Aircraft seat device

State of the art

The invention relates to an aircraft seat device according to the preamble of

Patent claim 1.

There has already been proposed an aircraft seat device having at least two adjacently arranged aircraft seats and at least one armrest arranged between the two aircraft seats, the armrest being movable between a stowage position and a use position. The object of the invention is in particular to provide a generic device with improved passenger comfort features. The object is achieved by the features of claim 1, while advantageous embodiments and refinements of the invention

Subclaims can be removed. Advantages of the invention

The invention is based on an aircraft seat device with at least two

juxtaposed aircraft seats and at least one arranged between the two aircraft seats armrest, wherein the armrest between a

Stowage and a use position is movable. It is proposed that the aircraft seat device at least one on a

Has underside of the armrest arranged separating element, which forms a support and / or privacy element at least in a stowed position of the armrest, the seating areas of the two aircraft seats separated from each other. An "aircraft seat" is to be understood in particular as a seat which is intended to be raised in an aircraft cabin of an aircraft on a cabin floor, and on which a passenger can sit during a flight. In this case, the aircraft seat has at least one seat bottom and a seat back coupled to the backrest, wherein the backrest is preferably pivotally connected to the seat bottom, whereby the aircraft seat is preferably movable into different functional positions. The aircraft seat further has at least one, preferably two

Armrests, which are at least intended to provide an armrest space for a passenger. An "armrest" should be understood to mean, in particular, an element of the aircraft seat which, in particular, provides a support surface for an arm of a passenger, laterally of the backrest

Use position movable. In the stowed position, the armrest is preferably arranged as space-saving as possible on the aircraft seat and can not be used by a passenger to store his arm. In the staging is the

Armrest preferably aligned substantially parallel to the backrest. It is conceivable that the armrest has an angle of -10 to +10 degrees to the backrest. In its position of use, the armrest is aligned substantially parallel to the seat bottom, wherein the armrest can have an angle of 0 to 10 degrees to the seat bottom. The armrest is thereby moved from its position of use in particular upwards in its stowed position, in which case preferably a front end of the armrest is pivotable upwards. By "at least two juxtaposed aircraft seats" should be understood in particular two immediately adjacent aircraft seats, which are part of a row of seats, the two adjacent aircraft seats preferably only by a

Seat divider and / or armrest are separated in a transverse direction. The two juxtaposed aircraft seats are in particular not separated from each other by a cabin flight. The juxtaposed

Aircraft seats preferably share an armrest arranged between the two aircraft seats, which is intended for use by passengers of both aircraft seats. A "separating element" should be understood to mean, in particular, an element which, at least in one position, projects into an area between two immediately adjacent aircraft seats, around seating areas of the two

At least partially separate aircraft seats from one another. A "support element" is to be understood here as meaning, in particular, an element which is provided so that a passenger can partially support himself at least with one body part. in particular, the seating areas of two adjacently arranged aircraft seats increase a perceived privacy of the passengers seated on the aircraft seats. The term "provided" is to be understood to mean in particular specially designed and / or equipped.Assuming that an object is intended for a specific function should in particular mean that the object fulfills this specific function in at least one application and / or operating state and / or executes.

As a result, an aircraft seat device can advantageously be provided in which two adjacently arranged aircraft seats form particularly advantageous support options for passengers seated on the two aircraft seats, and the aircraft seats are thereby designed to be particularly comfortable. It is further proposed that the separating element at least substantially forms a wedge shape. As a result, the separating element can be designed to be particularly ergonomic.

It is also proposed that the separating element has a width which is smaller, at least in a partial region, by at least 20% than a width of the armrest on its upper side. The term "at least 20% smaller" should be understood to mean, in particular, at least 20% smaller, preferably at least 35% smaller and in a particularly preferred embodiment at least 50% smaller. is smaller, it should be understood in particular that a width of the separating element, in particular in a

Connection area to the armrest, may be substantially equal to the width of the armrest, and a width of the separating element, in particular in a region remote from the armrest is smaller than the width of the armrest. Thereby, the separating element can be formed particularly advantageous.

