam core

Stiffening element is inserted as an insert during a manufacturing process between the thin-walled rear wall 22a and the thin-walled front wall 24a and glued before the thin-walled rear wall 22a and the thin-walled front wall 24a are firmly connected. Basically it is also conceivable that the

Backrest unit 18a is formed only by a front wall 24a and no

Stiffening element or a rear wall 22a has. The seat bottom unit 88a and the backrest unit 18a are provided to be pivotally connected to the upstand unit 120a. Due to the pivotable mounting of the seat bottom unit 88 a and the backrest unit 18 a, the

In principle, it would also be conceivable for the aircraft seat 10a to be pivotable through the pivotable mounting into further seating positions. For pivotable mounting of the seat bottom unit 88a and the backrest unit 18a, the transport seat device has a bearing module not shown in detail. The storage module is designed as a pivot bearing. The storage module forms a pivot axis over which the

Seat bottom unit 88a and the backrest unit 18a to the Aufständereinheit 120a are pivotable. The pivot axis forms a pivot point around which the

Seat bottom unit 88a and the backrest unit 18a are pivotable together. The pivot axis is arranged below the seat bottom unit 88a. The

Pivot axis of the bearing module is aligned coaxially with a transverse direction of the Aufständereinheit 120 a. A pivoting of the seat bottom unit 88 a and the

Backrest unit 18a takes place at a point below the seat bottom unit 88a. As a result, a particularly advantageous pivoting of the seat bottom unit 88a and the backrest unit 18a can be achieved. To lock the seat bottom unit 88a and the backrest unit 18a, the transport seat device has a locking module, not shown in more detail. The lock module is provided to seat the seat unit 88a and the

Backrest unit 18a to lock in a sitting position. The locking module fixes the seat bottom unit 88a and the backrest unit 18a in one position only. In this case, the locking module is provided in particular, the

Seat bottom unit 88a and the backrest unit 18a in the TTL position to lock. The locking module is intended to lock the aircraft seat 10a in the TTL position. The lock module does not lock the seat bottom unit 88a and the backrest unit 18a in the comfort position, in particular. The

Locking module is provided for a purely mechanical locking of the aircraft seat 10a.

The transport seat apparatus includes an armrest device 26a. The
