A reversible seat assembly for use with an airplane. The reversible seat comprises a base assembly and a vertical assembly. The base assembly and the vertical assembly are connected to a support structure and are collectively disposable into and out of a first travel position, a second travel position, and a third travel position. In the first and second travel positions a user or passenger may assume a usual sitting position. In the third travel position the user may assume a reverse sitting position. The base assembly comprises a right segment and a left segment connected and rotationally movable to a central segment. The vertical assembly comprises a lower segment and an upper segment connected to and rotationally movable a middle segment. The reversible seat assembly may further comprise a back armrest connected to an opposite side of said middle segment and structure to provide support to the arms of the user.

An aircraft passenger seat construction capable of in-flight rocking motion and berthing, wherein rocking motion and berthing are mutually exclusive features. The seat construction includes a fixed frame including spaced frame members each having a support surface to be rocked on, a rocking frame including a seat pan and spaced rockers, the spaced rockers positioned to rock on the support surfaces, guides carried on the spaced rockers engaged to travel within guide slots of the spaced frame members, a backrest pivotally attached to the rocking frame, and a leg rest pivotally attached to the rocking frame. The rocking frame may rock back-and-forth in-flight or may be locked at any given position based on passenger preference. The seat construction is compatible with or without other seat adjustment mechanisms such as tracking, swivel, lie-flat and recline adjustment mechanisms.

A seat configured to support an occupant may include a urine-based power generator and an adjustable cushion. The urine-based power generator includes a urine accumulation reservoir configured to receive urine from the occupant, and the urine-based power generator is configured to provide power to the adjustable cushion. The seat may be an ejection seat, and the urine-based power generator and the adjustable cushion may be mounted to the seat such that the urine-based power generator and the adjustable cushion are configured to be ejected with the ejection seat.

The aircraft seat dress covers with massage features are tailored specifically to provide more comfortable flight experience and accommodate unique airline seat requirements.

Massage system include encapsulated vibration motors with massage functions to provide a relaxation massage that can help alleviate sore and tight muscles, improve circulation, and relieve tension during a few hours flight.

Alternatively, the aircraft seat covers can have a heat massage therapy as well. The seat massage system is equipped with overheating protection system and auto shut off timer for safe use.

An aircraft cabin is provided. The aircraft cabin comprises a first row of seat units extending across the cabin between a first outboard sidewall of the cabin and a second opposite outboard sidewall of the cabin, a first aisle extending along the cabin, and a second aisle extending along the cabin. The first row of seats units comprises a first seat unit, a second seat unit, a third seat unit and no further seat units. The first aisle is positioned adjacent the first outboard sidewall and separates the first outboard sidewall and the first seat unit, the second seat unit is positioned adjacent the first seat unit, and the third seat unit is spaced apart from the second seat unit by the second aisle, the third seat unit being positioned adjacent the second outboard sidewall. The first row of seat units further comprises a privacy screen movable between a stowed position and a deployed position in which the privacy screen provides a barrier at least partially partitioning the first seat unit and second seat unit.

The present invention provides airlines with the track-based elevated seat arrangement for an improved passenger comfort and hence improved revenue. In our track-based elevated seat arrangement design, the multiple seating configurations and mixed class are proposed in a given cabin class of a passenger airplane. It effectively uses the vertical space of the given interior space of the given cabin class and can bring a new level of comfort and fresh flying experience to the passengers in that cabin class.

An exercise device includes an elastic cable, a panel, and a spindle coupled to an interior side of the panel. The spindle has a locked state and an unlocked state, the spindle being rotatable in a first direction to wind the elastic cable and being rotatable in a second direction to unwind both ends of the elastic cable when the spindle is in the unlocked state, and the spindle being non-rotatable when the spindle is in the locked state. A first stirrup is coupled to a first end of the elastic cable, and a second stirrup is coupled to a second end of the elastic cable.

A seat bottom assembly, movable between stowed and deployed configurations, includes a seat pan plate having a front side, a rear side, a left side, a right side, a top surface, and a bottom surface. The seat pan plate is configured to move between stowed and deployed positions. The assembly also includes a pair of beam braces configured to engage a seat frame of a seat; a pair of front links operationally connecting the beam braces and the seat pan plate; and a pair of rear links operationally connecting the beam braces and the seat pan plate. Each of the front links is disposed on an opposite side of the seat pan plate from the other front link; and each of the rear links is disposed on an opposite side of the seat pan plate from the other rear link. The assembly also includes a seat cushion having a first top portion, a second top portion, and a bottom portion. The bottom portion of the seat cushion is generally disposed on the top surface of the seat pan plate. The bottom portion of the seat cushion and the seat pan plate are equally inclined when the seat pan plate is in the stowed and deployed positions. The second top portion is generally horizontal when the seat bottom assembly is in the deployed configuration, and negatively inclined relative to horizontal when the seat bottom assembly is in the stowed 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.

A mechanically actuatable structural assembly, which may be utilized in a seating system, includes a base support layer, a buckling layer coupled to and overlying the base support layer, and a movable slider between the base support layer and the buckling layer. The buckling layer has an elastically deformable buckling arch element, and the movable slider is coupled to the buckling arch element to actuate the buckling arch element. When the movable slider is in an extended state, the elastically deformable buckling arch element is unloaded or preloaded to maintain a relaxed shape. When the movable slider is in a retracted state, the elastically deformable buckling arch element is subjected to compressive axial loading that causes the elastically deformable buckling arch element to buckle outwardly into a loaded arch shape.