Furthermore, it is proposed that the separating element has a height which extends in the position of use of the armrest substantially from a bottom of the armrest to at least 10 cm in front of the seat bottom. By "extending to at least 10 cm in front of the seat bottom" should be understood in particular that a distance between the separating element in a position of use of the armrest is a maximum of 10 cm, preferably a maximum of 5 cm and in a particular preferred embodiment less than 1 cm. As a result, in a position of use of the armrest by the separating element, a particularly advantageous lateral support for a person on the

Airplane seat sitting passenger to be provided.

It is further proposed that the separating element at least one

Storage unit having at least one storage space is formed. A "storage unit" is to be understood in particular as meaning a unit which forms a storage space in which a passenger can stow utensils, wherein the storage space can be arranged at least partially in an interior of the separating element or also on a side surface of the storage compartment

Separator. Basically, it is also conceivable that a

Storage space of the storage unit at least partially extends into an interior of the armrest and / or is arranged on an outer side surface of the armrest. This makes it particularly easy to provide a storage space for the passenger, in which he can accommodate utensils during a flight.

Furthermore, it is proposed that in a stowed position of the armrest, the at least one separating element is movable into a lowered position. Under a "sinking position of the separating element" in particular a position of the

Separating element to be understood in which it does not protrude in the stowed position of the armrest on a backrest surface of the backrest. In the retracted position, the separating element is arranged completely behind a plane which is formed by front edges of the backrests of the adjacently arranged aircraft seats. As a result, the separating element can advantageously be stowed completely in an area behind a backrest surface in order thus to generate a double aircraft seat or to facilitate access to the second aircraft seat.

It is also proposed that the separating element is intended for

Achievement of his sinking position laterally at least partially brought into line with the armrest. The term "laterally at least partially coinciding with the armrest" is to be understood in particular as meaning that in a side view, ie orthogonal to a seating direction of the aircraft seats, the separating element is formed overlapping the armrest and, in particular, does not have a seat Outline of the armrest. In this case, the separating element to achieve the

Cover preferably at least substantially adjacent and / or arranged in the armrest. As a result, the sinking position can be produced particularly easily.

It is further proposed that the separating element has at least two telescopically adjustable elements. As a result, the separating element can be adjusted particularly easily.

In addition, it is proposed that the separating element has at least two mutually pivotable elements. The mutually pivotable elements may be formed, for example, as fan elements. Thereby, the separating element can be formed particularly advantageous.

It is further proposed that the armrest has at least one adjusting mechanism by means of which the separating element is adjustable between the lowered position and the use position. As a result, an adjustment of the separating element to the armrest can be done easily. It is also proposed that the adjustment mechanism is designed as a scissors mechanism. As a result, the adjusting mechanism can be made particularly simple.

It is further proposed that the separating element is rigidly connected to the armrest, wherein the armrest is pivotable about a second axis of rotation orthogonal to a pivot axis for adjusting the armrest between the

Stowage and the use position is. Thereby, the armrest can be advantageously rotated together with the separating element in a stowed position, whereby the separating element is brought into its lowered position.

Furthermore, it is proposed that the separating element is formed separable from the armrest. The term "separable" should be understood to mean, in particular, non-destructive separation, so that the separating element can in particular be repeatedly fixedly mounted on the armrest and disassembled again from the armrest. The aircraft seat device according to the invention is not intended to be the above

described application and embodiment be limited. In particular, in order to fulfill a mode of operation described herein, the aircraft seat device according to the invention may have a number deviating from a number of individual elements, components and units mentioned herein.

Description of the embodiments

Figures 1 to 4 show an aircraft seat device in a first

Embodiment. The aircraft seat device is part of an aircraft seat row 10a. The aircraft seat row 10a comprises three aircraft seats 12a, 14a, 16a. In principle, it would also be conceivable that the aircraft seat row 10a comprises a different number of aircraft seats 12a, 14a, 16a. In principle, it is also conceivable that a seat row is formed only from a single aircraft seat 14a. The aircraft seat 12a, 14a, 16a of the aircraft seat rows Oa are arranged directly next to one another. The first aircraft seat 12a is arranged on a right side of the aircraft seat row 10a. The third

