Description

Description Seat for a passenger transport vehicle The invention relates to a seat for a vehicle for transporting people, comprising a backrest with a front side and a back side and a table arranged on the back side of the backrest. Furthermore, the invention relates to a vehicle for transporting people, comprising at least one such seat or one further developed as described below. Currently, no individual lockable storage solutions are used in the passenger seating area of passenger transport vehicles. Patent EP 3 795 417 B1 describes a seat that is designed as a closable, permanently formed cavity in the backrest. This has the disadvantage that additional space must be provided in the backrest, resulting in a greater depth of the backrest or reduced seating comfort. Based on this, the object of the invention is to provide an improved seat with individual storage space solution. This problem is solved by the seat of claim 1 and the vehicle of claim 12. Advantageous embodiments and further developments are the subject of the respective subclaims. REPLACEMENT SHEET (RULE 26) According to the invention, a seat for a passenger transport vehicle is provided. The seat comprises a backrest having a front and a rear side, and a table arranged on the rear side of the backrest. The table can be arranged in a folded position, an unfolded position, and a storage compartment position forming a first storage compartment between the rear side of the backrest and the table. According to the invention, a vehicle for transporting people is further provided, comprising at least one such seat or one further developed as described below. The solution described has the advantage that the space is only created when needed by the passenger, and only then does it encroach on the passenger's personal space. Furthermore, it avoids increasing the depth of the backrest and/or reducing seating comfort. Furthermore, the familiar design of a folding table is retained and a storage solution is provided in addition to the familiar elements. The design according to the invention makes it possible to create an additional storage compartment inexpensively and easily. Vehicles suitable for passenger transport are specifically adapted to passenger transport. In a further development of the seat, it can be provided that the table can be locked in the storage compartment position by means of a locking device. This ensures that only authorized persons have access to the storage compartment and that it can be locked against unauthorized access by the locking device. Once the storage compartment has been locked by the locking device, it remains closed until an authorized person unlocks it again. In an advantageous development, the locking device comprises, in addition to mechanical means for locking the table, a lock. The lock can comprise a mechanical locking mechanism, such as a simple rotary lever, eyelets for a padlock or a locking cylinder. It is also possible for the lock to also comprise electronic mechanisms, such as a fingerprint scanner, a combination lock or optical means such as a camera or a scanner. Furthermore, it is possible for the electronic mechanisms to comprise a radio interface, such as a transceiver. Such a transceiver can use, for example, NFC, Bluetooth, ZigBee or another common standard. The locking device must be distinguished from a locking device on the table, which prevents the table from accidentally falling down from the folded position. It is possible that the seat has a locking device in addition to the locking device. In an advantageous embodiment of the seat, it can be provided that the table, in the folded position, lies essentially against the back of the backrest. This ensures that when folded in, the table does not encroach on the passenger's personal space and the person to whom the table is assigned has as much space as possible in the seating area. In a further development of the seat, it can be provided that the table is arranged in the folded position in such a way that it is arranged closer to the back of the backrest than in the storage compartment position. This ensures that when the table is not in the storage compartment position , the table is located closer to the back of the seat back in the folded position and the personal space of the passenger to which the table is assigned is thereby increased when the storage compartment is not required . In an advantageous embodiment of the seat, it can further be provided that the seat has a first flexible holding element, preferably a net, which is arranged on the rear side of the backrest, for forming a first pocket which is designed to receive objects. This provides a flexible holding element suitable for accommodating objects of different sizes. The flexible holding means is designed such that it can accommodate objects both in the storage compartment position and in the unfolded position of the table. In a further development of the seat, it can be
