Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A seat assembly configured to be employed in vehicle seats such as aircraft passenger seats. The seat assembly includes a seat frame having first and second spaced frame members and first and second spaced transverse beams. A plurality of springs positioned proximate an aft end of the seat frame generally above the second transverse beam span between the first and second frame members. A support member is attached to the plurality of springs and to a seat back attachable to the seat frame. A cushion assembly mounts on the seat frame such that the aft end rests on the plurality of springs while the forward end rests on the front transverse beam. In use, as the aft end of the cushion assembly deflects downward toward the second transverse beam the forward end simultaneously rotates around the first transverse beam.
