Abstract

A single-baseboard vehicle ( 10 ) that includes a first row ( 18 ) of seats ( 16 ), a second row ( 20 ) of seats ( 16 ), cables ( 36 ) extending between the lateral feet ( 28 ) of the seats ( 16 ), first baseboards ( 40 ), each first baseboard ( 40 ) extending between the lateral feet ( 28 ) of two of the seats ( 16 ) of each first row ( 18 ) and supporting the cables ( 36 ), and second baseboards ( 42 ), each second baseboard ( 42 ) extending between the lateral feet ( 28 ) of two of the seats ( 16 ) of each second row ( 20 ) and supporting the cables ( 36 ). The first baseboards ( 40 ) and the second baseboards ( 42 ) have identical lengths (L), each first baseboard ( 40 ) and/or each second baseboard ( 42 ) comprises, on at least one end ( 44 ), a portion covered ( 46 ) by one of the lateral feet ( 28 ) between which the first baseboard ( 40 ) and/or the second baseboard ( 42 ) is arranged.

Claims (17)

1 . A vehicle comprising:

at least one first row of seats successively aligned along a first wall of the vehicle, the seats of each first row being separated from each other by a first constant separation distance,

at least one second row of seats successively aligned along a second wall of the vehicle, the seats of each second row being separated from each other by a second constant separation distance, the second separation distance being strictly less than the first separation distance,

each seat of each first row and each second row having a respective lateral foot,

cables extending between the lateral feet of the successive seats of the first row and of the second row,

first baseboards, each first baseboard extending between the lateral feet of two of the seats of each first row and covering and supporting the cables, and

second baseboards, each second baseboard extending between the lateral feet of two of the seats of each second row and covering and supporting the cables,

wherein the first baseboards and the second baseboards have identical lengths, measured along a direction of extent of the first row and of the second row, respectively, each first baseboard and/or each second baseboard comprises, on at least one end, a portion covered by one of the lateral feet of the seats between which the first baseboard and/or the second baseboard is arranged.

2 . The vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the cables, the first baseboards and the second baseboards extend along the first wall and the second wall, respectively, each covered portion preferentially extending between the first wall, the second wall, respectively, and the lateral foot.

3 . The vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein each first baseboard and each second baseboard extends in a plane substantially parallel to main directions of elongation of the lateral feet.

4 . The vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein each lateral foot comprises a support part of a seat pan of the seat and a cover covering at least partially the support part, each covered portion of the baseboards being covered by the cover of a lateral foot and extending away from the support part of said lateral foot.

5 . The vehicle according to claim 4 , wherein each lateral foot comprises, for each covered portion, a seal extending between the cover and the covered portion.

6 . The vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the lateral feet of the seats of the first row and the lateral feet of the seats of the second row are identical to each other.

7 . The vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein each covered portion of each first baseboard has a length strictly shorter than 5% of the length of the first baseboard and each covered portion of each second baseboard has a length strictly longer than 5% of the length of the second baseboard.

8 . The vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein each baseboard has a length comprised between 500 mm and 800 mm, preferentially between 600 mm and 650 mm.

9 . The vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein each first baseboard and each second baseboard has an upper edge extending between the first wall, the second wall, respectively, and a facing member of the wall.
