Abstract

In a preferred embodiment, a tilt-recline force adjusting apparatus for an aircraft passenger seat configured for a tilt-recline positioning includes a first spring (56) having a first axis to urge a seat back into an upright position, the first spring (56) arranged to compress as the seat is manually reclined, a helper spring (58) having a second axis parallel to the first axis, the helper spring (58) arranged to assist or counteract the first spring (56), an adjustment mechanism coupled to the helper spring (58) to increase or decrease a force exerted by the helper spring (58) to assist or counteract the first spring (56), and a weight sensing mechanism (52, 64) coupled to the adjustment mechanism and operable to actuate the adjustment mechanism in direct proportion to a weight of a seated passenger, whereby the force exerted on the aircraft seat to urge the seat back into an upright position is greater for a heavier seated passenger.
