Abstract:
1. A passenger seat, comprising: a seat carrier, which is adapted to be mounted on a cabin floor; a seat component with a seat bottom connected to said seat carrier by a joint assembly such that said seat bottom is pivotable about a first pivot axis relative to said seat carrier for movement between selected positions thereof; and an occupant fastening mechanism coupled to said seat bottom to lock said seat bottom in the selected positions and to release said seat bottom for movement between the selected positions, said fastening mechanism including at least two hydraulic locking elements wherein said seat bottom is pivotable about a second pivot axis relative to said seat carrier, and said first axis is perpendicular relative to said second pivot axis; said first pivot axis extends in a longitudinal direction of the seat; and said second pivot axis extends in a transverse direction of the seat; said seat carrier comprises a main extension direction that is horizontal and in said transverse direction; said hydraulic locking elements extend between said seat bottom and said seat carrier, and lengths of said hydraulic locking elements determine tilting of said seat bottom about said second pivot axis and unequal relative lengths of said hydraulic locking elements determine tilting of said seat bottom about said first pivot axis; and said hydraulic locking elements are mounted on a front end of said seat carrier, extend parallel to said front end, and are inclined with respect to each other.
