Described is a passenger seat assembly that may include a seat back including a rearward surface, a seat shroud positioned proximate to the rearward surface of the seat back and fixedly coupled to a seat frame, wherein the seat shroud remains stationary as the seat back moves between a stowed position and a deployed position, and at least one moveable shroud member coupled to the seat shroud at an attachment point and positioned proximate a rearward surface of the seat shroud, wherein a location of the attachment point is adjustable.

A seat with self-stowage capability is provided. The seat includes a seat pan lever which is rotatable between stowed and open positions, a fixed seat structure and an elastic assembly. The fixed seat structure includes an annulus. The elastic assembly includes a damper and an arc-spring disposable within the annulus to permit first rotations of the seat pan lever from the stowed position to the open positions and to urge second rotations of the seat pan lever from the open positions to the stowed position.

A seat bottom assembly, movable between stowed and deployed configurations, includes a seat pan plate having a front side, a rear side, a left side, a right side, a top surface, and a bottom surface. The seat pan plate is configured to move between stowed and deployed positions. The assembly also includes a pair of beam braces configured to engage a seat frame of a seat; a pair of front links operationally connecting the beam braces and the seat pan plate; and a pair of rear links operationally connecting the beam braces and the seat pan plate. Each of the front links is disposed on an opposite side of the seat pan plate from the other front link; and each of the rear links is disposed on an opposite side of the seat pan plate from the other rear link. The assembly also includes a seat cushion having a first top portion, a second top portion, and a bottom portion. The bottom portion of the seat cushion is generally disposed on the top surface of the seat pan plate. The bottom portion of the seat cushion and the seat pan plate are equally inclined when the seat pan plate is in the stowed and deployed positions. The second top portion is generally horizontal when the seat bottom assembly is in the deployed configuration, and negatively inclined relative to horizontal when the seat bottom assembly is in the stowed configuration.

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.

Described are torque bearing assemblies for passenger seats. A torque bearing attachment (122, 222, 322, 422) includes an elongated body having a forward edge configured to mate with an aft end (140) of a seat bottom pan (120), and first and second side edges having attachment elements (136) for connecting the assembly with a passenger seat frame (108). The first and second side edges can be positioned orthogonal to the forward edge and at opposite ends of the elongated body with respect to each other.

An aircraft cabin comprising a credenza and a lounge chair disposed above the credenza is disclosed. The lounge chair is adjustable between a first configuration defining a first seating arrangement and a second configuration defining a second seating arrangement. Also disclosed is a mechanism to facilitate the adjustment of the lounge chair.

A deployable cabin attendant seat system may include a primary cabin attendant seat, an auxiliary cabin attendant seat, a main support coupled to at least one of the primary cabin attendant seat or the auxiliary cabin attendant seat, and an actuation assembly coupled to at least the primary cabin attendant seat. The actuation assembly may be configured to actuate the primary cabin attendant seat relative to the auxiliary cabin attendant seat between a stowed seat position and a deployed seat position. The primary cabin attendant seat and the auxiliary cabin attendant seat may be arranged in a side-by-side configuration when the primary cabin attendant seat is in the deployed seat position. The primary cabin attendant seat may be stacked on the auxiliary cabin attendant seat when the primary cabin attendant seat is in the stowed seat position.

A passenger seat assembly can include a seat frame; a seat back supported by the seat frame, comprising a rearward surface, and moveable between a stowed position and a deployed position; and a monitor shroud positioned proximate to the rearward surface of the seat back and fixedly coupled to a stationary surface, wherein the monitor shroud remains stationary as the seat back moves between the stowed position and the deployed position, and the monitor shroud defines an opening that provides access to the rearward surface of the seat back.

Described are aircraft seats having a seat bottom coupled to a seat back and a linkage mechanism for reclining the seat. The reclining mechanism includes an actuator coupled to a recline lock linkage The actuator is movable between positions and moves the recline lock linkage about a pivot point to facilitate movement of the seat between an upright position and a deployed position.

A passenger seat includes a spreader with one or more open slot. The slot may be positioned on a lateral side of the spreader and may receive a portion of a seat base of the passenger seat within the slot. In some aspects, the slot may be elongated, and an insertion opening for the slot is provided in a top side of the spreader.