Aircraft seat 16a is disposed on a left side of the aircraft seat row 10a. The second aircraft seat 14a is arranged between the two other aircraft seats 12a, 16a. The second aircraft seat 14a directly adjoins the first aircraft seat 12a on one side and directly on the third aircraft seat 16a on an opposite side. The aircraft seat row 10a has an erector unit 18a. By means of the Aufständereinheit 18 a are the aircraft seats 12 a, 14 a, 16 a of

Airplane seat row 10a together in an aircraft cabin aufständerbar. About the Aufständereinheit 18 a is the aircraft seat row 10 a by means of guide rails on a Cabin floor of the aircraft cabin fastened. The aircraft seats 12a, 14a, 16a are formed substantially the same. Therefore, only the middle aircraft seat 14a will be described in more detail below. A description of the center aircraft seat 14a may be used to illustrate the other aircraft seats 12a, 16a. The aircraft seat 14a has a seat bottom 20a. The seat bottom 20a is over the

Aufständereinheit 18 a connected. The seat bottom 20a is rigidly connected to the upstand unit 18a. In principle, however, it is also conceivable that the seat bottom 20a is adjustable between a sitting position and a comfort position relative to the Aufständereinheit 18a. The seat bottom 20a forms a seat surface for a passenger seated on the aircraft seat 14a. The aircraft seat 14a comprises a backrest 22a. The backrest 22a is disposed at a rear end of the seat bottom 20a. The backrest 22a is coupled to the upstand unit 18a. The backrest 22a is pivotable between a substantially upright sitting position and an inclined comfort position to the Aufständereinheit 18a. In principle, it is also conceivable that the backrest 22a is rigidly coupled to the Aufständereinheit 18a and / or at least partially formed integrally with the seat bottom 20a. The aircraft seat row 10a has a seat divider 24a, which is located between the middle

Aircraft seat 14a and the right aircraft seat 12a is arranged. The

Aircraft seat row 10a has a further seat divider 26a which is arranged between the central aircraft seat 14a and the left aircraft seat 16a. The seat dividers 24a, 26a are each firmly connected to the Aufständereinheit 18a, in particular with not shown cross members of the Aufständereinheit 18a. In principle, it is also conceivable for the seat bottom 20a and / or the backrest 22a to be connected to the erector unit 18a via the seat dividers 24a, 26a. The seat dividers 24a, 26a are arranged in a respective region between the central aircraft seat 14a and the respective outer aircraft seat 12a, 16a.

The aircraft seat apparatus includes a first armrest 28a. The first armrest 28a is disposed between the middle aircraft seat 14a and the adjacent one

Plane seat 12a arranged. The armrest 28a is intended to be used by a passenger seated on the center aircraft seat 14a and a passenger seated on the adjoining right aircraft seat 12a. The aircraft seat apparatus includes a second armrest 30a. The second armrest 30a is disposed between the center aircraft seat 14a and the adjacent left aircraft seat 16a. The armrest 30a is intended to be used by a passenger seated on the center aircraft seat 14a and a passenger seated on the adjacent right aircraft seat 12a. The aircraft seat device has two further armrests 32a, 34a, which are respectively arranged on an outer side of the aircraft seats 12a, 16a and terminate the row of aircraft seats 10a towards the outside. The armrests 28a, 30a, 32a, 34a each have a stowage position and a use position. The armrests 28a, 30a, 32a, 34a are each pivotable between their stowage position and their position of use. For this purpose, the armrests 28a, 30a, 32a, 34a are rotatably supported in each case via pivot bearings 36a (not illustrated in more detail) to the erection unit 18a. The armrests 28a, 30a, 32a, 34a are in particular rotatably mounted on the corresponding seat divider 24a, 26a. In principle, it would also be conceivable that the armrests 28a, 30a, 32a, 34a are connected directly to the backrest 22a of the corresponding aircraft seat 12a. It is conceivable that the armrests 28a, 30a, 32a, 34a are connected in particular to a supporting structure of the corresponding backrest 22a. The supporting structure of the backrest 22a, to which the armrests 28a, 30a, 32a, 34a are directly connected, can be formed by way of example of a fiber composite material.

