A seat system for a passenger aircraft. The seat system includes at least one passenger seat and a stowable tray installed onto or adjacent to the passenger seat. The stowable tray includes a tray plate adapted to support one or more items; a support arm attached to the tray plate adapted to move the tray plate between a stowable position and a presentation position; and a friction hinge attaching the tray plate to the support arm and adapted to adjust the tray plate between the presentation position and a tray position, wherein the tray plate is adapted to support a personal electronic device while in the presentation position and adapted to support one or more cocktail items while in the tray position. A second stowable tray may also be attached to the passenger seat.

A convertible lounge sofa system for seating, lounging, and working having a sofa seat bottom having a dual armrest/headrest positioned on one end, sofa seat bottom is configurable thereto a side facing chaise lounge seat having a back support segment, a center segment, a seat pan segment, and a lower leg support segment, and a sofa seat back configured to be opened, with deployable working surface, a storage feature, a power/data feature, and a lighting feature, and, thus, functions to enable seating configurations that utilize reduced floor space with smaller foot prints, and enable multi-person seating as in 1-2 or more and then conversion into a single person lounge or work seating by rotating 90 degrees.

Chair assemblies (e.g., powered recliner chairs, rocker style chairs, fixed position chairs, chairs with pivoting seats, recliner chairs, a sub-combination thereof, or a combination thereof), tables and trays are provided. More particularly, chair assemblies (e.g., powered recliner chairs, rocker style chairs, fixed position chairs, chairs with pivoting seats, recliner chairs, a sub-combination thereof, or a combination thereof), tables and trays, modular components for use within the chair, table, and tray assemblies, and parts for use within the modular components are provided.

An interlock assembly for a tray table of an aircraft includes a first interlock configured to be moved from an unlocked position to a locked position by rotation of a table leaf of the tray table from a stowed position toward a deployed position of the table leaf. The first interlock is configured to be moved from the locked position of the first interlock to the unlocked position of the first interlock by rotation of the table leaf into the deployed position. The interlock assembly includes a second interlock configured to be moved from an unlocked position of the second interlock to a locked position of the second interlock by rotation of the table leaf into the deployed position.

A modular chair assembly includes a seat member and at least three support leg units. The seat unit includes a seat member which has a lower surface and an upper surface opposite to the lower surface. Each of the three support leg units is detachably mounted to the lower surface of the seat member, and includes an inner axle and a hollow tube sleeved on the inner axle. The inner axle and the hollow tube are made of different materials to permit the inner axle to have a larger anti-bending strength than the hollow tube. The inner axle includes a bottom end surface for being supported on the ground.

A movable tablet for use with a chair is disclosed. The movable tablet is part of a mounting assembly that allows the tablet to be used with different types of chairs. The mounting assembly includes a stationary pivot rod and an outer housing that surrounds the pivot rod. A lower bearing is positioned between the outer housing and a mounting plate secured to a back face of the tablet. A guide hub of the lower bearing travels within a guide track on the mounting plate secured to the tablet to limit the pivoting movement of the tablet. An upper bearing is positioned between the mounting plate and the tablet such that the upper and lower bearings are positioned between metallic elements of the mounting assembly. A friction disc is positioned within the mounting assembly to control and adjust the pivoting movement of the tablet relative to the stationary pivot bar.
