Abstract

An aircraft seat mounting device with at least one carrier profile, with at least one aircraft seat element and with at least one intermediate element, which at least substantially encompasses the at least one carrier profile and is coupled to the at least one aircraft seat element. The intermediate element is arranged rotatably with respect to the carrier profile at least in case of crash/deformation.

Claims (47)

1. An aircraft seat mounting device, comprising:

at least one carrier profile;

at least one aircraft seat element, which is embodied as a seat divider or a seat leg; and

at least one intermediate element, which at least substantially encompasses the at least one carrier profile and is coupled to the at least one aircraft seat element, wherein

the intermediate element encompasses the carrier profile at least by more than 270 degrees and is arranged rotatably with respect to the carrier profile at least in case of crash or deformation.

2. The aircraft seat mounting device according to claim 1 , comprising

at least one further aircraft seat element, which is coupled to the intermediate element.

3. The aircraft seat mounting device according to claim 1 , wherein

the intermediate element comprises at least one connection ram, via which the aircraft seat element is coupled to the intermediate element.

4. The aircraft seat mounting device according to claim 3 , wherein

the connection ram is coupled to the intermediate element via substance-to-substance bond.

5. The aircraft seat mounting device according to claim 4 , wherein

the connection ram has, in a connection region with the intermediate element, an extension in a circumferential direction which is less than 180 degrees.

6. The aircraft seat mounting device according to claim 3 , wherein

the connection ram has, in a connection region with the intermediate element, an extension in a circumferential direction which is less than 180 degrees.

7. The aircraft seat mounting device according to claim 1 , wherein

the at least one intermediate element is fixated with respect to the carrier profile at least in an axial direction.

8. The aircraft seat mounting device according to claim 1 , wherein

the intermediate element is arranged in a torque-proof fashion with respect to the carrier profile at least in one operating state.

9. The aircraft seat mounting device according to claim 1 , wherein

the intermediate element is fixedly connected to the carrier profile by means of an adhesive bond at least in one operating state.

10. The aircraft seat mounting device according to claim 1 , wherein

the carrier profile is at least substantially made of a light metal or of a fiber-composite material.

11. The aircraft seat mounting device at least according to claim 1 , comprising

at least one second intermediate element, wherein respectively only one aircraft seat element is coupled to one of the two intermediate elements.

12. The aircraft seat mounting device at least according to claim 1 , comprising

at least one further aircraft seat element, which is directly coupled to the carrier profile.

13. The aircraft seat mounting device according claim 2 , wherein

the aircraft seat element is embodied as a seat divider.

14. The aircraft seat mounting device according to claim 2 , wherein

the aircraft seat element is embodied as a seat leg.

15. The aircraft seat mounting device according to claim 2 , wherein

the intermediate element comprises at least one connection ram, via which the aircraft seat element is coupled to the intermediate element.

16. The aircraft seat mounting device according to claim 2 , wherein

the at least one intermediate element is fixated with respect to the carrier profile at least in an axial direction.

17. The aircraft seat mounting device according to claim 2 , wherein

the intermediate element is arranged in a torque-proof fashion with respect to the carrier profile at least in one operating state.

18. An aircraft seat comprising an aircraft seat mounting device, the aircraft seat mounting device comprising:

at least one carrier profile;

at least one aircraft seat element, which is embodied as a seat divider or a seat leg; and

at least one intermediate element, which at least substantially encompasses the at least one carrier profile and is coupled to the at least one aircraft seat element, wherein

the intermediate element encompasses the carrier profile at least by more than 270 degrees and is arranged rotatably with respect to the carrier profile at least in case of crash or deformation.

19. An aircraft seat mounting device, comprising:

at least one carrier profile;

at least one aircraft seat element, which is embodied as a seat divider or a seat leg; and

at least one intermediate element, which at least substantially encompasses the at least one carrier profile and is coupled to the at least one aircraft seat element, wherein

the intermediate element is arranged rotatably with respect to the carrier profile at least in case of crash or deformation, whereby torsional loads onto the carrier profile are prevented or minimized.
