Abstract

The present invention generally relates to passenger seats. Some embodiments are related to a compact seat kinematic for moving a seat from a retracted position to an extended position. In some embodiments an intermediate component may be provided for coupling between a lower frame and an upper seat portion. The intermediate component (230) may translate in a forward direction relative to the lower frame and may translate the upper seat portion in the forward direction relative to the intermediate component. Other embodiments relate to a seat backrest recline system that may provide constant ratio of speed and force and may forgo the need for calibration.
