Abstract:
A multiple seat set for use in a transport vehicle such as an aircraft is disclosed. The seat set increases seating room and comfort for passengers without increasing the footprint of the seat set. The seat set includes a staggered seating arrangement where seating surfaces of adjacent seats are disposed in alternating heights (e.g., vertical heights) while the seating surfaces and seat backs of such adjacent seats are disposed in alternating forward and back positions. The staggering of the seat surfaces and seat backs results in misalignment of shoulders and hips of passengers in adjacent seats.

Claim (Index 21):
A multiple seat set for use in an aircraft, comprising:\n a seat frame configured for attachment to a floor of an aircraft cabin; first and second elevated seats supported by said seat frame and each including elevated seat surfaces and seat backs, wherein said elevated seat surfaces of said first and second elevated seats are disposed in a substantially common horizontal reference plane and said seat backs of said first and second elevated seats are disposed in a substantially common vertical reference plane; and a first lowered seat supported by said seat frame and disposed between said first and second elevated seats and having a lowered seat surface and a seat back, said lower seat surface of said lower seat having a maximum width, said seat back of said lowered seat having a maximum width, and said maximum width of said seat back of said lowered seat being greater than said maximum width of said lower seat surface of said lower seat, wherein said lowered seat surface is disposed beneath said horizontal reference plane and said seat back of said first lowered seat is offset from said vertical reference plane.
