First Claim
1. A seat, comprising:
- a sitting seat part;
a back rest seat part adjustably coupled to said sitting seat part to vary relative positions thereof;
a leg rest seat part adjustably coupled to said sitting seat part to vary relative positions thereof;
an operating device coupled to at least one of said back rest seat part and said leg rest seat part for moving said one of said back rest seat part and said leg rest seat part to different positions relative to said sitting seat part;
a control device with at least one manually operable control component for initiating operation of said operating device; and

Abstract
A seat, in particular a vehicle seat, preferably an aircraft passenger seat, has seating components such as a sitting part (20), a back rest (22), and a leg rest (24). The positions of these components, particularly their inclination relative to each other, is adjustable by at least one operating device (32), and by a control device (40) with at least one control component, preferably manually actuatable. The control device (40) is provided with at least one function element (48, 50) which makes certain that the control device and/or control component cannot be activated unintentionally. In addition to the control device, such as one in the form of an operating component or operating key, another structural component (function element) is present as a switching component. Operation of the function element in the form of a connection process is necessary to cause activation of the control device for initiation of an operating process. A high degree of safety is attained and inadvertent operating processes cannot occur.