The aircraft seat device has a first separating element 38 a, which on a

Bottom of the armrest 28a is arranged. The aircraft seat apparatus has another partition member 40a disposed on a lower side of the armrest 30a. The two outer armrests 32a, 34a are shown here without separating elements in the figures and as normal, known from the prior art armrests

educated. In principle, it is also conceivable that the outer armrests 32a, 34a also have a separating element 38a, 40a and corresponding to the middle

Armrests 28a, 30a are formed. The armrests 28a, 30a and the to the

corresponding armrest 28a, 30a connected separating elements 38a, 40a are formed substantially the same. Therefore, only the armrest 28a will be described in more detail below with the separating element 38a connected to the armrest 28a. An explanation of the armrest 30a and the corresponding partition member 40a can be found in the description of the armrest 28a and the partition member 38a. The separating element 38a arranged on the underside of the armrest 28a is intended to form a support element. The separating element 38a designed as a support element is provided so that a passenger seated on the middle aircraft seat 14a can at least laterally support himself at least with a part of his body. The separating element 38a designed as a supporting element is provided so that a passenger seated on the lateral aircraft seat 12a can at least laterally support himself at least with a part of his body. In this case, two passengers seated next to one another on the adjacently arranged aircraft seats 12a, 14a can simultaneously be formed on the support element

Support partition 38a. The separating element 38a has side surfaces 42a, 44a, which respectively face one of the aircraft seats 12a, 14a, between which the separating element 38a is arranged. The side surfaces 42a, 44a thereby form support surfaces on which the corresponding passenger seated on one of the aircraft seats 12a, 14a can rest. The separating element 38a is intended to be a

To form a privacy element. The trained as a privacy element

Divider 38a is intended to more clearly separate seat areas of the two juxtaposed aircraft seats 12a, 14a from each other. The privacy element designed as a separating element 38a is at least provided to provide a partial privacy between the seating areas of the adjacent aircraft seats 12a, 14a. The separating element 38a designed as a privacy element is intended to separate the seating regions of the adjacent aircraft seats 12a, 14a from one another in such a way that contact with shoulders of two passengers sitting on the adjacent aircraft seats 12a, 14a is prevented. That as

Privacy element formed separating element 38a is provided to increase the privacy of both aircraft seats 12a, 14a, the seating areas of the two

To separate aircraft seats 12a, 14a in an area below the armrest 28a from each other and so in particular to prevent accidental contact of the passengers in an area below the armrest 28a.

The separating element 38a essentially forms a wedge shape. At an upper end where the divider 38a is coupled to the underside of the armrest 28a, the divider 38a has a width corresponding to a width of the armrest 28a at a lower end. A transition between the armrest 28a and the arranged at the bottom of the armrest 28a separator 38a is flat. At one lower, the armrest 28a facing away from the end of the separating element 38a has the

Separator 38a has a width which is smaller than the width of the armrest 28a at an upper end. At this time, the width of the partition member 38a at the lower end thereof is smaller by 50% than at the upper end of the armrest 28a. The armrest 28a forms at its upper end an armrest surface for the passengers of the aircraft seats 12a, 14a. As can be seen in FIG. 5, a profile of the side faces 42a, 44a of the separating element 38a can be formed differently from an upper, wide end to the lower, narrow end. Thus, the side surfaces 42a, 44a of the

Separator 38a as shown to be concave. In principle, it is also conceivable that the side surfaces 42a, 44a, as indicated by dashed lines in Figure 5, may also be convex. Basically it is also conceivable that the

Side surfaces 42 a, 44 a between the upper broad end and the lower narrow end have a straight course. In principle, it is conceivable for aircraft seats, in particular for aircraft seats which are designed as individual seats, that the separating elements have a cuboidal contour, wherein the side surfaces run parallel to one another. These separators would have no downwardly tapering course.

