The front section may be configured to actuate relative to the rear section via the at least one hinge between a stowed position, a personal electronic device (PED) position, and a tray position. The cabin attendant aircraft tray table may be stowable in a cavity defined within a frame of a cabin attendant aircraft seat assembly when the front section is in the stowed position. The front section may be held in place relative to the rear section via a mechanical assembly when the front section is in the PED position, and may be configured to receive and support a PED when the front section is in the PED position.
Modular aircraft seatback cover attachment system
A modular seatback cover attachment system is disclosed. The modular seatback cover attachment system may include one or more trim caps including one or more tabs configured to reversibly couple the one or more trim caps to one or more portions of a seatback frame. The one or more tabs may include at least one of one or more hook tabs or one or more panel tabs. The modular seatback cover attachment system may include an interlocking assembly configured to interlock the one or more trim caps when the one or more trim caps are coupled to the seatback frame. The modular seatback cover attachment system may include a fastening assembly configured to couple the one or more trim caps to a portion of the dress cover.
DEPLOYABLE SEAT BOTTOM ASSEMBLY
A seat bottom assembly, movable between stowed and deployed configurations, includes a seat pan plate having a front side, a rear side, a left side, a right side, a top surface, and a bottom surface. The seat pan plate is configured to move between stowed and deployed positions. The assembly also includes a pair of beam braces configured to engage a seat frame of a seat; a pair of front links operationally connecting the beam braces and the seat pan plate; and a pair of rear links operationally connecting the beam braces and the seat pan plate. Each of the front links is disposed on an opposite side of the seat pan plate from the other front link; and each of the rear links is disposed on an opposite side of the seat pan plate from the other rear link. The assembly also includes a seat cushion having a first top portion, a second top portion, and a bottom portion. The bottom portion of the seat cushion is generally disposed on the top surface of the seat pan plate. The bottom portion of the seat cushion and the seat pan plate are equally inclined when the seat pan plate is in the stowed and deployed positions. The second top portion is generally horizontal when the seat bottom assembly is in the deployed configuration, and negatively inclined relative to horizontal when the seat bottom assembly is in the stowed configuration.
PINCH POINT FREE ROTATABLE AIRCRAFT ARMREST
An armrest assembly for seats on an aircraft includes a mount bracket and a leaf that is movable relative to the mount bracket. A hinge pin interacts with at least a portion of the mount bracket and the leaf. The leaf rotates about the hinge pin to raise and lower the armrest assembly.
AIRCRAFT MASK MONITORING SYSTEM
An aircraft mask monitoring system is provided, which includes a plurality of masks respectively corresponding to a plurality of seats in an aircraft. The masks are configured to deliver oxygen. Each mask includes at least one of a plurality of sensors, and each sensor is configured to detect an operational parameter of the respective mask as sensor data. The system further includes one or more processors configured to communicate with the sensors via a wired or wireless connection, receive the sensor data from the sensors, store the sensor data in an associated storage device, and process the sensor data using anomaly detection logic to generate a sensor data report. The sensor data report includes an anomaly state of at least one mask. The one or more processors are further configured to output the sensor data report for display on a client computing device.
ELECTRICAL POWER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING A PROFILE OF TEMPERATURE AS A FUNCTION OF ELECTRICAL POWER MADE AVAILABLE TO ELECTRICAL CONSUMERS
An electrical power distribution system with least one converter module having a converter to make electrical DC voltage power with adjustable maximum power values available on a multiplicity of electrical output interfaces of the converter module up to a maximum module power value and a temperature control apparatus having a temperature measuring apparatus. The temperature control apparatus is coupled upstream of the at least one converter module to adapt the maximum module power value of the at least one converter module as a function of the temperature of the power distribution system as measured by the temperature measuring apparatus. The temperature control apparatus is designed to create a profile of the temperatures measured by the temperature measuring apparatus as a function of the maximum power values made available by the converter.
Bench-back aircraft seat for aircraft passenger compartment suites
An aircraft seat for an aircraft passenger compartment suite may include a primary section with an upper actuatable portion and a lower actuatable portion. The primary section may be configured to actuate between a primary upright position and a primary lie-flat position. The aircraft seat may include an auxiliary section including an auxiliary seatback portion coupled to a privacy shell element of the aircraft passenger compartment suite and an auxiliary seat base portion configured to actuate between an auxiliary upright position and an auxiliary lie-flat position. The auxiliary seatback portion may include an actuatable element. The actuatable element may be configured to actuate between an open position and a closed position. The actuatable element may be configured to provide access to a stowage compartment when the actuatable element is in the open position.
Convertible lounge sofa and methods of use
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.
Aircraft interior structure including a surface and an integrated footwell
An aircraft interior structure may include a social area section including a surface. The social area section may be accessible from a floor area of an aircraft cabin. The aircraft interior structure may include a passenger seating section proximate to an aircraft seat. The passenger seating section may include a footwell. The aircraft interior structure may include a partition separating the passenger seating section and a first portion of the social area section. The footwell of the passenger seating section may be positioned underneath at least one of the partition or the surface of the social area section in a second portion of the social area section.
Actuatable door for an aircraft passenger suite
An actuatable door for an aircraft passenger suite may include a flexible privacy divider configured to actuate between a stowed divider position and a deployed divider position, a cartridge configured to actuate between a stowed cartridge position and a deployed cartridge position via at least one intermediate cartridge position, and a mechanism housed within the cartridge and configured to actuate the flexible privacy divider between the stowed divider position and the deployed divider position, where the flexible privacy divider may be at least partially stowed within the cartridge when in the stowed divider position.
