    ARRANGEMENT OF INDIVIDUAL SEATS FOR PASSENGERS
    OF AN AIRPLANE
    The present invention relates to an arrangement of individual passenger seats for an aircraft.
    "Business Class" type airplane seats offer passengers various comfort positions, from the "sitting" position to a "lying" position in which the seat defines a substantially horizontal sleeping plane for the passenger.
    Intermediate comfort positions are also available, such as the "relax" position in which the backrest is strongly inclined. Generally, these positions are obtained by the inclination of the backrest, pivoting about a horizontal axis and perpendicular to the axis of the seat. The passenger can then remain in the seat during transitions between the different positions.
    The bed generally consists in particular of the backrest, the seat, a legrest and a footrest, the latter possibly being fixed or linked to the kinematics of the seat.
    Certain seating arrangements for airplane cabins of the "Business Class" type allow direct access to a circulation aisle for all passengers, via a passage arranged between two seats arranged one behind the other in the longitudinal direction of the 'plane. Passengers can thus get out of their seat easily, especially when the seat is in the "extended" position without disturbing other passengers.
    In certain configurations, the seats are arranged in two longitudinal columns and the seats in the same row have inclined axes, that is to say that they form a non-zero angle with respect to the longitudinal axis of the 'arrangement.
    The document US2007246981 describes a chevron configuration known as of the "Herringbone" type in English, in which the seats of the same row are turned inwards in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the arrangement, that is to say say that their axes intersect the longitudinal axis of the aircraft in front of the seats.
    In the configuration described in document W003 / 013903 known as of the "reverse Herringbone" type, the seats of the same row are turned towards the outside of the longitudinal axis, that is to say that the axes intersect the longitudinal axis of the airplane at the rear of the seats. Passengers are thus directed to the cabin traffic aisle. The invention aims to improve the modularity of existing configurations by proposing an arrangement of individual seats intended to be installed in an aircraft cabin comprising a first set of two seats and a second set of two seats, each seat having an axis and being convertible between a sitting position and a lying position, said arrangement having a longitudinal axis, characterized in that: - a first seat of the first set is positioned opposite a first seat of the second set, - a second seat of the first set is positioned opposite a second seat of the second set, - the first seat and the second seat of the first set being turned inwards towards the longitudinal axis of the arrangement, - the first seat and the second seat of the second set being turned outwards opposite the longitudinal axis of the arrangement, and in that the arrangement c also includes: - a first central console and a second central console positioned between the first set of seats and the second set of seats, - the first central console comprising a first foot area and a second foot area open in two opposite directions one with respect to the other and associated respectively with the first seat of the first set and the first seat of the second set, - the second central console comprising a first foot area and a second foot area open in two opposite directions one with respect to the other and associated respectively with the second seat of the first set and with the second seat of the second set. The invention thus makes it possible to offer passengers a variety of positions in the aircraft cabin while having great modularity in the configuration of the seating arrangement.
    According to one embodiment, in each central console, the foot zones are superimposed at least partially along the longitudinal axis of the arrangement.
    According to one embodiment, said arrangement comprises a central partition extending along the longitudinal axis to separate between them the seats of the same assembly. Such a configuration makes it possible to create two seat modules facing each other.
    According to one embodiment, the central partition is retractable between a deployed position and a stowed position.
    According to one embodiment, in the stowed position, the central partition is housed at least partially in a space between the two central consoles.
    According to one embodiment, the central partition is made in a single part.
    According to one embodiment, the central partition is made in two parts to isolate the seats side by side from the two sets of seats.
    According to one embodiment, said central partition is mechanically connected to the masts of the arrangement.
    According to one embodiment, said arrangement further comprises a transverse partition extending in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of said arrangement for isolating the first set of seats from the second set of seats.
    According to one embodiment, the transverse partition is produced in two retractable parts between a deployed position and a stowed position, said two parts making it possible to separate the first seats of each set or the second seats of each set independently.
    According to one embodiment, in the stowed position, each part of the transverse partition is housed at least partially in a space provided in a corresponding central console.
