The invention generally relates to bed structures having an inflatable and/or collapsible/deflatable component. More particularly, it relates to aisle-spanning double bed configurations capable of supporting multiple users in a comfortable sleeping position.

An aircraft divan includes a lateral bracket connecting between front and rear legs with lateral bracket front and rear ends, a first track defined by the lateral bracket between the lateral bracket front and rear ends, an upright, having upright top and bottom ends, a second track defined by the upright between the upright top and bottom ends, a seat pan having seat pan front and rear ends, the seat pan being slidingly connected to the first track adjacent to the seat pan rear end, and a backrest having backrest top and bottom ends, the backrest being slidingly connected to the second track adjacent to the backrest top end. The seat pan rear end is pivotably connected to the backrest adjacent to the backrest bottom end such that movement of the seat pan is transmitted to the backrest so as to move together between upright and berth positions.

In a preferred embodiment, systems and methods for connecting a monument attachment apparatus to an aircraft panel include a monument attachment apparatus having a first aperture configured to receive a fastener, a user's fingers and a tool to fasten the fastener, as well as a pair of substantially parallel, and a second aperture in a plane substantially perpendicular to a plane of the first aperture which is configured to align with a corresponding receptacle disposed on a structural frame of an aircraft cabin. In connecting, a first plate is bonded to an interior surface of a first exterior wall of the panel, a second plate is bonded to an interior surface of a second interior wall of the panel, and a portion of a core of the panel is disposed in a gap between the pair of plates and bonded to a portion of an interior surface of each plate.

The present application relates to providing an aircraft storage container including a lower portion having a horizontal bottom and a plurality of vertical sides configured to form a storage volume, an upper portion rotationally coupled to one of the plurality of vertical sides, a gas piston having a locking mechanism wherein the gas piston is coupled between the lower portion and the upper portion, the gas piston being configured to support the upper portion when the locking mechanism is engaged, a rotational member operative to disengage the locking mechanism when rotated and to engage the locking mechanism when released, and a latch mechanism having a rotational lever, wherein the latch mechanism is operative to rotate the rotational member in response to a pressure on the rotational lever.

A passenger seat row, for a vehicle such as a passenger aircraft, convertible between passenger seats and bunk beds. The passenger seat row includes a frame assembly including a backrest extending substantially a length of the frame assembly, the backrest configured to move between a stowed condition against the frame assembly and a deployed condition forming a substantially horizontal bed. Armrests attached to the frame assembly reposition to support the bed when in the deployed condition. In use, deploying the backrest forms a first bed positioned over the second bed to form a bunk bed sleeping provision for use, for example, during flight.

An aircraft cabin comprising a credenza and a lounge chair disposed above the credenza is disclosed. The lounge chair is adjustable between a first configuration defining a first seating arrangement and a second configuration defining a second seating arrangement. Also disclosed is a mechanism to facilitate the adjustment of the lounge chair.

A front sleep support system for an airplane seat having a headrest portion moveable between a stowed position in which the headrest portion is configured to support the back of a user's head and a deployed position in which the headrest portion is configured to support the front of a user's head, and a moveable arm configured to connect the headrest portion to a seat having a seat backrest and a seat base, the moveable arm defining a pivot point, wherein the headrest portion is configured to move pivotably about the pivot point between the stowed position and the deployed position, and wherein the moveable arm permits the headrest portion to move linearly relative to the seat base for deployment and/or stowing of the headrest portion between the stowed position and the deployed position.

A multi-layer sleeping compartment for an aircraft is provided in order to more comfortable accommodate passengers to recline and sleep. The multilayer compartment houses a plurality of sleeping pods arranged either side of an entrance, and the sleeping compartment is generally aligned with a longitudinal axis of the aircraft. Further the pods may be booked for session times during the normal flight of an aircraft.

A storage container (100) has a base (102) defining at least one storage compartment (202, 204, 206, 208, 210, 212), a top (104) movable between closed and opened positions, latching and locking assemblies. The latching assembly (500) has a latching actuator (110) movable between first and second positions. The latching assembly (500) locks the top (104) to the base (102) when the top (104) is in the closed position and the latching actuator (110) is in the first position and releases the top (104) from the base (102) when the latching actuator (110) is in the second position. The locking assembly has a lock actuator (801) having actuated and released positions. The top (104) is movable when the lock actuator (801) is in the actuated position. The locking assembly locking the top (104) in the open, closed, or an intermediate position when the lock actuator (801) is in the released position. The latching actuator (110) and the lock actuator (801) are operatively connected to the top (104) and move with the top (104) between the closed and the opened position.

An aircraft divan includes a lateral bracket connecting between front and rear legs with lateral bracket front and rear ends, a first track defined by the lateral bracket between the lateral bracket front and rear ends, an upright, having upright top and bottom ends, a second track defined by the upright between the upright top and bottom ends, a seat pan having seat pan front and rear ends, the seat pan being slidingly connected to the first track adjacent to the seat pan rear end, and a backrest having backrest top and bottom ends, the backrest being slidingly connected to the second track adjacent to the backrest top end. The seat pan rear end is pivotably connected to the backrest adjacent to the backrest bottom end such that movement of the seat pan is transmitted to the backrest so as to move together between upright and berth positions.
