Aircraft seat

The seat consists of a back (2) with a headrest (4) and a base in two sections (12, 14). The rear section (14) of the seat base is able to move between an upper and a lower position, and the front section (12) is attached to it by connecting bars (26, 28). When the rear section is in its upper position the front section is retracted and partly beneath it. When the rear section is pushed down by a passenger sitting on it the connecting bars, linked to levers (30, 34) beneath the seat, lift the front section to a position where it forms a continuous seat base.