The separating element 38a has a height which, in the position of use of the armrest 28a, extends from the underside of the armrest 28a in the direction of the seat bottom 20a of the aircraft seat 10a. In this case, the height of the partition member 38a extends in the position of use of the armrest 28a from the bottom of the armrest 28a to 5 cm in front of the seat bottom 20a. Basically it is also conceivable that the height of the

Separator 38a extends in the position of use of the armrest 28a from the bottom of the armrest 28a to the seat bottom 20a of the aircraft seat 14a. A height of the partition member 38a corresponds in the position of use of the armrest 28a almost a distance from the bottom of the armrest 28a to the seat bottom 20a. As a result, the separating element 38a in the position of use of the armrest 28a forms an advantageously large supporting area below the armrest 28a. Passengers on the

Aircraft seats 12a, 14a can, in the position of use of the armrest 28a, rest against and support the armrest 28a and the partition element 38a, with a lower lateral back region, a thigh region, and / or a lateral hip and buttock region. Forces laterally on the separator 38a and / or the Armrest 28a are derived via the armrest 28a and the seat divider 24a in the Aufständereinheit 18a of the aircraft seat row 10a.

In the stowed position of the armrest 28a, the separating element 38a projects out of the area between the aircraft seats 12a, 14a. In this case, the separating element 38a in the stowed position of the armrest 28a in the sitting direction in front of a backrest surface of the

Backrest 22a arranged. The separating element 38a extends in height approximately from a shoulder region into a pelvic region of the passenger. The separating element 38a extends in height in a central region of the

Backrest 22a. In the stowed position of the armrest 28a, passengers seated on the aircraft seats 12a, 14a can be supported laterally on the partition element 38a. Particularly with a shoulder region, passengers can rest on the separating element 38a (see FIG. 2).

The two armrests 28a, 30a laterally delimiting the aircraft seat 14a are independently adjustable in their stowage positions or positions of use. As a result, for example, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, one armrest 28a may be arranged in its stowed position and the other armrest 30a in its position of use. As a result, the one is arranged on the armrest 28a

Separator 38a disposed at a shoulder level between the aircraft seats 12a, 14a, while arranged on the armrest 30a separator 40a is disposed below the arm 30a between the arm 30a and the seat bottom 20a in a lower back region. As a result, a particularly comfortable support for a passenger seated on the middle aircraft seat 14a can be provided, in which he is supported with his right shoulder area on the separating element 38a and with a left lower back region on the separating element 40a and the armrest 30a.

The aircraft seat apparatus includes a comfort member 46a. The comfort element 46a comprises a padding and a protective cover. The upholstery is included

for example, formed from a foam. The comfort element 46a spans the side surfaces 42a, 44a of the separating element 38a. The comfort element 46a also spans side surfaces 48a, 50a of the armrest 28a. As a result, a particularly advantageously comfortable side support surface for passengers of adjacently arranged aircraft seats 12a, 14a can be provided. In the figures 6 to 13 eight further embodiments of the invention are shown. The following descriptions and the drawings are essentially limited to the differences between the embodiments, with respect to the same components, in particular with respect to components with the same reference numerals, in principle also to the drawings and / or the description of the other

Embodiments, in particular of Figs. 1 to 5, can be referenced. To distinguish the embodiments of the letter a is the reference numerals of the embodiment in Fig. 1 to 5 adjusted. In the exemplary embodiments of FIGS. 6 to 13, the letter a is replaced by the letters b to i. Figure 6 shows a second embodiment of an inventive

Aircraft seat device. The aircraft seat device is part of an aircraft seat row, not shown here. The aircraft seat row includes, as in the first embodiment, a plurality of juxtaposed aircraft seats arranged between the aircraft seats armrests 28b. The aircraft seat apparatus has a partition member 38b disposed on a lower side of the armrest 28b. In contrast to the first embodiment, the armrest 28b and the

Separator 38b designed differently. In FIG. 6, therefore, only the armrest 28b and the separating element 38b are shown.

The partition 38b has a storage unit 52b. The

Storage unit 52b has a storage space 54b on each side surface 42b, 44b of the separating element 38b. In the figure 6 is only one

Storage space 54b shown. The storage space 54b is of a

Pocket member 56b formed, which is firmly connected to the side surface 44b of the partition member 38b. The pocket element 56b is formed by an elastically extensible material. It is also conceivable that the pocket element 56b of a

Network element is formed. Utensils can be stored in the storage space 54b, which is spanned by the pocket member 56b and the divider 38b. Utensils can between the bag member 56b and the

Separator 38b are clamped. In principle, it is also conceivable that the storage unit 52b is arranged at least partially in the area of the armrest 38b. The aircraft seat apparatus includes a fastener 98b. The fastener 98b is attached to the armrest 28b and the separator 38b. The

Fastener 98b is provided so that a passenger can tie a personal item to the armrest 28b and the partition member 38b. The fastener 98b is in a front portion of the armrest 28b and the

Separator 38b arranged. Basically it is also conceivable that the

Aircraft seat device a plurality and / or arranged at another location

Attachment 98b has. The trained as an elastic band

Fastening means 98b wraps around the armrest 28b and the partition member 38b in the circumferential direction. The fastener 98b is formed as an elastic band. The fastening means 98b is designed to be elastically extensible.

