Abstract

The invention relates to a seat fixing system, in particular for passenger seats, such as vehicle or aircraft passenger seats, having a seat part cushion in which or on which at least one linear fixing element is guided, having at least one cover part (14) for the seat part cushion which can be respectively assigned, wherein the cover part (14) has at least one hose-like fixing strap (32) in which at least one further linear fixing element (38) is guided, and having at least one connection element (22) for establishing a connection between the linear fixing elements (18, 38) for the purpose of securing the respective cover part (14) to the seat part cushion which can be respectively assigned, wherein the hose-like fixing strap (32) has a predefinable elasticity in a transverse or inclined direction with respect to the linear fixing elements (18, 38), wherein irregularities in the course of the seam are compensated for.

Claims

1. A seat fixing system, in particular for passenger seats (10) such as vehicle or aircraft passenger seats, having a seat part cushion (12) in which or on which at least one linear fixing element is guided, with at least one cover part (14) for the respectively assignable seat part cushion (12), the cover part (14) having at least one hose-like fixing strap (32) in which at least one other linear fixing element (38) is guided, and having at least one connecting element (22) for producing a connection between the linear fixing elements (18, 38) for purposes of fixing the respective cover part (14) on the respectively assignable seat part cushion (12), characterized in that the hose-like fixing strap (32) in the transverse or oblique direction to the linear fixing elements (18, 38) has a definable elasticity.

2. The seat fixing system according to claim 1, wherein the hose-like fixing strap (32) is formed from a fabric (48) which has elastic equalization elements in the indicated transverse or oblique direction (44).

3. The seat fixing system according to claim 2, wherein the equalization elements are formed from elastomer threads, in particular rubber threads.

4. The seat fixing system according to claim 3, wherein the respective elastomer thread as a core is surrounded by a plastic jacket, preferably in the form of a polyester protective jacket.

5. The seat fixing system according to claim 2, wherein the fabric (48) consists of a linen weave, with weft threads (54) which are formed from the elastic equalization elements.

6. The seat fixing system according to claim 5, wherein the warp threads (56) of the fabric (48) are formed from multifilament threads, preferably consist of polyester material.

7. The seat fixing system according to claim 1, wherein the respective linear fixing element (18, 38) is formed from a wire body and the respective connecting element (22) consists of C-shaped or U-shaped cramps (24) whose two opposite free ends (28, 30) overlap the wire bodies (18, 38) for producing the connection.

8. The seat fixing system according to claim 7, wherein the hose-like fixing strap (32) can be sewn to the cushion cover part (14) along the anchoring seams.

9. A hose-like fixing strap consisting of a fabric (48) with warp threads (56) and weft threads (54), characterized in that one type of threads (54) consists at least partially of elastic equalization elements.

10. The hose-like fixing strap according to claim 9, wherein the weft threads (54) at least partially have or contain elastic equalization elements, in particular in the form of elastomer threads which are surrounded by a plastic protective jacket.
