An aircraft passenger compartment suite may include a privacy shell element proximate to an aircraft seat installed within the aircraft passenger compartment suite. The privacy shell element may include a first section configured to conform to a primary section of the aircraft seat, and a second section configured to conform to an auxiliary section of the aircraft seat. The privacy shell element may include a first profile configured to conform with the aircraft seat when the aircraft seat is in a first position, and a second profile configured to conform with the aircraft seat when the aircraft seat is in a second position. The second profile of the privacy shell element may be configured to occupy a greater amount of passenger aircraft living space surrounding the aircraft passenger compartment suite than an amount of passenger aircraft living space occupied by the first profile of the privacy shell element.

The invention relates to a passenger module for a vehicle cabin, the passenger module comprising a first side element, a second side element and two seats arranged between the first side element and the second side element; wherein the first side element and the second side element extending parallel to each other; the seats are arranged substantially one behind another and facing substantially in a same direction; wherein a front seat is positioned angled by a predefined first angle around its vertical axis in a direction towards the first side element; a rear seat is positioned angled by a predefined second angle around its vertical axis in a direction towards the second side element and an aisle of the vehicle cabin.

A passenger protection module for use inside an aircraft or other commercial carrier, the passenger protection module comprising an enclosure releasably installed inside an aircraft, at least one passenger seat installed inside the enclosure, a doorway providing passenger ingress into and egress from the enclosure, and a supply of treated and purified air flowing through the enclosure at a positive pressure relative to air outside the enclosure.

A layout of passenger seats in an aircraft cabin including a first passenger seat positioned in a forward-facing direction and parallel to an aircraft longitudinal axis, and a second passenger seat positioned to one side of the first passenger seat, in a forward-facing direction, and at an angle with respect to the aircraft longitudinal axis, wherein the second passenger seat is angled toward the first passenger seat.

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.

An aircraft passenger compartment suite may include a privacy shell element proximate to an aircraft seat installed within the aircraft passenger compartment suite. The privacy shell element may include a first section configured to conform to a primary section of the aircraft seat, and a second section configured to conform to an auxiliary section of the aircraft seat. The privacy shell element may include a first profile configured to conform with the aircraft seat when the aircraft seat is in a first position, and a second profile configured to conform with the aircraft seat when the aircraft seat is in a second position. The second profile of the privacy shell element may be configured to occupy a greater amount of passenger aircraft living space surrounding the aircraft passenger compartment suite than an amount of passenger aircraft living space occupied by the first profile of the privacy shell element.

An ottoman for an aircraft passenger seat is disclosed. In one or more embodiments, the ottoman may include a base. The ottoman may include a frame. The ottoman may include a shell. The ottoman may include a resting surface. The ottoman may include an actuation assembly. The actuation assembly is configured to actuating the resting surface from a first actuation position relative to the base. The ottoman may include an attachment surface. The attachment surface provides and anchor point for the actuation assembly.

An in-seat mini-bar assembly, apparatus and method of manufacture is provided. The assembly includes a housing that is insertable into a compartment of the seating module and includes a container with an interior cavity that is conductively cooled by thermo-electric elements of a micro-chiller unit mounted on a conductive rear plate that forms an exterior side of the container. A vent is configured proximate to a front section of the housing to receive outside air forward of the housing for channeling the outside air to a rear section of the housing using a duct attached to the vent at the front section. The duct is shaped for a fluidic intake of the outside air by a frontal flange having a wide cross-sectional area that is gradually tapered to a circular cross-sectional area to direct the airflow in a uniform manner.

The aircraft seat unit includes a first seat 13, a second seat 14, an intermediate portion 15 disposed between the first seat 13 and the second seat 14, and a front wall 11 adjacent to the intermediate portion 15. An axis line X1 of the first seat 13 and an axis line X2 of the second seat 14 are respectively disposed at angles that are oriented in mutually opposite directions with respect to a traveling direction. The intermediate portion 15 id disposed in a space between the first set and the second seat and is capable of supporting a load of a bassinet 30 placed thereon. The front wall 11 includes engagement holes 11e that detachably engage with engagement portions 32 of the bassinet 30.

An aircraft passenger seat arrangement such as a business seating class arrangement including a plurality of passenger seat groups positioned adjacent a longitudinal aisle, each passenger seat group including an inboard seat and an outboard seat angled toward the longitudinal aisle, with the inboard seat angle being greater than the outboard seat angle to improve access to the outboard seat along a branch aisle extending from the longitudinal aisle forward of the inboard seat to a forward end of the outboard seat, as well as reducing seat pitch between longitudinally adjacent inboard and outboard seats with at least equivalent seat egress.
