Luggage Retention Device and Seat with Such a Luggage Retention Device

Abstract

A luggage retention device may be affixed underneath a seat area of a passenger seat and includes an upper element and a lower element which may be made of flexible materials. The upper element in the region of a backrest of the passenger seat is spaced apart from the lower element to form a raised part, and in the region of a front edge of a seat area contacts the lower element to form a part of the luggage retention device, the part being arranged so as to be lying substantially flat.

1 . A luggage retention device capable of being affixed underneath a seat area of a passenger seat, comprising: 
 an upper element; and    a lower element, wherein the upper element in a region of a backrest of the passenger seat is spaced apart from the lower element such that a raised part of the luggage retention device is formed and in the region of a front edge of the seat area contacts the lower element to form a part of the luggage retention device, the part being arranged so as to be lying substantially flat against a floor, and the lower element being made of flexible materials.    
   
   
       2 . The luggage retention device of  claim 1 , further comprising lateral delimitation devices, the lateral delimitation devices interconnecting edges of the upper element with those of the lower element in a region between the raised part and the substantially flat-lying part.  
   
   
       3 . The luggage retention device of  claim 2 , wherein the delimitation devices are made of an elastic net.  
   
   
       4 . The luggage retention device of  claim 2 , wherein the delimitation devices include a material with an elastic insert or tension tape.  
   
   
       5 . The luggage retention device of  claim 2 , wherein the delimitation devices are designed as a scissor-type mechanism.  
   
   
       6 . The luggage retention device of  claim 1 , wherein an area of the upper element is larger than that of the lower element.  
   
   
       7 . The luggage retention device of  claim 1 , wherein luggage retention device, by way of connections, is integrated with the passenger seat.  
   
   
       8 . The luggage retention device of  claim 7 , wherein in an installed state of the passenger seat, the lower element rests substantially flat on the floor to which the passenger seat is fastened.  
   
   
       9 . The luggage retention device of  claim 1 , wherein the luggage retention device is an independent component, and is slidable along a seat rail in which the passenger seat is arranged.  
   
   
       10 . The luggage retention device of  claim 1 , wherein the raised part of the luggage retention device is formed by a dimensionally stable frame.  
   
   
       11 . The luggage retention device of  claim 1 , wherein the raised part is formed by elastic fasteners provided on the upper element and connected to the passenger seat, the fasteners allowing the ability to push the upper element downwards onto the lower element.  
   
   
       12 . The luggage retention device of  claim 1 , wherein several luggage retention devices for a group of passenger seats form an integrated unit.  
   
   
       13 . A passenger seat comprising a luggage retention device of  claim 1.
