Components and systems of an aircraft seating assembly are disclosed. The aircraft seating assembly can include an adjustable headrest that allows the headrest to be translated and/or rotated relative to a seat, a storage sleeve, and/or a spreader. The aircraft seating assembly can include an energy absorption system. The energy absorption system can include bracket which can control pivoting of a seat back relative to the bracket when subject to forces exceeding a threshold force. The energy absorption system can include a movable wall coupled to the seat.

The present invention relates to a headrest moving device, more particularly, relates to a headrest moving device wherein the user convenience is enhanced since the contact position between the moving unit and the return spring is changed according to the position of the headrest so that the forces being applied by a user are same or similar, that is, there is no significant difference in the operational forces when moving the headrest to either the minimum position or the maximum position thereof.

Equipment and processes generate a seating solution by obtaining occupant data, calculating body dimensions from the occupant data, and calculating a best-fit body arrangement for an occupant. Occupant data may be obtained in various ways using available computational devices and software or by manually measuring the relevant dimensions on the occupant. A user interface for inputting occupant metrics and/or occupant measurements may be provided in a mobile terminal included in the vehicle or separate from the vehicle, thus giving users increased flexibility while maximizing simplicity and usability for the user or other personnel obtaining the data. Once an occupant's best-fit body arrangement is determined, it may be altered by changing the predetermined criteria to achieve optimum comfort, safety, and therapeutic benefit as well as used for providing improved comfort on a continuous basis and/or in response to detected or predicted vehicle, road, or atmospheric conditions.

A headrest supporting structure is provided with a lower spring and an upper spring, which are located at different positions in the vertical direction of a seat. The structure elastically supports a headrest stay with the springs. When a stopper section, which changes the position in the front-back direction in accordance with pivoting of the headrest, comes into contact with a support bracket, further pivoting of the headrest is restricted. The stiffness of the upper spring located relatively distant from the stopper section in the seat vertical direction is higher than that of the lower spring located closer to the stopper section.

Travel sleeping aids for assisting a seated traveler to sleep in a forward leaning seated position toward a passenger seat in front of the seated traveler, the passenger seat having a headrest. In one implementation, a travel sleeping aid includes a U-shaped head support having a face contoured aperture for supporting the seated traveler's head in a forward leaning seated position and a support structure rotatable with respect to the U-shaped head support between a storage position flush with the U-shaped head support and a head support position generally perpendicular to the U-shaped head support. In another embodiment, a hanging travel sleeping aid includes a generally rectangular shaped head support having a passenger seat headrest pocket for being snugly placed on a passenger seat's headrest in front of a seated traveler and a head support panel for supporting the seated traveler's head in his forward leaning seated position.

A head rest that can secure backward view when it is not used, and enable adjustment of its front-and-rear position in use. The head rest is rotatable from a rearmost position to a stored position in which the head rest is tilted down forward. When the head rest is in a use range from the rearmost position to a forward adjustment limit position located in front, the tilting angle of the head rest is adjustable, and the head rest can be rotated forward to the stored position and rotated backward to the rearmost position. By contrast, when the head rest is in the stored position, forward rotation and backward rotation of the head rest are regulated, and the head rest can be rotated backward to the rearmost position.

A vehicle seating assembly has a seat having a lower seat and a seatback extending upwardly from the lower seat. The lower seat comprises a cushion frame assembly connected to a vehicle floor and a cushion leg jounce bracket comprising a base and a paddle connected with the cushion frame assembly. The paddle extends upwardly and forwardly to form a vertical gap between a distal end of the paddle and a forward portion of the cushion frame assembly to provide independent and resilient support for an occupant's thighs. A cushion foam assembly is disposed above and is attached to the cushion frame, a forward portion of the cushion foam assembly being supported by the paddle of the cushion leg jounce bracket.

A seat assembly having a headrest and a method of assembly. The headrest may be pivotally disposed on a support post and may have a support plate. The support plate may have first and second walls that have first and second holes, respectively, that may be disposed along the axis and that may receive the support post.