    According to one embodiment, the transverse partition carries screens each associated with a seat of said arrangement.
    According to one embodiment, said arrangement further comprises at least one support carrying a screen, said support being rotatably mounted relative to a mast and said screen being rotatably mounted relative to said support.
    According to one embodiment, said arrangement comprises at least one lateral partition extending along a circulation corridor, said lateral partition comprising means for closing a passage between the seat and the corresponding central console.
    According to one embodiment, the lateral partition is carried by masts.
    According to one embodiment, the masts are hollow to allow the passage of electric beams carrying in particular power and data signals for multimedia systems associated with the seats.
    According to one embodiment, each seat is associated with a shell positioned around the seat backs. The invention also relates to an aircraft cabin comprising: - a central group of seats and - two lateral groups of seats located on either side of the central group of seats, - each lateral group of seats being separated from the group central by a circulation corridor, characterized in that the central group comprises at least one arrangement of four seats as previously defined.
    According to one embodiment, the at least one arrangement of four seats is located at one end of the central group of seats.
    Such a configuration saves space in the cabin by avoiding having to install a module integrating the foot zones at one end of the central group.
    According to one embodiment, the lateral groups are formed in particular by a repetition of modules of two seats associated with a central console.
    Of course, the various characteristics, variants and / or embodiments of the present invention can be associated with one another in various combinations insofar as they are not incompatible or mutually exclusive of each other.
    The present invention will be better understood and other characteristics and advantages will become apparent on reading the detailed description which follows, comprising embodiments given by way of illustration with reference to the appended figures, presented by way of nonlimiting examples, which may be used to complete the understanding of the present invention and the description of its implementation and, where appropriate, contribute to its definition, in which: - Figures 1a to 1d are perspective views illustrating a first embodiment of the seating arrangement according to the invention known as "cinema mode"; - Figure 2 is a perspective view of a double module that can be used to make a plurality of seat arrangements according to the present invention located back to back; - Figures 3a to 3g are perspective views illustrating a second embodiment of the seating arrangement according to the invention called "office mode"; - Figures 4a to 4f are top views illustrating different configurations of the arrangement according to the invention can be selected according to the number of passengers; - Figures 5a to 5j illustrate different aircraft cabin configurations according to the invention having different numbers of seats.

    FIGS. 1a to 1d and 3a to 3g show an arrangement 10 of individual seats intended to be installed in an aircraft cabin. This arrangement 10 comprises a first set 11 of two seats 13.1, 13.2 and a second set 12 of two seats 13.3, 13.4. In each set 11, 12, the seats (13.1 and 13.2 for the set 11, and 13.3 and 13.4 for the set 12) are located side by side with one another.
    Each seat 13.1-13.4 has an axis X1 corresponding to the intersection between a horizontal plane and a plane of symmetry of the seat. Each seat 13.1-13.4 is preferably convertible between a "seated" position corresponding to the position used in particular during the stop, takeoff and landing phases of the aircraft and a "lying" position in which the seat 13.1 -13.4 defines a substantially horizontal sleeping plane for the passenger. Each seat 13.1-13.4 may also take intermediate positions, called relax positions, between these two extreme positions. The arrangement 10 has a longitudinal axis X2 which may extend along the axis X3 of the aircraft cabin (cf. FIGS. 5a to 5j) or be parallel to this axis X3. As a variant, the axis X2 could be substantially perpendicular or form any angle with respect to the axis X3 of the cabin. The longitudinal axis X2 passes between the seats 13.1 and 13.2 (respectively 13.3 and 13.4) of the same assembly 11 (respectively 12). This axis X2 may lie in a plane of symmetry of the arrangement 10.
    More specifically, a first seat 13.1 of the first set 11 is positioned opposite a first seat 13.3 of the second set 12 and a second seat 13.2 of the first set 11 is positioned opposite a second seat 13.4 of the second set 12.
