A receiving system for receiving of persons and objects for a cabin of a vehicle is proposed, the system comprising a seat frame having a plurality of receiving sections created on the seat frame for receiving of a seat unit each; a plurality of seat units, which are mountable on a receiving section each; and at least one stowage bin unit, which is mountable on one of the receiving sections. The stowage bin unit is dimensioned such that it is mountable on an outer one of the receiving sections in case on the remaining receiving sections a seat unit each is mounted.

Preferred embodiments relate to an amenity monument installed in the middle of a cabin space that absorbs “dead-space” in a seating layout while simultaneously providing features and amenities that are desirable to passengers. In preferred embodiments, this may substantially enhance the array of seating options and configurations available to an aircraft interior designer. In certain embodiments, the amenity monument may be equipped with dimmable panels that are set to a transparent condition during taxi, take-off and landing. During flight, the dimmable panels may be set to a translucent or opaque condition that provides privacy for the passenger utilizing the amenity monument as well as passengers seated nearby. In some embodiments, the monuments may provide enhanced amenities like curved, surround-view screens and which display gaming, advertising, multimedia and/or retail content.

The present disclosure relates to an aircraft stowage unit configured to provide a footwell for an adjacent seating unit.

An airplane passenger transport system that includes an airplane and a first passenger module. The first passenger module is removably positionable in the airplane. The first passenger module is adapted to transport at least one person in an at least partially enclosed configuration. The first passenger module includes at least one of a seat and a bed for the at least one person can sit while being transported in the airplane.

An aircraft monument for installation in an aircraft cabin. The aircraft monument comprises a movable side wall that is configured for separating the aircraft monument from a passenger area of the aircraft cabin, and that is configured for being moved. The aircraft monument further comprises at least one seat that is fastened to the movable side wall. Also disclosed is an aircraft area having a main aisle that extends along a longitudinal axis of an aircraft cabin, and having an aircraft monument situated next to the main aisle. Also disclosed is an aircraft that includes at least one aircraft area.

An illumination system includes: a seat; a wall; and a sleep control light for controlling sleep, wherein the seat includes a backrest and a seating portion, and makes a transition between a seated state and a lying state when the backrest and the seating portion make a slide movement, the seated state being a state where a minor angle formed between the backrest and the seating portion is a first angle, the lying state being a state where the minor angle is a second angle greater than the first angle, an optical axis of the sleep control light is tilted downward with respect to the horizontal plane, the sleep control light is located behind or above the seat when the seat is in the seated state, and the optical axis of the sleep control light passes through the backrest when the seat is in the lying state.

The invention relates to a passenger module (M) for a vehicle cabin (3), in particular an aircraft cabin, comprising two seats (1, 2) arranged between a first side element (FE) and a second side element (SE), wherein the first side element (FE) and the second side element (SE) extending parallel to each other, the seats (1, 2) are arranged substantially one behind another and facing substantially in a same direction, wherein a front seat (1) is positioned angled by a predefined first angle (α) around its vertical axis (sz) in a direction towards the first side element (FE), and
a rear seat (2) is positioned angled by a predefined second angle (β) around its vertical axis (sz′) in a direction towards the second side element (SE). Further, the invention relates to a passenger seating arrangement (PA) for a vehicle cabin (3).

Systems and methods for monitoring passenger activity in an aircraft cabin environment to predict immediate future passenger needs. The systems and methods make use of sensors positioned within an aircraft cabin environment configured to sense condition changes of objects corresponding to predetermined service issues, device(s) usable by the service crew indicating the sensed condition changes, and processing circuitry configured to receive sensor signals and indicate the condition changes through the device(s) such that the service crew is made aware of the condition changes requiring actions to be completed by the service crew to attend to the immediate future passenger needs.

A seat 100 moveable between a seat configuration and a bed configuration, the seat 100 comprising a squab 120 including upper and lower cushions 126, 124, a conversion mechanism configured to move the squab 120, for converting the seat 100 between the seat and bed configurations, and a backrest 122 connected to the squab 120 or conversion mechanism, for moving with the squab 120, the squab 120 being laterally displaceable by the conversion mechanism between a first position in the seat configuration and a second position in the bed configuration, and the backrest 122 being configured to occupy a space at an end of the squab 120 which is made available by lateral displacement of the squab 120 into the second position, and the upper cushion 126 of the squab 120 being movable relative to the lower cushion 124 for covering the backrest 122 in the bed configuration.

An aircraft cabin is provided. The aircraft cabin comprises a first seat unit and a second seat unit, the first and second seat units being in a first row of seat units and being separated by an aisle. The cabin comprises a partition movable between a stowed position and a deployed position in which the partition is positioned at least partially in the aisle between the first and second seat units thereby at least partially blocking the aisle. The cabin further comprises an item of furniture movable between a stowed position and a deployed position in which the item of furniture is positioned in the aisle between the first and second seat units.
