Flame protection fabric for vehicle seats, in particular for aircraft seats
Disclosed is a flame protection fabric provided for vehicle cushions, in particular for aircraft cushions, the flame protection fabric including the following layers: at least one first abrasion-resistant layer as an abrasion layer including at least one textile material with high abrasion resistance of at least one fiber type, and at least one second layer as a barrier layer including at least one fibrous fleece of at least one flame-proof fiber type. The at least one abrasion layer is provided as a first layer on at least one side of the at least one barrier layer as a second layer.
AIRCRAFT SEAT SYSTEMS
An aircraft has a seat that has at least one of (1) a nonplanar back surface profile and a touch sensitive film display system carried by the seat and configured to conform to the nonplanar back surface profile and (2) a privacy screen selectively stowed within an interior of the seat. An aircraft has a pilot seat, a passenger seat disposed aft relative to the pilot seat, and a holographic display system configured to project a holographic image in a space between the pilot seat and the passenger seat.
Aircraft with crew quarters
An aircraft is disclosed with a fuselage including a cabin delimited by a cabin floor and having crew quarters. The crew quarters include an upper portion above a floor plane defined by the cabin floor and a lower portion beneath the floor plane. The crew quarters include a seat adjustable between a sitting configuration and a berthing configuration. A method of transitioning a crew member of an aircraft to a berthing configuration in a crew quarters is also disclosed.
Seat fittings for attaching seats to seat tracks in a vehicle and related systems and methods
Seat fittings for attaching seats to seat tracks in a vehicle and related systems and methods are described herein. An example seat fitting includes a body having a bottom surface to face a seat track, a locking stud, and a solenoid disposed in the body. The solenoid is operable to move the locking stud between a retracted position in which the locking stud is disposed in the body and an extended position in which the locking stud extends outward from the bottom surface of the body and into the seat track.
COCKPIT CENTER CONSOLE ARMREST
A cockpit center console armrest includes a base member configured for mounting to a floor, an extending member mechanically coupled to the base member, and an armrest mechanically coupled to the extending member. The extending member includes an inner telescoping member configured for sliding within an outer telescoping member for adjusting a height of the armrest. A lever exposed on an underside of the armrest is configured for actuating a release mechanism. The release mechanism is configured for releasably securing the inner telescoping member to the outer telescoping member. A pivot axis pivotably couples the extending member to the base member such that the extending member is rotatable for rotating the armrest between a deployed orientation and a retracted orientation.
Airline Seat Child Canopy
A system and method for providing a child canopy for an economy and premium economy airline seat is disclosed. The apparatus is comprised of a light weight, flexible, canopy with mesh windows that is detachably-affixed to existing seats. A lower portion of said canopy is attached to a seat back tray table and an upper portion is connected to a seat back or a seat back head rest. An object of the invention is to provide privacy and limit distraction to a child passenger at rest in an economy airline seat.
Butterfly leafs for economy seat middle handle
A stowable armrest extension rotates or translates from the armrest and deploys into one or more horizontal extensions. Linking elements connect the movement of various components to direct, restrict, and automate deployment. A central column may isolate the butterfly leafs to prevent incidental contact between neighboring passengers. An actuator may apply a force to deploy the stowable armrest extension, either when a release is activated or when a top cap is moved.
Supplemental oxygen assemblies
A supplemental oxygen assembly for a vehicle can include a container and a flow assembly attached to and/or configured to be contained within the container in a stowed position and to extend from the container in a deployed position. The flow assembly can be configured to be connected to an oxygen supply to supply oxygen to a person in the deployed position. The supplemental oxygen assembly can include an extension device connected to the flow assembly. The extension device can be configured to extend or allow extension of the flow assembly toward an aisle of the vehicle to aid the flow assembly in being reached from or moveable toward an aisle of the vehicle by a person in the aisle.
Modular leg assembly for passenger seat
Described are modular leg assemblies for passenger seats. The modular leg assemblies can include a universal first leg member, a universal second leg member, a size specific member, and a universal seat frame tube receptor. The universal first leg member may be coupled to a first seat track fitting. The universal second leg member may be coupled to a second seat track fitting. The size specific member may be coupled to the universal first leg member and to the universal second leg member. At least one of the universal second leg member or the universal seat frame tube receptor can include a set of attachment points for coupling the universal seat frame tube receptor to the universal second leg member.
Aircraft seat power via inductive coupling
A wireless power delivery system for aircraft seats includes an NFC power receiving device disposed at a known location proximal to floor rail bracket engaging portion of the seat, and an NFC power delivery device engages a corresponding bracket disposed underneath the aircraft floor. The brackets are aligned to each other to ensure the disposition of the NFC power delivery device is sufficiently close to the NFC power receiving device to effectively transfer power. The NFC power delivery device is disposed in a cargo container. Bracket engaging elements in the seat rows include features that indicate a location on a lower bracket to align the NFC power receiving device to the NFC power delivery device.
