Coach 'chair' from Connolly

WHAT IS described as a coach "chair" has been developed by Connolly Bros (Curriers) Ltd. Due for its public debut at the Earls Court show, the new reclining seat design is based on a medically approved anatomical grp shell with steel tube frame which adjusts from the leading edge. This method is said to ensure that the passenger maintains the same bodily contact in all positions and the knees are the only joints which change their angle while at the same time remaining the same distance from the floor.
There are three densities of foam — each 25 mm (1 in) thick — which are laminated together. The seats which will be on show are upholstered in leather but a spokesman for the company has told CM that the seat may be offered for conventional trimming. • The back of the seat is covered in anti-crash foam. The seat has survived a dynamic impact test involving a 10 g force at 32 km/ h (20 mph). The test was conducted on Plaxton's test rig.
The price of the new chair is said to be competitive with existing top quality seats and the weight of a pair is expected to be reduced from the prototype's 41 kg (901b).
