Abstract

A passenger seat device, in particular an airplane passenger seat device, which comprises a support assembly of stretched fabric for holding a stretched fabric element, the support assembly of stretched fabric comprising a frame unit.

Claims

1. A passenger seat device, in particular an airplane passenger seat device, comprising a covering unit for retaining a covering part, said covering unit comprising a frame unit.

2. The passenger seat device as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a seat part unit, wherein the covering unit is a component of the seat part unit.

3. The passenger seat device as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a seat direction, wherein the frame unit comprises frame portions which are provided to cooperate in producing a clamping force for stretching the covering part, said clamping force being oriented substantially transversely to the seat direction.

4. The passenger seat device as claimed in claim 3, wherein the frame portions are spaced apart from one another in a direction transversely to the seat direction, and span a space in which the covering part is arranged in a retained state.

5. The passenger seat device as claimed in claim 3, wherein the frame unit has a transverse portion which connects the frame portions.

6. The passenger seat device as claimed in claim 1, further comprising two supporting bars, wherein the frame unit is arranged between the supporting bars.

7. The passenger seat device as claimed in claim 6, wherein the frame unit comprises a frame element which is fastened to at least one supporting bar.

8. The passenger seat device as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a support unit with at least one support means and by a seat direction, wherein, relative to the seat direction, the frame unit has a front region, and the support means forms at least one support point, on which the frame unit is supported in its front region.

9. The passenger seat device as claimed in claim 8, wherein the support means extends in a direction perpendicular to the seat direction.

10. The passenger seat device as claimed in claim 8 wherein the support unit is provided for supporting at least one supporting bar.

11. The passenger seat device as claimed in claim 1, further comprising an upholstery unit which, in a mounted state, is positioned on the covering unit.

12. The passenger seat device as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a seat direction, wherein, relative to the seat direction, the frame unit forms a front end and has a first partial region, which in the mounted state has a first orientation, and a second partial region, which is adjacent to the first partial region and to the front end, the second partial region being inclined downward.

13. The passenger seat device as claimed in claim 11, wherein, in a region above the inclined partial region of the frame unit, the upholstery unit has a thickness which increases toward the front end to form a horizontal seat surface.

14. The passenger seat device as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a covering part with a retaining portion in which a frame element of the frame unit is inserted in a retained state of the covering part.

15. The passenger seat device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the frame unit has a frame element which is configured as a tube.

16. The passenger seat device as claimed in claim 6, wherein the support unit is provided for supporting at least one supporting bar.

17. The passenger seat device as claimed in claim 12, wherein, in a region above the inclined partial region of the frame unit, the upholstery unit has a thickness which increases toward the front end to form a horizontal seat surface.
