Arrangement of seats for an aircraft cabin
View Patent ↗An arrangement of individual seats for passengers in an aircraft, comprising a plurality of seats which can be converted into beds and disposed in rows, and comprising two lateral groups ( 3 a; 13 a ) of two contiguous rows, each group being disposed along a wall ( 4 ) of the aircraft fuselage, and at least one central group ( 3 b; 13 b ) of two contiguous rows, the said central group being separated from each of the lateral groups by a gangway. Each lateral group comprising, between two consecutive groups in a first row, and a pitch (P1) able to allow transverse passage for the passengers in the other row. The at least one central group comprising, between two adjacent seats in the same row, and a pitch (P2) less than the pitch provided in the lateral groups.
1. An arrangement of individual seats for passengers in an aircraft, comprising a plurality of seats which can be converted into beds and disposed in rows, each row extending in the longitudinal direction of the aircraft, and each seat being oriented towards the front of the aircraft, characterized in that it comprises:
first and second lateral groups of two contiguous rows, each group being disposed along a wall of the aircraft fuselage, the seats in one row of said first lateral group being offset longitudinally with respect to the seats in the other row of said first lateral group, and the seats in one row of said second lateral group being offset longitudinally with respect to the seats in the other row of said second lateral group, and
a first central group of two contiguous rows, the seats in one row of said first central group being offset longitudinally with respect to the seats in the other row of said first central group, said first central group being separated from said first and second lateral groups by first and second gangways;
each row of said first and second lateral groups defining, between two consecutive seats in each row, a first longitudinal pitch able to allow transverse passage for the passengers to one of said first and second gangways, and each row of said first central group defining, between two consecutive seats in each row, a second longitudinal pitch smaller than the first longitudinal pitch provided in the first and second lateral groups, and
each seat is provided with a fixed separation shell substantially in an S shape, said shell comprising a first transverse wall extending behind said seat, a second transverse wall extending in front of an adjacent seat in a contiguous row, and a longitudinal wall extending between the two transverse walls.
2. An arrangement according to claim 1 , characterized in that it comprises a second central group, separated from said first central group by a third gangway.
3. An arrangement according to claim 1 , characterized in that the seats are arranged so that, in the bed position, a leg rest of each seat is disposed under the fixed shell of an adjacent seat in the longitudinal direction.
4. An arrangement according to claim 1 , characterized in that, on the rows disposed along the wall of the aircraft fuselage, a space is provided between two consecutive seats.
5. An arrangement of individual seats for passengers in an aircraft, comprising of:
first and second lateral groups of two contiguous rows, each row in the first and second lateral groups including a plurality of seats, and each row of the first and second lateral groups defining between two consecutive seats in each row a first longitudinal pitch;
a central group of two contiguous rows, each row in the central group including a plurality of seats, and each row of the central group defining between two consecutive seats in each row a second longitudinal pitch smaller than the first longitudinal pitch;
a first gangway defined between the first lateral group and the central group; and
a second gangway defined between the second lateral group and the central group, whereby the first and second longitudinal pitches provide access to the first and second gangways, respectively,
each seat is provided with a fixed separation shell substantially in an S shape, said shell comprising a first transverse wall extending behind said seat, a second transverse wall extending in front of an adjacent seat in a contiguous row, and a longitudinal wall extending between the two transverse walls.
6. An arrangement according to claim 5 , wherein
the seats in one row of the first lateral group are offset longitudinally with respect to the seats in the other row of the first lateral group; and
the seats in one row of the second lateral group are offset longitudinally with respect to the seats in the other row of the second lateral group.
7. An arrangement according to claim 5 , wherein the seats in one row of the central group are offset longitudinally with respect to the seats in the other row of central group.
