The width of the back support being such that, when two back supports are placed adjacent, the gap between adjacent sides is minor. The convertible armrest having a design which allows the armrest to pivot downward, from a first or deployed position, to a second or stowed position.

An airplane seat sleeping device for providing a forwardly inclining head support that is attached or attachable to an adjacently proceeding vehicle seat, which has a seatback. The device includes a seatback attachment mechanism configured to be attachable to the seatback of the adjacently proceeding vehicle seat; a pillow support member; an intermediate member connecting the seatback attachment mechanism to the pillow support member; and a pillow support/receiving holding mechanism.

A seatback for a passenger seat, a passenger seat, and a method of manufacturing a seatback for a passenger seat. The seatback comprises an upwardly extending base having a front and a rear, the front capable of supporting a passenger; a pocket attached to the rear; a tray table attached to the rear and operable between a stowage position and a use position; and wherein the rear has a longitudinal length and a transverse width, with the tray table, when in the stowage position, being at least partly transversely aligned with pocket.

A touch table body structure is provided, which includes a first bearing module, a second bearing module and a plurality of support modules. One surface of the first bearing module is provided with a touch display assembly. One end of the second bearing module is pivotally connected to one end of the first bearing module. One end of each of the plurality of support modules is pivotally connected to two sides of a Chair back of a seat and the other end of each of the plurality of support modules is pivotally connected to two sides of the first bearing module, respectively. The touch display assembly disposed on the first bearing module is provided to connect with an external electronic device, such that the user can input word, numeric, symbol, and so on to the external electronic device by touching a keyboard displayed on the display assembly.

A monitor stop system is disclosed. The system may include a top-tilting monitor. The system may also include a monitor shroud including a tab configured to prevent the monitor from actuating to the deployed position during an HIC event. The system may further include one or more monitor stop devices. Each monitor stop device may include a spring-loaded pin assembly and a housing configured to surround at least a portion of the spring-loaded assembly. The tab may be configured to translate towards an interior surface of the seatback bezel and may be configured to cause the pin to translate through one or more monitor stop openings of the seatback bezel. Upon the pin translating, the pin may be configured to capture at least a portion of the top-tilting monitor to prevent the top-tilting monitor from actuating to the deployed position during the HIC event.

Described is a passenger seat assembly that may include a seat back including a rearward surface, a seat shroud positioned proximate to the rearward surface of the seat back and fixedly coupled to a seat frame, wherein the seat shroud remains stationary as the seat back moves between a stowed position and a deployed position, and at least one moveable shroud member coupled to the seat shroud at an attachment point and positioned proximate a rearward surface of the seat shroud, wherein a location of the attachment point is adjustable.

A seat back tray table that includes an arm assembly attached to a seat having a seat back, and moveable between a stowed position and a deployed, use position, a first table segment carried by the arm assembly and moveable with the arm assembly between a stowed position against a stowage area of the seat back and a deployed position aft of the stowage area, and a second table segment carried by the first table segment and moveable between a stored position within the stowage area of the seat back and a deployed position laterally-extended from the first table segment to increase the total surface area of the tray table.

Curved seatback monitors or display screens, and associated systems, devices, and methods for providing wide view display monitor technology on a commercial passenger vehicle are disclosed herein. An in-flight entertainment and communication (IFEC) system can be installed on a passenger vehicle having an aisle, window seats along a first side of the aisle, and center seats along a second side of the aisle. In some embodiments, the IFEC system includes a plurality of display screens positioned in front of corresponding ones of the seats. Each display screen can include a first portion having a first curvature radius and a second portion having a second curvature radius greater than the first curvature radius. The second portions of the display screens can be positioned closer to the aisle than the first portions. The curved display screens and the arrangement thereof are expected to improve passenger experience.

A wall for backrest of aircraft seats includes a the first storage compartment can house a monitor and have two lateral portions including an upper portion and a lower portion; a hinge with a rotational rigidity; a table having a main plane and one end bound to the wall by the hinge, and a second storage compartment arranged at a lateral portion of the first storage compartment. The wall further includes a lateral guide arranged in correspondence with the lower portions of the two storage compartments. The hinge is constrained to slide on the lateral guide. In a first closed configuration the table is arranged inside the second storage compartment to form a single continuous rear surface. In a second open configuration, the table is arranged transversely to the rear surface of the wall free to translate along the lateral guide.

Described are video monitor assemblies (10) including a bezel assembly (16) coupled to a passenger seatback (12), wherein the bezel assembly includes a monitor (30) and a bezel (28), the monitor coupled to the bezel via low load fasteners (44) and high load fasteners (46), wherein the low load fasteners (44) are configured to fail or shear from a force applied to the monitor (30) during a head impact, and the high load fasteners (46) are configured to withstand the force applied to the monitor during the head impact.
