A seat system for a passenger aircraft. The seat system includes a passenger seat frame (i) a plurality of spreader bars and (ii) a plurality of laterally extending spar tubes connecting the plurality of spreader bars to one another and at least one canted leg assembly connected to the seat frame for attachment to fixed, spaced apart attachment points on a supporting surface of the passenger aircraft. The canted leg assembly includes: (i) a front leg portion including a front joint clamp for receiving one of the plurality of laterally extending spar tubes in a non-perpendicular attachment point; and (ii) an aft leg portion including an aft joint clamp for receiving another one of the plurality of laterally extending spar tubes in a non-perpendicular attachment point, whereby the seat system is adapted to be laterally positioned and attached to provide different spaced apart passenger seating configurations. A seat back tray table may be attached to the back of the passenger seat frame.

The present application relates to securing a mattress within an aircraft including a pliable enclosure configured for enclosing a cushion including a fastener system for providing access to an interior of the pliable enclosure when the fastener system is in an open state and for restraining the mattress when the fastener system is in a closed state and wherein the pliable enclosure has a top surface and a bottom surface and a strapping system affixed to the bottom surface wherein the strapping system includes a strap extension affixed to the strapping system wherein the strap extension is configured to be received by a retention clip secured to a bed support platform.

A pallet hold-down system having a horizontal and vertical movement securement apparatuses and a method of using the system where a rotatable member is interconnected with a vertical and a horizontal movement securement apparatus such that rotation of the rotatable member simultaneously locks both the vertical and horizontal movement securement apparatuses to prevent horizontal and vertical pellet movements.

A seat skate assembly is configured to be secured to a fitting of a seat assembly. The seat skate assembly includes a pin-retaining guide including a plurality of pin cavities configured to receive and retain one or more pins of the fitting, one or more wheel couplers, and one or more wheel members rotatably coupled to the wheel coupler(s). The wheel member(s) allow the seat assembly to be moved.

A conventional passenger vehicle has a lower deck and an upper deck on both sides of its aisle to double its seating areas. Each deck has ceiling and seat heights about the same as that in sedans, and hence without substantially increasing the vehicle height. Both decks are divided into seating sections with partition walls, and in a seating section each deck contains only a row of power reclining seats. Each seat has a power footrest mounted separately on the partition wall in front of the seat for sitting comfort and forming a bed with the seat. The footrest can also be placed to higher elevations to use as a table for eating or working. The footrest is stored vertically to allow more leg room for the seat. In some section of the vehicle each seating section may mount two rows of sitting-only seats to increase the vehicle capacity.

A wheelchair securement system includes a first anchoring mechanism and a second anchoring mechanism. The first anchoring mechanism includes a first bar, a first set of seat track anchors, and a first set of adjustable strap anchors. The first bar extends between the first set of seat track anchors and is secured thereto. The first set of adjustable strap anchors is secured to the first bar, and the first set of adjustable strap anchors is configured to be securable to a wheelchair. The second anchoring mechanism includes a second bar, a second set of seat track anchors, and a second set of adjustable strap anchors. The second bar extends between the second set of seat track anchors and is secured thereto. The second set of adjustable strap anchors is secured to the second bar, and the second set of adjustable strap anchors is configured to be securable to the wheelchair.

A position detector for a passenger service unit which can be installed in a passenger service channel The position detector includes a sensor rail which has a multiplicity of sensors and is configured to be fitted in the longitudinal direction of the passenger service channel The position detector also includes a position marker which is configured to be fastened to the passenger service unit and to trigger a sensor signal at one of the multiplicity of sensors. A passenger service channel having a position detector and a vehicle area having a passenger service channel are also described.

A passenger seat includes a seat frame, a plurality of legs extending down from the seat frame where each of the plurality of legs includes an upper end attached to the seat frame and a lower end, and at least one tube attached to the lower end of at least one of the plurality of legs. The at least one tube includes at least two attachments to a floor structure. The at least one tube includes at least one bent portion.

A passenger seat includes a bottom support to be connected to the aircraft floor, a seat pan frame, and a support structure interconnecting the seat pan frame to the bottom support. A front support member defines a frontmost portion of the support structure, and has a top end connected to a front end of the seat pan frame and a bottom end connected to the bottom support. The front end of the seat pan frame is forwardly offset from a front end of the bottom support and the top end of the front support member is forwardly offset from its bottom end such that an empty space is defined across a width of the seat between the seat pan frame and the floor, forwardly of the support structure, forwardly of the bottom support, and rearwardly of a vertical plane aligned with the front end of the seat pan frame.

A fastening system for passenger seats in a vehicle cabin has two or more guide rails to be integrated into or onto a cabin floor, and a plurality of slides, to be brought into engagement with the guide rails and having a flange for connection to a passenger seat in order to retain the passenger seat on a guide rail. Each guide rail has a profile cross section, perpendicularly to a main axis of extent, having a base region and a supporting region. Each slide has a cavity of complementary design with the profile cross section. The guide rails have a plurality of transverse openings spaced apart from one another between the base region and the supporting region. At least one slide has a displaceably mounted retaining body which, when the slide is in engagement with the guide rail, can be brought into engagement with one of the transverse openings.
