Patent Images
1. A vehicle seat, comprising:
- a seat;
a swivel connected to and rotatably supporting the seat;
a swivel frame connected to the swivel;
a first lateral rail oriented substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of an aircraft when the seat is positioned in a TTL position, the first lateral rail supporting the swivel frame, the first lateral rail permitting the swivel frame to move in a first direction; and
a first longitudinal rail oriented substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the aircraft when the seat is positioned in a TTL position, the first longitudinal rail supporting the first lateral rail such that the first lateral rail is movable along the first longitudinal rail, thereby permitting the swivel frame to move in a second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction.

11. A vehicle seat, comprising:
-
a seat; a swivel connected to and rotatably supporting the seat, the swivel permitting the seat to undergo a swivel movement; a swivel frame connected to the swivel; a first lateral rail supporting the swivel frame, the first lateral rail permitting the swivel frame to move in a first direction; and a first longitudinal rail supporting the swivel frame, the first longitudinal rail permitting the swivel frame to move in a second direction, different from the first direction; wherein movement of the swivel frame in the first direction and the second direction is independent of the swivel movement. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A vehicle seat, comprising:
-
a seat; a swivel connected to and rotatably supporting the seat, the swivel permitting rotational positioning of the seat through at least 90 degrees of rotation; a swivel frame connected to the swivel; a first lateral rail supporting the swivel frame, the first lateral rail permitting the swivel frame to move in a first direction; and a first longitudinal rail supporting the swivel frame, the first longitudinal rail permitting the swivel frame to move in a second direction, different from the first direction; wherein movement of the swivel frame in the first direction and the second direction is independent of the rotational positioning of the seat. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
