SEAT

WIPO Patent Application WO/2003/013904

A1

The invention relates to a seat, especially a vehicle seat, and preferably an air passenger seat, comprising a seat element and a seat element carrier (12), a seat back (10) which can be adjusted in terms of the incline thereof, and at least one armrest (14), said armrest being pivotably joined to the seat back (10). The armrest (14) is continuously moved with the increasing or decreasing incline of the seat back (10) by means of an adjustment mechanism (20), said adjustment mechanism (20) for the armrest (14) comprising at least four articulation points (22, 24, 26, 28). A parallelogram articulation of the armrest is thus achieved by which means said armrest can lower itself. The aim of the invention is to be able to practically bring the seat back into a horizontal position in which the so-called parallelogram geometrically follows a fictitious line in an average incline position of the seat back, the four articulation points of the parallelogram lying on one line. To this end, a critical dead centre position is easily overcome in that a control part forms a type of auxiliary parallelogram with its other articulation points (44, 46).
