A passenger furniture device for a passenger seat provided within a vehicle cabin, in particular an aircraft cabin, comprising at least a base element comprising at least an upper utility surface for a passenger, a removable section element which is mounted to one side of the base element, and a simple latch mechanism. In particular, the latch mechanism may be a simple plug-in and clip device. The latch mechanism is an easy-to-handle releasable attachment and fixation device to release the removable section from the base element, particularly only by crew and service members of the aircraft. The latch mechanism is provided on the base element and the section element such that the section element is detachably mounted to the base element via the latch mechanism.

An aircraft that includes a cabin interior that is bifurcated into first and second sides and includes a pilot zone and a passenger zone aft of the pilot zone, a pilot seat positioned in the pilot zone and on a first side of the cabin interior, and first and second rows positioned in the passenger zone. The front row includes first and second front seats positioned on first and second sides of the cabin interior, respectively. The first and second front seats are angled away from one another and the second front seat is positioned forwardly of the first front seat. The back row includes first and second back seats positioned on first and second sides of the cabin interior, respectively.

An aircraft passenger seat assembly is disclosed. In embodiments, the aircraft passenger seat assembly includes an aircraft passenger seat, wherein the aircraft passenger seat includes a seatback configured to support an upper body of an aircraft passenger, and a seatback bezel defining at least a portion of a rear seatback surface. In embodiments, the aircraft passenger seat assembly may further include at least one privacy assembly, wherein the at least one privacy assembly includes a closeout body coupled to the seatback bezel, and a privacy panel coupled to the closeout body, the privacy panel extending from the closeout body in order to at least partially separate a seating environment of the aircraft passenger seat from an adjacent seating environment of an adjacent aircraft passenger seat.

A system and method for vehicle compartment item presence indication senses an item within a vehicle compartment and notifies a user if the item is expected or unexpected within the compartment based on a vehicle state. Should the item be expected in a compartment during a phase of flight where the compartment is expected to contain items, there is no abnormal indication. However, if a compartment is expected to be empty during a specific phase of flight and the sensors indicate an item is present, the system will alert the user to the unexpected item.

A springless lower closeout system for a passenger seat includes left-side and right-side seat spreaders defining a lower aft portion of the passenger seat between them. Each seat spreader includes a restrictive channel extending along the left and right sides of the seat spreader, oriented toward the lower aft portion of the passenger seat. A dress cover extends in a taut state between the left-side and right-side seat spreaders. The dress cover includes cord elements on its left and right edges, the cord elements insertable into the left-side restrictive channels to directly connect the dress cover to the seat spreaders, closing out the lower aft portion of the passenger seat. A zipper or fastener connecting the dress cover and either edge may be partially unfastened to adjust the tension of the dress cover and facilitate attachment or removal of the cord elements to or from the restrictive channels.

A seating system for an internal cabin of an aircraft includes a table having at least one panel that is configured to be moved between a stowed position and a deployed position, and at least one seat assembly proximate to the table. The seat assembly is configured to be moved between a forward orientation in which the seat assembly faces away from the table, and a lateral orientation in which the seat assembly faces towards the table.

A holder assembly, movable between stowed and deployed configurations, includes a holder including a flap configured to support a personal electronic device. The holder is configured to rotate between stowed and deployed positions. A latch assembly is configured to engage the holder in the stowed position, and a movement assembly is configured to automatically move the holder from the stowed position to the deployed position upon disengagement of the holder and latch assembly.

A system for disposing waste in a transportation system includes a collection device for collecting waste in the cabin of the transportation system, a separate receptacle device for receiving collected waste from the collection device, and a connection device for selectively connecting the collection device to the receptacle device in order to deliver collected waste from the collection device into the receptacle device. The receptacle device is arranged in a lower deck region underneath the cabin floor. The connection device extends into the receptacle device from the cabin floor and includes a closure that is arranged on or in the cabin floor. The collection device is mechanically couplable to the connection device, and includes a closable output opening aligned with the closure of the connection device in the coupled state. The closure and/or the output opening can only be opened when the collection device is coupled to the receptacle device.

The invention relates to a vehicle (10) seat (22), comprising: a seat bottom (26); a backrest (28) secured to the seat bottom (26), and at least one leg (32) supporting the seat bottom (26).

The leg (32) comprises at least three segments (44, 46, 48), including: a first segment (44) fastened to the lower face (40) of the seat bottom (26), a second segment (46) fastened to the floor (20, 21) of the vehicle (10), and a third segment (48) joining the first segment (44) and the second segment (46).
The third segment (48) is arranged so that the leg (32) defines a housing (50) between the seat bottom (26) and the floor (20, 21).

The housing (50) is able to accommodate at least one piece of carry-on luggage (52) such that it does not protrude by more than 100 mm from the front edge (34) or the rear edge (36) of the seat bottom (26).

An aircraft that includes a body that defines a cabin interior, front and back rows of seats positioned in the passenger zone, a forward door that is pivotable between a closed position and an open position, and an aft door that is pivotable between a closed position and an open position. The cabin interior includes a pilot zone, a passenger zone positioned aft of the pilot zone, and a cargo zone positioned aft of the passenger zone. The pilot zone and the front row of seats are accessible and the back row and cargo zone are inaccessible from an exterior of the body when the aft door is in the closed position and the forward door is in the open position. The back row and cargo zone are accessible and the pilot zone and the front row of seats are inaccessible from the exterior of the body when the aft door is in the open position and the forward door is in the closed position.