    In addition, the first seat 13.1 and the second seat 13.2 of the first set 11 are turned inwards in the direction of the longitudinal axis X2 of the arrangement 10. The first seat 13.3 and the second seat 13.4 of the second set 12 are turned outwards opposite the longitudinal axis X2 of arrangement 10.
    Preferably, the axes X1 of the seats 13.1, 13.2, 13.3, 13.4 form substantially the same angle relative to the longitudinal axis X2 of the arrangement 10. The axes X1 of the seats of the same assembly 11, 12 intersect the longitudinal axis X2 of the arrangement 10 substantially at the same point.
    Thus, the axes X1 of the seats 13.1, 13.2 of the first set 11 intersect the longitudinal axis X2 at the front of the seats 13.1, 13.2 substantially at the same point; while the axes X1 of the seats 13.3, 13.4 of the second set 12 intersect the longitudinal axis X2 at the rear of the seats 13.3, 13.4 substantially at the same point.
    Alternatively, the axes X1 of the seats of the same set 11, 12 can be offset with respect to each other along the longitudinal axis X2, so that the axes of the seats of the same set 11, 12 intersect the longitudinal axis X2 at different points.
    Each seat 13.1, 13.2, 13.3, 13.4 is integrated in a corresponding housing of a base module 15. This base module 15 comprises an armrest 16 situated on one side of the seat 13.1-13.4 and a cushion 17 situated from the other side of the seat 13.1-13.4. The cushion 17 is preferably a sleeping maximization cushion intended to be positioned in the extension of the sleeping plane of the seat 13.1-13.4 when the latter is in the extended position. The armrest 16 could be a retractable armrest between a raised position allowing the passenger to put his elbows when the corresponding seat 13.1-13.4 is in the seated position and a lowered position in which the armrest 16 is located in the extension of the seat 13.1- 13.4 when lying down.
    Each seat 13.1-13.4 is also associated with a shell 20, visible in particular in FIG. 1b, positioned around its backrest in order to isolate the seat 13.1-13.4 from a neighboring arrangement. The shells 20 of the seats 13.1 and 13.2 (respectively 13.3 and 13.4) of the same set 11 (respectively 12) may be made in one piece.
    In the case where several arrangements 10 are positioned one behind the other, the seat 13.1 (respectively 13.2) of the first set 11 and the seat 13.3 (respectively 13.4) adjacent to the second set 12 positioned along the same longitudinal column can be obtained from of a double module 23. As illustrated in FIG. 2, the double module 23 has two housings 24.1, 24.2 to receive the seats 13.1 and 13.3 (respectively 13.2 and 13.4) so that the seats 13.1 and 13.3 (respectively 13.2 and 13.4) are rotated in two directions opposite to each other. One of the seats 13.1 (respectively 13.2) is turned towards the longitudinal axis X2, while the other seat 13.3 (respectively 13.4) is turned towards the outside of the longitudinal axis X2. The axes X1 of the two seats 13.1 and 13.3 (respectively 13.2 and 13.4) installed on the same module 28 are preferably substantially parallel to each other. A shell 20 extends between the two seats 13.1 and 13.3 (respectively 13.2 and 13.4) of the double module 23. In addition, in the double module 23, the backrests of the seats 13.1 and 13.3 (respectively 13.2 and 13.4) in the extended position are overlap at least partially in the longitudinal direction Y.
    Furthermore, the arrangement 10 comprises a first central console 27.1 and a second central console 27.2 positioned between the first set of seats 11 and the second set of seats 12. The central consoles 27.1, 27.2 each have a flat upper face 28 on which the passenger may in particular place objects.
    The first central console 27.1 comprises a first foot area 30.1 and a second foot area 30.2 open in two directions opposite to each other and associated respectively with the first seat 13.1 of the first set 11 and the first seat 13.3 of the second set 12. Thus, the foot area 30.1 is located in the extension of the first seat 13.1 of the first set 11 when the latter is in the extended position. The opposite foot area 30.2 is located in the extension of the first seat 13.3 of the second assembly 12 when the latter is in the extended position.
