A modal restraint system for an occupant of a seat of an aircraft having a mechanical failure sensor includes a strap feeder unit and a strap selectively retractable into and extendable from the strap feeder unit. The strap is positionable adjacent to the occupant. The strap feeder unit is adapted to switch between a plurality of modes including an unfixed mode and a fixed mode. The strap is extendable from and retractable into the strap feeder unit in the unfixed mode. The strap is substantially unextendable from the strap feeder unit in the fixed mode. The strap feeder unit is in the unfixed mode by default. The strap feeder unit is operable to switch to the fixed mode in response to a precautionary event including detection of an aircraft mechanical failure by the mechanical failure sensor, thereby reducing freedom of movement of the occupant relative to the seat.

Disclosed is a modular seat for aircraft. The system has a frame that is able to be interconnected with other frames laterally. Since each lateral frame has the same pivot points (when viewed from the side), the linked seats rotate together. The seats also include buckle lugs which enable a particular seat to be used on either side of the aircraft.

A modal restraint system for an occupant of a seat of an aircraft includes a strap feeder unit and a strap selectively retractable into and extendable from the strap feeder unit. The strap is positionable adjacent to the occupant so as to dispose the occupant between the strap and the seat. The strap feeder unit is adapted to switch between a plurality of modes including a fixed mode and an unfixed mode. The strap is substantially unextendable from the strap feeder unit in the fixed mode. The strap is extendable from and retractable into the strap feeder unit in the unfixed mode. The strap feeder unit is in the fixed mode by default. The strap feeder unit is operable to switch to the unfixed mode in response to a user input, thereby increasing freedom of movement of the occupant relative to the seat of the aircraft.

The safety barrier for aircraft seats is configured for use with a commercial aircraft. The commercial aircraft further comprises one or more seats. Each individual seat selected from the one or more seats further comprises an armrest. The individual seat is configured for use with by a client. The client sits in the individual seat. The safety barrier for aircraft seats is configured for use with the armrest. The safety barrier for aircraft seats comprises a knee shield and elbow parapet. The knee shield attaches to the armrest. The elbow parapet attaches to the armrest. The knee shield is a rotating barrier. The knee shield forms a barrier that prevents a knee of the client from entering the aisle of the commercial aircraft. The elbow parapet is a stationary barrier. The elbow parapet prevents the elbow of the client from entering the aisle of the commercial aircraft.

This invention relates to any field where crafts (such as avionics) where inhabitants of volumes like passage compartments can be found where the area is subject to extreme conditions such as explosion, fire or other traumatic activity linked with a crash, and more specifically a pressurized dual-compartment canister or anti-trauma apparatus for the storage, mixing, and blast-release of a neutralizing chemical compound within the environment of the volume in a craft placed adjacent to the volume for the blast release of a quickly expanding and quickly retracting product.

An aircraft passenger seat including decoupled seat back and seat bottom elements configured to be selectively positioned with respect to spaced seat elements to allow the seat to be used for seating or storage as desired. The passenger seat is convertible by repositioning the seat back and seat bottom elements to provide conventional forward-facing seating, face-to-face seating with a longitudinally aligned and adjacent seat, or seat storage as desired. The seat back and seat bottom elements track along a track assembly affixed along facing inboard sides of fixed seat elements such as arm rest assemblies.

A seat device with a seat, in particular a flight passenger seat, with a seat belt and with at least one functional unit which at least substantially differs from a functional opening and closing unit of the seat belt. The at least one functional unit is at least connected to the seat belt and/or is at least partly integrated in the seat belt.

A bus seat is provided. The bus seat includes a backrest frame having a curve in part and a lumbar support coupled to the backrest frame by the curve. The bus seat also includes a horizontal seat that is pivotable from a seat position, where a seat frame is locked onto a base frame, to a stowed position. The bus seat is provided in a modular configuration to allow multiple backrests to be used for the bus seat. The backrests may include changeable seat belt configurations and child restraint system configurations. The bus seat also includes a seat belt retractor having a vertical configuration and a horizontal configuration for retracting and extending the seat belt.

A stowable harness fan assembly for a low-back divan is disclosed. In embodiments, the stowable harness fan assembly includes one or more vertical support members, a horizontal support member, and a repositionable harness fan. The horizontal support member is coupled to the one or more vertical support members. The horizontal support member includes an opening and a pivot disposed at one end of the opening. The repositionable harness fan is coupled to the horizontal support member by the pivot and is at least partially disposed within the opening so that the repositionable harness fan can rotate between an open (e.g., raised) configuration and a closed (e.g., stowed) configuration with respect to the opening.
