A system may include a vehicular seat assembly including first and second seat support beams, a seat pan, a bar, a fabric seat back, and at least one detachable attachment means. The fabric seat back may have a first end and a second end. The fabric seat back may be secured at the first end to the bar. The fabric seat back may have an expandable seat back section secured at the second end to the seat pan. Each detachable attachment means may be secured at a first detachable attachment means end to the seat pan and may be secured at a second detachable attachment means end to a portion of the fabric seat back located between the first end and the second detachable attachment means end. When all detachable attachment means are in the detached state, an effective length of the fabric seat back may extend.

An aircraft seat assembly including stanchions defining elongated guide channels and elongated motion sleds nested in the guide channels and affixed to a seat bucket. An energy absorber implemented as a wire bender assembly is coupled between the stanchions and the motion sled. In use, the elongated guide channels guide motion of the motion sleds and the wire bender assemblies attenuate energy during a dynamic event exceeding a predetermined threshold load value. The elongated interface between the guide channels and motion sleds serve to transfer excessive loading to the seat frame thereby protecting the seat assembly from damage and the occupant from excessive lumbar spinal loads.

A stowable seat is provided. The stowable seat may comprise a housing and a first track coupled to the housing. A backrest may be slidably coupled to the first track. A seat pan may be rotatable relative to the backrest. A second track may be in operable communication with the seat pan. An angle between the seat pan and the second track may increase as the seat pan translates away from the housing.

A collapsible backrest may include a cover and a back panel retained within a first compartment of the cover. A base panel flexibly coupled to the back panel and retained within a second compartment of the cover with the central panel and the base panel defining a notch. A central panel may be flexibly coupled to the base panel and retained within a third compartment of the cover. An end panel may also be flexibly coupled to the central panel and retained within a fourth compartment of the cover. The central panel and the end panel define a cavity. The base panel, the central panel, and the end panel form a triangular support structure in a deployed position. The base panel, the central panel, and the end panel may also be arranged end-to-end and substantially parallel to the back panel in a stowed position.

A mount assembly for mounting a cabin attendant seat to a support structure may comprise a first strap configured to plastically deform in response to a deflection of the support structure. The first strap may comprise a first perforation, a second perforation, and a third perforation located between the first perforation and the second perforation. The perforations may be configured to allow the strap to plastically deform.

A cover panel for a core panel of a structural aircraft component includes a protection cover having an outer shape corresponding to the outer shape of the core panel and including at least one cutout aperture, and at least one fabric panel mounted to the protection cover and covering the at least one cutout aperture.

A vehicular seating suite configuration may include a plurality of vertically stacked seating suites configured to be positioned within a vehicle. Each seating suite may include an elongated generally horizontal seating surface angled away from a longitudinal axis of a vehicle and a generally vertical backrest portion adjacent to a proximal end of the elongated generally horizontal seating surface. The elongated generally horizontal seating surface and the generally vertical backrest portion may be configured to accommodate a person in a sitting position and the elongated generally horizontal seating surface may be configured to accommodate a person in a lying position.

A crew attendant seat assembly configured to be installed in an aircraft cabin and including a seat including a seat bottom hinged to a seatback to rotate between a stowed position and a deployed position, a spring member mountable to a static structure adjacent the and to an adjustable aperture on the hinge, the spring having two mounting positions, a harness mounted to the seat for restraining a seated passenger including a shoulder strap and a lap belt, and a storage area for retaining at least one of the lap belt and the buckle when the seat bottom is stowed, wherein at least one of the lap belt and the buckle are enclosed by the crew attendant seat assembly when the seat bottom is stowed.

Brackets for attaching objects to surfaces are described. One bracket includes a first leg that is attachable to the surface and a second leg that is attachable to the object. The object-facing side includes a slot extending through an object facing-side of the second leg. The slot is configured to receive a fastener for attaching the second leg to the object. Along a length of the slot, a width of the slot tapers from a first width at a first position along the length of the slot to a second width at a second position along the length of the slot. The second width is narrower than the first width. Methods for attaching objects to surfaces are also described.
