Patent attributes
A vehicle seat system, especially for aircraft, has seat components such as a backrest (5) and a seat part (3) bordered at least on one side by a console (9) forming the arm rest. An arm-like operating part (13) extends at least partially above the plane of the head of the seat occupant (45), and has operating elements which are used at least in part to enhance comfort and/or suitable within the context of operation, especially flight operation, for this purpose. Because the arm-like operating part (13) forms a widening of the console (9) and extends forward proceeding from the area of the backrest (5) above the console (9) in an extension, and because the arm-like operating part (13) is configured as a rigid arched support, an aesthetically pleasing solution is obtained requiring little installation space, saving weight and providing a multifunction solution.