To attach a personal item, such as a pillow or garment, to the armrest 28b and the divider 38b, a passenger can elastically elongate the fastener 98b by pulling on the fastener 98b, thereby interposing between the armrest 28b, divider 38b, and fastener 98b Space is created in which the passenger can introduce the object. After the passenger has withdrawn the force on the fastener 98b, the fastener 98b pulls by its internal tension, which by the elastic

Pulling together, again in the direction of its rest position on the armrest 28b and the partition member 38b together, whereby the object between the fastening means 98b, armrest 28b and the separating element 38b is clamped.

The aircraft seat device has an operating module 100b. The control module 100b includes a plurality of controls provided for controlling the aircraft seat or other peripheral devices, such as a display screen. The

Operating module 100b is arranged on side surfaces 42b, 48b of the armrest 28b and of the separating element 38b. Due to the increased area provided by the side surfaces 42b, 48b of the armrest 28b and the separating element 38b, an operating module 100b may preferably have many and / or larger operating elements than in the prior art.

Figure 7 shows a third embodiment of an inventive

Aircraft seat device. The aircraft seat device is part of one not closer illustrated aircraft seat row. The aircraft seat row includes as in the first

Embodiment, a plurality of juxtaposed aircraft seats arranged between the aircraft seats armrests 28c. The aircraft seat apparatus has a partition member 38c disposed on a lower side of the armrest 28c. In contrast to the first embodiment, the armrest 28c and the

Separator 38c designed differently. In Figure 7, therefore, only the armrest 28c and the separating element 38c are shown.

The partition 38c is intended to be movable to a sinking position. In the retractable position, the partition 38c is intended not to protrude beyond a backrest surface of a seat back in the stowed position of the armrest 28c. The separating element 38c is brought laterally in a sinking position in coincidence with the armrest 28c. In the lowered position, the separating element 38c thereby does not protrude beyond the armrest 28c in a side view. The partition 38c is intended to be located in the lowered position within the armrest 28c. For this purpose, the armrest 28c has a recess in which the separating element 38c in the

Reverse position is arranged. The recess is attached to a lower end of the armrest 28c. For adjusting the separating element 38c, the armrest 28c has an adjusting mechanism 58c. The adjusting mechanism 58c supports the partition member 38c movably to the armrest 28c. The adjusting mechanism 58c is formed by a bearing element 60c. The bearing member 60c is rotatably connected to the armrest 28c and the partition member 38c. The bearing member 60c is formed as a bearing rod. The bearing member 60c is rotatably supported at a first end in a rear portion of the armrest 28c. The bearing member 60c is rotatably supported at a second end to a front portion of the partition member 38c. In a

Use position of the separating element 38c, the bearing element 60c is arranged obliquely to the armrest 28c and protrudes down from the recess in the armrest 28c out. As a result, the partition member 38c attached to the bearing member 60c protrudes from the armrest 28c at the bottom and is disposed in its use position. In the lowered position, the bearing element 60 c is pivoted into a position aligned substantially parallel to the armrest 28 c and completely in the

Recess arranged. Thereby, the partition member 38c, which is attached to a second end of the bearing member 60c, also in the recess of the armrest 28c arranged and stowed away. In the lowered position, the separating element 38c thereby does not protrude into an area in front of a backrest surface.

Figure 8 shows a fourth embodiment of an inventive

Aircraft seat device. The aircraft seat device is part of an aircraft seat row, not shown here. The aircraft seat row includes as in the first

Embodiment, a plurality of juxtaposed aircraft seats arranged between the aircraft seats armrests 28d. The aircraft seat apparatus has a partition member 38d disposed on an underside of the armrest 28d. In contrast to the first embodiment, the armrest 28d and the

Separator 38d designed differently. In FIG. 6, therefore, only the armrest 28d and the separating element 38d are shown.

