Provided is an aircraft seat structure capable of ensuring passenger comfort and effectively utilizing space in the cabin. The aircraft seat structure includes a first seat unit having a first seat region in which passengers are able to sit, and a first side region adjacent in a direction perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the first seat region; and a second seat unit having a second seat region in which passengers are able to sit, and a second side region adjacent in a direction perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the second seat region. The first side region is provided on one side of the first seat region along a direction that intersects a traveling direction of an aircraft, and the second side region is provided on another side of the second seat region along the direction that intersects the traveling direction of the aircraft. The first side region and the second seat region are joined in a state in which a portion of the second seat region is inserted into the first side region. The first side region and the second side region are separated by a partition wall, and the partition wall has an inclined surface tilted toward the second seat unit.

The invention relates to an aircraft passenger seat comprising a support framework, the support framework being designed to be fastened to a floor in an aircraft passenger cabin, wherein the support framework has a seat divider and bars running transversely to the seating direction, the seat divider being supported by the bars. A housing comprises a structural component and the housing at least partly surrounds a backrest. According to the invention, the seat divider is connected to the structural component via a connecting device, the connecting device being designed as a plug-in connection.

Examples of the disclosure provide a seatback for a vehicle seat, in particular an aircraft seat, comprising a seatback structure that includes a rear side having a partially circumferential outer edge and a recess which is partially surrounded by the outer edge. The recess is configured to retain a panel at least partially arranged within the recess and at least partially covered by the outer edge. The panel is detachable retained to and/or in the recess and is configured as an interchangeable and customized part.

A table device for a seat, in particular for an aircraft seat, includes a table unit which is configured for being adjustable at least between a use position and a stowage position, and has at least one locking module which has at least one attachment unit which is configured for being at least in part fixedly connected to a seat component, wherein the table unit at least in the stowage position is lockable to the attachment unit. The locking module has at least two force-fit and/or form-fit elements, by means of which the table unit in a locked state is coupled in a form-fitting and/or force-fitting manner to the attachment unit.

A variety of seats and seating arrangements are disclosed for use in transport vehicles such as airliners. The seats can have specific features and/or be arranged at specific angles adjacent to each other to combine high capacity with passenger comfort and safety.

A system may include a surface, a pocket member, and spring members. The pocket member may have a top portion, a bottom portion, an exterior side, and an interior side. Each spring member may be positioned vertically between the surface and the interior side of the pocket member. Each spring member may have a spring top portion and a spring bottom portion. Each of the spring top portions may be attached to the top portion of the pocket member. Each of the spring bottom portions may be attached to the surface at a location corresponding to a vertical position of the bottom portion of the pocket member. The surface, the pocket member, and the spring members may form a pocket configured to at a given time be one of: open at the top portion of the pocket member, open at the bottom portion of the pocket member, or closed.

A cover for a seat having a headrest includes a stabilizing bracket member that enables a secure attachment of an electronic device for use by a passenger behind the seat. In one embodiment, the cover includes a sleeve defining a chamber, a first opening to the chamber, and a second opening to the chamber. The chamber is sized and shaped to at least partially contain the headrest. The first opening is sized and positioned such that at least a portion of the headrest is insertable into the chamber through the first opening. The stablizing bracket member defines an aperture and is attached to the sleeve such that the aperture is aligned with the second opening so that the second opening is unobstructed.

A method and apparatus include attaching a lighted cup holder to a seating arrangement. The lighted cup holder includes a cup holder body and a light-producing light source, with the cup holder body being attached to the seating arrangement and having a cup receptacle therein, the light-producing source being disposed within the cup receptacle for illuminating the receptacle. A light-sensitive element operatively connected to the light source selectively controls production of light by the light source in such a manner that illumination of the cup holder is provided only under conditions where visibility is reduced to the point that it becomes difficult to locate the cup holder. The light-sensitive element is mounted on a master lighted cup holder and controls illumination of the master lighted cup holder and one or more slave lighted cup holders operatively connected to the master lighted cup holder.

Systems and methods relating to foreign object detection with respect to passenger-accessible stowage compartments are provided. According to one example, sensor data is captured via a sensor subsystem that includes a sensor associated with each of a plurality of stowage compartments. For each of the stowage compartments, a baseline condition is identified in which foreign objects are absent from the stowage compartment. A foreign object is detected within a stowage compartment based on the sensor data received for the stowage compartment and the baseline condition identified for the stowage compartment. An audit of the stowage compartments is conducted, and based on the audit, an indication that the foreign object is detected within the stowage compartment is output. This indication may identify the stowage compartment containing the foreign object among the plurality of stowage compartments.
