Described are recliner sofa systems for a passenger seat. The passenger seat includes a seat back assembly and a seat base assembly. The seat back assembly includes an upper back support and a lower back support, and the lower back support is movable relative to the upper back support between a stowed position and a deployed position. The seat base assembly includes a support and a seat base, and the seat base is movable relative to the support between a stowed position and a deployed position. The seat base in the deployed position and the lower back support in the deployed position together define a foot cavity configured to receive a foot of a passenger.

A headrest frame for a seat is disclosed. In various embodiments, the headrest frame includes a main body portion having a stowed length; a top portion configured to assume a stowed position and a deployed position with respect to the main body portion, the deployed position defining a deployed length greater than the stowed length; and a deployment mechanism configured to urge the top portion into the deployed position from the stowed position.

The rotation device includes means for locking the seat in extreme angular positions, comprising a movable abutment carried by the seat, and interacting with a complimentary fixed abutment when the seat is in one of its extreme angular positions. The movable abutment may be moved between a locked position in which it abuts the fixed abutment, and an unlocked position in which it is above the fixed abutment. The device has a means for unlocking the seat, wherein it comprises at least one pneumatic control member and pneumatic means for driving the movable abutment from its locked position to its unlocked position when the control member is actuated.

Travel sleeping aids for assisting a seated traveler to sleep in a forward leaning seated position toward a passenger seat in front of the seated traveler, the passenger seat having a headrest. In one implementation, a travel sleeping aid includes a U-shaped head support having a face contoured aperture for supporting the seated traveler's head in a forward leaning seated position and a support structure rotatable with respect to the U-shaped head support between a storage position flush with the U-shaped head support and a head support position generally perpendicular to the U-shaped head support. In another embodiment, a hanging travel sleeping aid includes a generally rectangular shaped head support having a passenger seat headrest pocket for being snugly placed on a passenger seat's headrest in front of a seated traveler and a head support panel for supporting the seated traveler's head in his forward leaning seated position.

An air conditioning seat configured to blow temperature-adjusted air and including: a seat including a seat cushion and a seat back; a lateral member which is provided along the seated person seated on the seat on a lateral side of the seated person; a first air duct which is provided in the lateral member and is configured to guide the temperature-adjusted air towards the seated person; and a first air outlet from which the temperature-adjusted air is configured to be blown out from first the air duct, wherein the temperature-adjusted air is configured to be directed and blown out towards at least one of a knee and a lower leg portion of a leg of the seated person through the first air outlet, the at least one of the knee and the lower leg portion being positioned on a front side than a front end of the seat cushion.

This disclosure includes armrests having one or more laminates and methods and kits for making the same. Some armrests include an elongated beam extending between a first end and a second end, the elongated beam having one or more laminates configured to be disposed along the elongated beam, each including a plurality of fibers dispersed within a matrix material, and a reinforcing structure having a plurality of ribs, the reinforcing structure configured to be coupled to the one or more laminates, where the first end of the elongated beam is configured to be pivotally coupled to a mount. In some armrests, the one or more laminates are configured to be disposed along the elongated beam such that the one or more laminates define a channel and/or an arch extending between the first and second ends.

A passenger seat module in which one or more of the modules can be installed in the cabin of a vehicle, such as an airplane, train, bus, automobile, etc. The passenger seat module includes a passenger seat, such as an adjustable reclining seat. A movable console having a table top is positioned in front of the seat and is slidably coupled to at least one rail mounted in the floor of the vehicle or to the module. The rail extends from the front of the module to about proximate the front portion of the seat, such that the console is slidable along the rail between the front of the module and a position just in front of the seat. The video monitor may be liftable substantially vertically through an opening in the table between a stowed position below the table to a viewing position above the table.

An armrest table has an armrest casing, a frontward-moving stand, an upward-moving stand, and at least one table panel. The frontward-moving stand is front and rear movably mounted in the armrest casing. The table panel is up and down moveably mounted in the frontward-moving stand. The table panel can be rotated to be horizontal when moved to a highest position of its movement route. The frontward-moving stand and the table panel can be received in the armrest casing when the table panel is moved to a lowest position of its movement route. The armrest table is mounted beside the seat, and thus the passenger can adjust the height of the table panel.

The rotation device (10) comprises means for locking the seat in extreme angular positions, comprising a movable abutment (23) carried by the seat (8), and interacting with a complementary fixed abutment (25) when the seat is in one of its extreme angular positions. The movable abutment (23) may be moved between a locked position in which it abuts the fixed abutment (25), and an unlocked position in which it is above the fixed abutment (25). The device (10) comprises means for unlocking the seat, wherein it comprises at least one pneumatic control member and pneumatic means (30) for driving the movable abutment (23) from its locked position to its unlocked position when the control member is actuated.