The separator 38d is intended to be movable to a sinking position. In the retracted position, the divider 38d is intended not to protrude beyond a backrest surface of a seat back in the stowed position of the armrest 28d. In the retractable position, the separating element 38d on the underside of the armrest 28d is formed so small that the separating element 38d does not extend beyond a plane of the

Protrudes backrest surface. The armrest 28d is here formed in FIG. 8 as a thin plate compared to the other embodiments. In principle, it is also conceivable that the armrest 28d is formed by a thicker element. The separating element 38d is formed by five articulated elements 62d, 64d, 66d, 68d, 70d. The elements 62d, 64d, 66d, 68d, 70d are formed as plates. The two first elements 62d, 64d are spaced apart from each other with a first end hinged to the underside of the armrest 28d. The two second elements 66d, 68d are each hingedly connected at their first end to a second end of the first elements 62d, 64d. The second elements 66d, 68d are hinged together at their second ends. The fifth element 70d of the

Separator 38d is connected to the second ends of the second elements 66d, 68d. As a result, a foldable separating element 38d is formed. In a use position, the interconnected elements 62d, 64d, 66d, 68d, 70d substantially form a wedge shape, with the fifth element 70d forming a point. The four others

Elements 62d, 64d, 66d, 68d each form two side surfaces of the separating element 38d. About the hinged mounting of the elements 62d, 66d and the elements 64d, 68d to one another, the elements 62d, 64d, 66d, 68d for a sinking position can be folded into one another as shown in FIG. 8 by folding the second elements 66d, 68d inwardly into an area between the two first elements 62d, 64d. The fifth element 70d is arranged centrally between the two second elements 66d, 68d and does not protrude beyond the first elements 62d, 64d in the lowered position.

Figure 9 shows a fifth embodiment of an inventive

Embodiment, a plurality of juxtaposed aircraft seats arranged between the aircraft seats armrests 28e. The aircraft seat apparatus has a partition member 38e disposed on a lower side of the armrest 28e. In contrast to the first embodiment, the armrest 28e and the

Separator 38e designed differently. Therefore, only the armrest 28e and the separating element 38e are shown in FIG.

The separating element 38e is formed by two mutually pivotable elements 72e, 74e. The elements 72e, 74e are designed as fan elements.

In principle, it is also conceivable that the separating element 38e is formed by a different number of elements 72e, 74e. The embodiment with exactly two elements 72e, 74e is intended to be only an example here. The elements 72e, 74e are pivotally connected to the armrest 28e via a common axis of rotation 76e. The axis of rotation 76e is arranged at a first, rear end of the armrest 28e. The elements 72e, 74e are preferably U-shaped. In this case, the outer element 74e is preferably made smaller, so that the inner element 72e can enclose the outer element 74e. As a result, the elements 72e, 74e can be brought into coincidence with one another to achieve a sinking position. The armrest 28e has on its underside a recess in which the elements 72e, 74e in a

Reverse position are arranged. The aircraft seat device has a locking unit, not shown, which fixes the elements 72e, 74e in the lowered position and in a position of use relative to the armrest 28e.

Figure 10 shows a sixth embodiment of an inventive

Ausführungsbesipiel several, juxtaposed aircraft seats arranged between the aircraft seats armrests 28f. The aircraft seat apparatus has a partition member 38f disposed on a lower side of the armrest 28f. In contrast to the first embodiment, the armrest 28f and the

Separator 38f designed differently. In FIG. 10, therefore, only the armrest 28f and the separating element 38f are shown.

