Described are tray table tuning mechanisms for a passenger seat. The tray table tuning mechanisms can include a pivot limiting member, a paddle arm deployment member, an adjustment plate, and a paddle arm. The paddle arm deployment member and the adjustment plate may be pivoted relative to the pivot limiting member. The paddle arm can include at least one stop member and may be pivotably coupled to the paddle arm deployment member. Additionally, the paddle arm may be pivoted between a stowed state and a deployed state. In the deployed state, the stop member can abut a portion of the adjustment plate to limit rotation of the paddle arm deployment member in a first direction.

A movable close-out shroud suitably configured to substantially cover, partially block, or otherwise close out an articulating opening to a cavity, void, etc., of a first part, such as a passenger seat section. The close-out shroud is configured to move between a stored position and a close-out position.

In a passenger seating arrangement in an aircraft cabin, the passenger seating arrangement has exactly two rows of seat units and exactly one aisle. A first row of seat units and a second row of seat units are separated by the aisle. The rows of seat units and the aisle all extend in a longitudinal direction parallel to a longitudinal axis of the aircraft cabin. Each seat unit includes a seat, an upper shell and a lower shell, the lower shell forming a footwell. The seats are arranged in parallel to each other in a seating direction. An upper shell of a first seat unit and a lower shell of a second seat unit, which, viewed in the longitudinal direction, is arranged behind the first seat unit, partially overlap in a vertical direction.

An airplane seat device includes at least one functional unit that is configured at least for a locking, a controlling and/or a movement of at least one airplane seat element, wherein the functional unit includes at least one actuatable shape-memory element.

A table panel for an aircraft passenger seat, wherein the table panel comprises a panel component having two mutually opposite main sides, wherein the main sides are delimited by a component periphery having straight peripheral portions. The panel component has a multiplicity of mutually separated material clearances so that the panel component has a reduced mass in relation to a solid material panel that in terms of the thickness and the footprint area corresponds to the panel component and has an initial volume of the solid material, wherein the material clearances are in each case open in relation to the main side of the panel component, and wherein the sum of the volumes of all material clearances in the panel component result in a clearance volume of the panel component, wherein the clearance volume of the panel component is at least 20 percent of the initial volume.

The invention proposes an aircraft-passenger seat comprising a structural component on which a table top of the aircraft-passenger seat is mounted via an articulation arrangement such that it can be pivoted about a pivot axis of the articulation arrangement, so that the table top can be pivoted from an upright position of the table top, in which the latter has been swung up against the structural component, from a use position of the table top, in which the latter projects from the structural component, and back out of the use position into the upright position. According to the invention, the articulation arrangement comprises a damping device, which is designed to damp the pivoting movement of the table top between the upright position of the table top and the use position of the table top.

A holding assembly for holding portable electronic devices increases passenger convenience and comfort. The holding assembly comprises a plurality of independently movable planar members that engage one or more portable electronic devices to hold the portable electronic devices. The planar members may each be moved between a first position and a second position. A portion of the holding assembly may be received within an open portion of a planar member to provide a low-profile geometry. The holding assembly may be opened to hold a portable electronic device and closed when not in use in this manner.

A hygienic kit and a method thereof for a hygienic seat location including a stretchable antimicrobial hygienic headrest cover having an ability to conform itself to dimensions of the existing headrest. The cover comprises a stretchable, antimicrobial, a non-mesh fabric configured to provide an impenetrable barrier between a user and the headrest. The headrest has an elastic opening in the back surface allowing the fabric to stretchily fit over an existing headrest. A tray table cover defined by a top panel, a bottom panel, and a sidewall connecting said top and bottom panels thereby creating an opening to a cavity therein is included. A pre-packaged sanitizing wipe is included to sanitize the seating location, and a container is included to encapsulate the pre-packaged sanitizing wipe, the tray table cover, and the stretchable headrest cover, wherein the headrest cover and the tray table cover are compressed.

An aircraft passenger seat is proposed, comprising a structural component, on which a tray table of the aircraft passenger seat is held via a hinge assembly, the tray table being pivotable about a pivot axis of the hinge assembly. According to the invention, a connection assembly for detachably fitting the tray table on the structural component is provided, the connection assembly comprising an adjustment mechanism for adjusting a mounting position for the tray table relative to the structural component, the adjustment mechanism being designed such that the mounting position can be selected from a plurality of different mounting positions for the tray table relative to the structural component.

A passenger service unit is provided. The passenger service unit includes at least one projector configured to project an image onto one or more display surfaces, at least one sensor configured to indicate a current position of the one or more display surfaces, and a projector controller in communication with the at least one projector and the at least one sensor. The projector controller is programmed to receive a signal from the at least one sensor indicating a current position of a display surface and instruct the at least one projector to project at least one image onto the tray table based on the current position of the display surface.
