Passenger seating groups positionable in a column in an aircraft between a longitudinal aisle and a fuselage wall. Each passenger seating group includes a first passenger seat positioned along an aisle side and facing a first direction, a first footwell positioned along the aisle side and facing the first passenger seat, a second passenger seat positioned along the wall side and facing the first direction, and a second footwell positioned along the wall side and facing the second direction to serve a second passenger seat in an adjacent like seating group. Each seat has its own dedicated entry from the longitudinal aisle and seats within the same seating group are physically separated by privacy walls.

A footrest system is disclosed. The footrest cushion is supported by a frame that is hinge-mounted onto the front of a chair frame. The rotation of the footrest frame by a user creates, through a mechanical system, rotation in a spool. The spool is wound with first and second lines, each being wound in the reverse direction as the other. The lines are connected through rerouting systems and then anchored to the translating member such that they pull the member out upon a deployment, and return the member back in when the footrest is retracted.

An aircraft seat assembly for achieving a reclined sitting position suitable for taxi-take-off and landing (TTOL). The assembly includes an independently adjustable seat back and seat bottom coupled to a frame member configured to translate relative to a base and actuators dedicated for driving independent articulation of each of the seat back, seat pan and optional legrest to achieve sitting positions including upright, lie-flat and positions therebetween.

An aerial workstation which comprises a seat having a sitting portion, a backrest that is connected by a first articulation that allows the backrest to pivot relative to the sitting portion, and an arm configured to position the seat in various positions and orientations in space as required. The aerial workstation makes it possible to be able to translate the seat in a cockpit in an introduction direction, and to make it pivot about a pivot axis that coincides with the direction of introduction within the cockpit.

A passenger seat with a recliner sofa system includes a passenger seatback with a seatback frame and a seatback cushion. The seatback cushion is rotatable relative to the seatback frame between a stowed configuration and a deployed configuration. In some examples, in the deployed configuration, the seatback cushion extends through the seatback frame. In various examples, in the deployed configuration, the seatback cushion of a forward passenger seat abuts a seat base of an aft passenger seat. In certain examples, a method of reclining a passenger seat with a recliner sofa system includes rotating a seatback cushion of a seatback of a passenger seat relative to a seatback frame of the seatback of the passenger seat, and positioning the seatback cushion relative to the seatback frame such that a portion of the seatback cushion extends through the seatback frame.

A multi-function lever actuation system includes a control lever having a neutral position and configured to be actuated in a clockwise direction and in a counterclockwise direction. The system further includes a bell crank coupled to the control lever and configured to rotate in an opposite direction from the control lever and to actuate a first controlled component in response to a first rotation of the control lever in a first direction corresponding to the clockwise direction or the counterclockwise direction. The system further includes a first cable coupled to the control lever and configured to actuate a second controlled component in response to a rotation of the control lever in a second direction corresponding to the other of the clockwise direction or the counterclockwise direction.

A passenger seat for an aircraft, including a bottom support configured to be connected to a floor of the aircraft, a seat pan frame, and a support structure interconnecting the seat pan frame to the bottom support, the support structure including a front support member pivotally connected to a front end of the seat pan frame, the front support member including a respective strut on each side of the seat pan frame, each respective stmt having a bottom end rigidly connected to the bottom support and an opposed top end located under the seat pan frame, the bottom end being inwardly, downwardly and rearwardly offset with respect to the top end.

A lock mechanism for controlling a rotating component including an outer shaft attachable to a stationary component and having a slotted ring defining capture slots and an interior annular space, a control ring having a first end disposed in the annular space, an inner shaft attachable to a rotating component configured to rotate relative to the stationary component, and the inner shaft engaged with a second end of the control ring, a first collar rotatably disposed around the slotted ring, the first collar having a plurality of release recesses, and a plurality of first bearings respectively retained within the capture slots beneath the first collar. In a first rotational position of the first collar, the plurality of release recesses align with the capture slots to rotationally disengage the rotating and stationary components. In a second rotational position of the first collar, the plurality of release recesses misalign with the capture slots to rotationally engage the rotating and stationary components.

A passenger seat includes a bottom support to be connected to the aircraft floor, a seat pan frame, and a support structure interconnecting the seat pan frame to the bottom support. A front support member defines a frontmost portion of the support structure, and has a top end connected to a front end of the seat pan frame and a bottom end connected to the bottom support. The front end of the seat pan frame is forwardly offset from a front end of the bottom support and the top end of the front support member is forwardly offset from its bottom end such that an empty space is defined across a width of the seat between the seat pan frame and the floor, forwardly of the support structure, forwardly of the bottom support, and rearwardly of a vertical plane aligned with the front end of the seat pan frame.

An apparatus for supporting an appendage of a seated user, generally in a vehicle, including adjustable support arms attached to a seat with a platform disposed at a distal end of second support arms so that the appendages of the user, such as a child, are supported thereon for comfort of the user.