    Similarly, the second central console 27.2 has a first foot area 30.3 and a second footrest area 30.4 open in two directions opposite to each other and associated respectively with the second seat 13.2 of the first set 11 and to the second seat 13.4 of the second set 12. Thus, the foot area 30.3 is located in the extension of the second seat 13.2 of the first set 11 when the latter is in the extended position. The opposite foot area 30.4 is located in the extension of the second seat 13.4 of the second assembly 12 when the latter is in the extended position.
    In each central console 27.1, 27.2, the foot areas 30.1 and 30.2 (respectively 30.3 and 30.4) are superimposed at least partially along the longitudinal axis X2. Thus, there is at least one straight line perpendicular to the longitudinal axis X2 which intersects the two foot areas 30.1 and 30.2 (respectively 30.3 and 30.4) of the same central console 27.1 (respectively 27.2). More specifically, the foot areas 30.1-30.4 are constituted by housings 31 open in the direction of the corresponding seat 13.1-13.4 and a cushion 32 of substantially horizontal footrest located inside the housing 31 and on which the passenger can rest his feet, as shown in Figure 1 a.
    The housings 31 produced in a central console 27.1, 27.2 are each delimited by a bottom 33, the bottoms 33 of the two housings 31 formed in the same consoles 27.1, 27.2 being connected together by a common wall 34 inclined with respect to the axis longitudinal X2.
    In order to have a modular character, the central consoles 27.1, 27.2 are advantageously independent of each other. Alternatively, the consoles 27.1, 27.2 may however be made in one piece so as to form a single piece.
    Furthermore, a central partition 37 extends along the longitudinal axis X2 to separate between them the seats 13.1, 13.2 (respectively 13.3 and 13.4) of the same assembly 11, 12. As illustrated in FIG. 1c, a such a configuration makes it possible to create two seat modules face to face, namely a first module formed by the seats 13.1 and 13.3, and a second module formed by the seats 13.2 and 13.4. As explained in more detail below, these seat modules face to face which can be repeated in the lateral groups 62 of seats in the aircraft cabin, as illustrated by FIGS. 5a and 5b in particular .
    The central partition 37 is advantageously retractable between a deployed position and a stowed position. In the stowed position, said central partition 37 is housed at least partially in a space 38 between the two central consoles 27.1, 27.2, as illustrated by FIG. 3d.
    The central partition 37 is made in a single or in two parts 37.1, 37.2 to independently isolate the seats 13.1 and 13.2 (respectively 13.3 and 13.4) side by side of the two sets of seats 11, 12.
    In a particular embodiment, the central partition 37 is mechanically connected to masts 40. In fact, the arrangement 10 includes hollow masts 40 extending vertically to allow the passage of electrical harnesses carrying in particular power and signal signals. data for multimedia systems associated with seats 13.1-13.4. It will thus be possible to take advantage of the presence of these masts 40 to use them as a support for fixing the central partition 37 and the other partitions of the arrangement 10 as is explained below. To this end, the masts 40 carrying the central partition 37 may include slides to allow movement of each part 37.1, 37.2 of the partition 37 in a vertical direction to pass from one position to the other. As a variant, the displacement of the central partition 37 could be a lateral displacement or a rotation or a combination of these displacements.
    Furthermore, a transverse partition 43 extends in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis X2 of the arrangement 10 to separate the two sets of seats 11 and 12 from each other.
    In the embodiment of FIG. 1d, the transverse partition 43 carries screens 44 each associated with a seat 13.1-13.4 of the arrangement 10. The transverse partition 43 thus carries two screens 44 on each of its faces. As before, the masts 40 could serve as a support structure for the transverse partition 43. In certain configurations, the transverse partition 43 could include shapes for covering and masking the masts 40.
    The transverse partition 43 is preferably made in two parts 43.1, 43.2 which may be retractable between a deployed position corresponding to the position shown in Figure 3d and a stowed position.