The partition 38f is intended to be movable to a sinking position. In the retractable position, the divider 38f is intended not to protrude beyond a backrest surface of a seat back in the stowed position of the armrest 28f. The separating element 38f is brought laterally in a sinking position into coincidence with the armrest 28f. In the lowered position, the separating element 38f thus does not protrude beyond the armrest 28f in a side view. The partition 38f is intended to be located in the lowered position within the armrest 28f. For this purpose, the armrest 28f has a recess in which the separating element 38f in the

Reverse position is arranged. The recess is attached to a lower end of the armrest 28f. For adjusting the separating element 38f, the armrest 28f has an adjusting mechanism 58f. The adjustment mechanism 58f supports this

Separator 38f movable to the armrest 28f. The adjusting mechanism 58f is formed as a scissors mechanism. The adjustment mechanism 58f has two

Bearing elements 78f, 80f, which are pivotally connected at a first end to the armrest 28f. The bearing elements 78f, 80f are formed as rods. With a second end, the bearing elements 78f, 80f are rotatable and each along one

Linear bearing 82f, 84f slidably coupled to the separator 38f. Figure 1 1 shows a seventh embodiment of an inventive

Ausführungsbesipiel several, juxtaposed aircraft seats arranged between the aircraft seats armrests 28g. The aircraft seat apparatus has a partition member 38g disposed on an underside of the armrest 28g. In contrast to the first embodiment, the armrest 28g and the Separator 38g designed differently. In FIG. 11, therefore, only the armrest 28g and the separating element 38g are shown.

The partition 38g is rigidly connected to the armrest 28g. The partition 38g is integrally formed with the armrest 28g. The armrest 28g has a bearing block 86g. Via the bearing block 86g, the armrest 28g is pivotable between its position of use and its stowed position. The bearing block 86g forms a first axis of rotation 88g, which is formed transversely to a seating direction. The bearing block 86g has a second axis of rotation 90g. The second axis of rotation 90g is orthogonal on the axis of rotation 88g for adjusting the armrest 28g between the stowed position and the

Use position. About the second axis of rotation 90g, the partition member 38g and the armrest 28g, which are integrally formed with each other, pivotally to the bearing block 86g. By means of the two axes of rotation 88g, 90g, the armrest 28g and the separating element 38g can first be brought into a stowed position of the armrest 28g by means of the first axis of rotation 88g. About the second axis of rotation 90 g can

Separator 38g and the armrest 28g are then pivoted into a lowered position.

Figure 12 shows an eighth embodiment of an inventive

Aircraft seat device. The aircraft seat device is part of an aircraft seat row, not shown here. The aircraft seat row includes, as in the first embodiment, a plurality of juxtaposed aircraft seats arranged between the aircraft seats armrests 28h. The aircraft seat apparatus has a partition member 38h disposed on an underside of the armrest 28h. In contrast to the first embodiment, the armrest 28h and the

Separator 38h designed differently. In FIG. 12, therefore, only the armrest 28h and the separating element 38h are shown. The partition 38h is separably formed by the armrest 28h. The separating element 38h forms a plurality of form-fitting elements 92h, 94h, via which the separating element 38h can be connected in a form-fitting manner with correspondingly formed positive-locking elements 96h of the armrest 28h. The separating element 38h can be disassembled non-destructively from the armrest 28h, in particular also by an aircraft crew. As a result, the partition member 38h can be easily mounted to the armrest 28h as needed. FIG. 13 shows a ninth embodiment of an aircraft seat device according to the invention. The aircraft seat device is part of an aircraft seat row, not shown here. The aircraft seat row includes as in the first

Embodiment, a plurality of juxtaposed aircraft seats arranged between the aircraft seats armrests 28i. The aircraft seat apparatus has a partition member 38i disposed on a lower side of the armrest 28i. In contrast to the first embodiment, the armrest 28i and the

Separator 38i designed differently. In FIG. 8, therefore, only the armrest 28i and the separating element 38i are shown. The armrest 28i forms a U-shaped main body. The armrest 28i in this case has a recess 102i in the transverse direction, between the side by side

arranged aircraft seats is arranged. The separating element 38i is formed by an element 72i, which can be pivoted to the armrest 28i. The pivotable element 72i is pivotally mounted at a front end of the armrest 28i via a rotation axis 76i. The axis of rotation 76i is disposed in a lower third of the armrest 28i. In a stowage position, the pivotable element 72i forming the separating element 38i is arranged in the recess 102i of the U-shaped main body of the armrest 28i. For adjustment to the position of use, the separating element 38i forming

pivotable element 72i pivoted by substantially 180 degrees, whereby the partition element 38i forming pivotable element 72i swings under the U-shaped main body of the armrest 28i out.
