Abstract

An adjustable seat of a vehicle such as an aircraft, comprises a fixed baseplate, the top plate of which is mounted on two lower components by two hinged joints. These hinged joints define two pins oriented parallel to the plane of the top plate, in the vehicle's transverse and longitudinal directions respectively. Moreover, one of these hinged joints is placed at the apex of a triangle, the opposite side of which is coincident with the pin of the other hinged joint. The integrity of the bed of the seat is thereby preserved in the event of twisting of the floor.