    As illustrated in FIG. 3f, in the stowed position, each part 43.1, 43.2 of the transverse partition 43 is housed at least partially in a space 45 formed in the corresponding central console 27.1,27.2. In order to pass from one position to another, each part 43.1, 43.2 of the partition 43 is movable in rotation along a vertical axis and is capable of sliding along this axis.
    In fact, the space 45 receiving a corresponding part being inclined relative to the direction of extension of the transverse partition 43 in the deployed position, it is first of all necessary to rotate it around a vertical axis in order to align the part 43.1, 43.2 of the partition 43 with the corresponding storage space 45, as illustrated in FIG. 3e, then push the part 43.1, 43.2 downwards in the vertical direction in order to make it penetrate inside the storage space 45, as illustrated in FIG. 3f.
    In the case where the length of the storage space 45 is less than that of the part 43.1, 43.2 of the corresponding partition 43 when the latter is in the deployed position, it will be possible to use a telescopic transverse partition 43.
    As illustrated by FIGS. 4a to 4f, the arrangement 10 provides great modularity making it possible to propose several comfortable arrangements for the passengers.
    Thus, in a so-called "solo" mode shown in FIG. 4a, it is possible to isolate each passenger by deploying all of the central 37 and transverse 43 partitions.
    In a so-called “double” mode shown in FIG. 4b, it is possible to make two passengers communicate side by side in a configuration of inverted chevron seats by retracting the part 37.2 of the central wall 37.
    In a so-called “even” mode represented in FIG. 4c, it is possible to make two passengers communicate side by side in a configuration of chevron seats by retracting the other part 37.1 of the central wall 37.
    In a so-called "twin" mode represented in FIG. 4d, it is possible to make two passengers communicate, placed one opposite the other, by retracting a part 43.2 of the transverse wall 43.
    In a so-called "trio" mode represented in FIG. 4e, it is possible to make three passengers communicate by retracting the part 43.2 of the transverse wall 43 as well as the part 37.2 of the central wall 37.
    In a so-called "quad" mode shown in FIG. 4f, it is possible to make the four passengers in the arrangement communicate by completely retracting the central wall 37 as well as the transverse wall 43.
    As previously indicated, it is possible to use screens 44 carried by the transverse partition 43. This corresponds to the cinema embodiment of FIGS. 1a to 1d.
    As a variant, in the “office” type embodiment of FIGS. 3a to 3g, supports 48 are provided carrying screens 44. Each support 48 is mounted to rotate relative to a corresponding mast 40 and said screen 44 is mounted to rotate by report to said support 48.
    In order to move from a stowed position of the screen 44 to a position of use, it suffices to rotate the support 48 in the direction of the corresponding seat 13.1-13.4 as illustrated in FIG. 3c, then to rotate the screen 44 on its support 48 in order to orient the screen 44 in the desired direction. Reverse operations allow the screen 44 to pass from the use position to the stowed position in which the screen 44 extends in a plane substantially parallel to the wall 37, as shown in FIG. 3e.
    It will also be possible to provide shelves 51 each associated with a seat 13.1-13.4. Each shelf 51 is movable relative to a corresponding central console 27.1-27.2 between a position of use in which the shelf 51 projects relative to the console 27.1,27.2 while lying in the extension of the upper face 28 of the corresponding console 27.1, 27.2, as illustrated in FIG. 3g, and a stowed position in which the tablet 51 is stored in an internal housing of the corresponding central console 27.1, 27.2, as illustrated in FIG. 3f.
    As can be seen in particular in FIGS. 1b and 3b, the arrangement 10 comprises two lateral partitions 54.1, 54.2 each extending along a circulation corridor. Each lateral partition 54.1, 54.2 comprises means 55 for closing a passage 56 between the seat 13.1-13.4 and the corresponding central console 27.1, 27.2. The closing means 55 could for example consist of a door mounted to move in translation between two sides of the partition 54.1, 54.2 or a door mounted to rotate around a hinge. Advantageously, the side partitions 54.1, 54.2 are carried by corresponding masts 40.
