A vehicle includes an internal cabin, a first group of seats within a first row within the internal cabin, a second group of seats within a second row within the internal cabin, and an air curtain system within the internal cabin. The air curtain system is configured to provide one or more air curtains between one or both of (a) the first row and the second row or (b) adjacent seats of one or both of the first group or the second group.

An isolation system for a galley monument includes a galley monument wall including a pocket and defining at least one entry-way. At least one panel is movably received in the pocket. The panel is configured and adapted to move relative to the pocket between at least one of open position and or closed position.

One embodiment of a seating arrangement of a transportation vehicle includes at least two rows of upper-level seats in a first zone extending a longitudinal direction, a left row of lower-level seats in a second zone on the left of the upper-level seats, and a right row of lower-level seats in a third zone on the right side of the upper-level seats, with the seats arranged either in an acute or an obtuse angle relative to the longitudinal direction, and with the upper-level seats and the lower-level seats being staggered. In the embodiment, the three zones are substantially isolated from one another. For example, going from one zone to the next, a person can go through a door, and each zone can have its substantially separate air ventilation system. In another embodiment, each of the second and the third zones includes single-level seats, with at least an aisle between the single-level seats and the corresponding lower-level seats. The transportation vehicle can be a plane.

A vehicle seat including: a seat back; a seat pan; and one or more side support elements is disclosed. Each side support element is moveable with respect to the seat back between: a stowed configuration, in which the side support element is stowed flush with, or is stowed within or behind the seat back; and a deployed configuration, in which the side support element extends outwardly from the seat back, generally in the same direction that the seat back faces, so as to offer support to the side of a vehicle user sitting in the vehicle seat. A row of two or more such vehicles seats is also disclosed, in which all of the seats of the row face in the same direction, and adjacent seats within the row are connected to each other.

The present invention relates to an aircraft cabin having a longitudinal axis and comprising at least one aisle and an arrangement of seat units, a seat unit comprising, in particular, a seat provided with a base and a backrest as well as a foot area, the seat being movable between a sitting position and a lying position, the arrangement of seat units comprising: at least one rear group of two seat units, at least one front group of two seat units, each group of two seat units comprising a seat unit arranged on the side of the aisle and referred to as the “aisle-side seat unit” and a seat unit arranged on the side of a window and referred to as the “window-side seat unit”, each seat of a group of seat units having an axis forming a non-zero angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the aircraft cabin, such that the seats of each group are facing the aisle, a first passage for accessing the aisle associated with the window-side seat unit of the rear group extending between the foot area and the seat of the aisle-side seat unit of the rear group, and a second passage for accessing the aisle associated with the window-side seat unit of the rear group extending between the aisle-side seat unit of the front group and the foot area of the aisle-side seat unit of the rear group.

Described are examples of a seating arrangement for an aircraft with a first seat in a first accommodation space and a second seat in a second accommodation space, wherein the first and second accommodation spaces are configured to share a common floor space at a floor level of the aircraft. One seating arrangement includes a divider screen located between the first and second accommodation spaces, moveable, by sliding in a direction along the common floor space, between a stowed position permitting passenger egress between the first and second accommodation spaces across the common floor space, and a deployed position preventing passenger egress between the first and second accommodation spaces across the common floor space.

The present disclosure provides a method for changing passenger seating angle according to an aircraft flight mode utilizing a racked passenger seat configuration in which the seat angle relative to an aircraft longitudinal axis increases as the passenger seat transitions from an upright condition to a reclined condition. Such a passenger seat may be utilized in an aircraft passenger seating arrangement to maximize seating density while complying with defined taxi, takeoff and landing (TTOL) certification criteria for oblique seats, among other applications and benefits.

An implementation of a contoured class divider for dividing an aircraft cabin includes a panel positioned between an aft seat and a forward seat, the panel having an aft-facing convex contour closely matching an aft-facing contour of a seatback of the forward seat and configured to enhance space utilization. The contoured class divider may include an articulation system to articulate at least a portion of the panel from a first position (normal operation) to a second position (emergency landing). The contoured class divider may provide up to an additional 12 inches of space which can be used to reduce seat pitch (and thereby enhance passenger comfort) or increase the number of rows of seats on a given aircraft.

Examples provide a door assembly including a sliding door carrier unit having a disengagement mechanism for utilization within a vehicle cabin. The door assembly includes a sliding door movably mounted to a door support member of a seat unit. The door slides laterally between a fully retracted position and a deployed or partially deployed position. A decoupling latch is engaged to detach the sliding door from one or more slide units on the door support member. An auxiliary slide device includes at least one guide and guide profile to support the door and enable the door to return to the retracted position after the door is decoupled from the slide unit in a backup operational mode. The decoupling mechanism enables a user to return the sliding door to a fully retracted position after a failure of the slide units to operate in a normal operational mode.

A double bench seat for transport craft passengers is disclosed having a sitting configuration and a lying configuration, and including a substantially vertical shell surrounding two independent twin seats. The two twin seats are oriented along the longitudinal axis of the aircraft, the two twin seats each assume, independently of one another, at least one chair-like position and one bed-like position, the two twin seats include a backrest and a seat, in the bed-like position, the two twin seats are extended by an extension. When the double bench seat is in the lying configuration, the two twin seats are in the bed-like position and arranged to be at the same height and to form a continuous horizontal surface with a width and length adapted to form a double bed that can accommodate two lying persons.
