Seat for a public transport vehicle

Abstract

Abstract The seat is for use in a public transport vehicle, and comprises a common upholstered frame incorporating the seat and backrest and fixed to the seat frame. This tilts on a transverse axis roughly one-third of the way along from the seat leading edge and is supported by a gas spring. The upholstered frame is attached to an intermediate seat frame fixed to the seat frame, while the gas spring extends between the intermediate frame and the backrest portion of the upholstered one. A compression spring is also mounted between these frames and which with the gas spring unloaded exerts a vertical supporting force on the upholstered frame corresponding to the seat weight plus that of the occupant.