    It appears from the above, that to go from the "cinema" configuration of FIGS. 1a to 1d to the "office" configuration of FIGS. 3a to 3g, the basic modules 15, the central consoles 27.1, 27.2, as well as the shells 20 have been kept and only the upper parts of arrangement 10 (central partition 37, transverse partition 43, screen supports 48) have been modified to adapt arrangement 10 to the specific features of the configuration imposed by the airline. There is thus a great modularity in the design of the seat configurations which are obtained from elementary common elements (basic modules 15, central consoles 27.1,27.2, and shells 20).
    FIGS. 5a to 5j show different configuration of aircraft cabin 59 that can be produced. These configurations are formed by a central group of seats 61 and two lateral groups of seats 62 located on either side of the central group 61. In this case, the two lateral groups of seats 62 are close to the walls of the aircraft 64.
    The central group 61 is separated from each of the lateral groups 62 by a circulation corridor 63.
    In the embodiment of FIG. 5a, the cabin 59 has 28 passenger seats. The central group 61 includes a repetition of the arrangement 10 with four seats 13.1-13.4 according to the invention. At its ends, the central group 61 comprises two end assemblies of two seats 65 in which the seats 13 are turned away from the axis X3 of the cabin 59 (arrangement in "inverted chevron" or "reverse herringbone" in English).
    The lateral groups 62 are formed in particular by a repetition of two-seat modules 13.1 and 13.3 (respectively 13.2 and 13.4) associated with a central console 27.1 (respectively 27.2), which corresponds to a repetition of a half-arrangement 10.
    The embodiment of FIG. 5b is similar to that of FIG. 5a except that the end assemblies 65 have seats 13 turned inwards in the direction of the axis X1 (arrangement in "chevron" or "herringbone" in English).
    In the embodiment of FIG. 5c, the central group 61 begins with an arrangement 10 with four seats 13.1-13.4 according to the invention and continues with chevron arrangements, which saves space by avoiding to have to install a module 66 integrating the foot areas as was the case for the two previous configurations of Figures 5a and 5b. Furthermore, the side groups 62 are each formed by a column of seats 13 facing the wall 64 along which extends said column.
    In the embodiment of FIG. 5d with 30 seats, the arrangements 10 of four seats 13.1-13.4 are installed at the beginning as well as at the end of the central group of seats 61. The lateral groups 62 include sets of two seats 13.1 and 13.3 (respectively 13.2 and 13.4) associated with a central console 27.1 (respectively 27.2).
    In the embodiment of FIG. 5e with 32 seats, the arrangement 10 of four seats 13.1-13.4 is repeated twice at the start of the central group 61.
    The lateral groups 62 are each formed by a column of seats 13 facing the wall 64 along which extends said column.
    The embodiment of FIG. 5f is similar to that of FIG. 5e, except that the arrangements 10 of four seats 13.1-13.4 are installed at the start and at the end of the central group 61.
    In the embodiment of FIG. 5g with 30 seats, the arrangement 10 of four seats 13.1-13.4 is installed at the end of the central group 61, the rest of the seats 13 having an inverted chevron configuration. The lateral groups 62 comprise sets of two seats 13.1 and 13.3 (respectively 13.2 and 13.4) associated with a central console 27.1 (respectively 27.2).
    In the embodiment of FIG. 5h with 32 seats, the arrangement 10 of four seats 13.1-13.4 is installed at the end of the central group 61, the rest of the seats 13 having an inverted chevron configuration. The lateral groups 62 are formed by seats 13 configured as a chevron with different angles of inclination.
    In the embodiment of FIG. 5i with 32 seats, the arrangement 10 of four seats 13.1-13.4 is installed in the central group 61 behind a set of seats 13 configured in chevron. The lateral groups 62 are each formed by a column of seats 13 facing the wall 64 along which extends said column.
    In the embodiment of FIG. 5j with 32 seats, the arrangement 10 of four seats 13.1-13.4 is installed in the central group 61 behind a set of seats 13 configured in inverted chevron. The lateral groups 62 are each formed by a column of seats 13 facing the wall 64 along which extends said column.
