A stowage container including a barrier such as a door or access panel and a breach detector for monitoring and/or detecting a breach of the barrier. The breach detector includes an indicator assembly having a slot that can be positioned between, and defined by, a front panel and a back panel of the barrier, and an indicator within the slot. The indicator assembly further includes a retainer that maintains the indicator in a first state when the barrier is in a first position (e.g., closed or sealed) and which releases the indicator into a second state when the barrier moves from the first position to a second position (e.g., open or breached). Upon returning the barrier to the first position, the indicator remains in the second state until the indicator reset to the first state.

A seat for an aircraft comprises a compartment and a seal system. The seal system comprises a first tab connected to a first portion of the compartment, a second tab connected to a second portion of the compartment, and a piece of adhesive material connecting the first tab to the second tab.

A three-place aircraft divan configured to be installed side-facing in an aircraft and track between an upright sitting position and a berth position. Seat bottom and backrest portions of the divan are movably supported on a static frame and track together. The divan includes inflatable passenger restraints at each seat place and a leg flail prevention device at one end of the frame triggered to actuate in response to an event sensed by a mechanical crash sensor. The inboard leg arrangement of the divan accommodates the installation of two containers for containing high-capacity life rafts under the seat bottom frame, among other equipment.

A life vest pouch is closed by overlapping panels. A male panel is attached to an upper face portion and includes three inserted flaps and a female panel is attached to a lower face portion and includes four cuts. Two center cuts are vertical and receive opposite ends of a center flap and two outer cuts receive outer flaps. The opposite ends of the center flap are generally triangular and overlap the outer flaps. The panels are made from polycarbonate or the like. The pouch is opened by pulling a strap attached to the lower face portion. A tamper proof seal is attached to both upper and lower face portions and is torn if the pouch is opened.

A life vest stowage pouch including a rigid throat having an opening therethrough, a fabric pouch attached to a back of the rigid throat and having an opening held open by the rigid throat, and a rigid door attached to a front of the rigid throat comprising a latch adapted to engage with a catch on the rigid throat to hold the rigid door closed, wherein the interior volume of the fabric pouch is sized to accommodate therein an inflatable life vest in a deflated state.

Provided are methods and systems for automated location and identification of multiple objects in an aircraft cabin. A method utilizes a wireless client, RFID reader, and camera, which together form a set. Each set is associated with a specific inspection zone in the cabin. The RFID reader determines the presence of a RFID tag in only one zone. Further, the camera captures an image of that zone. A data feedback is generated based on both the image and the RFID reader response. The data feedback is transmitted by the wireless client to a router and is analyzed to determine the presence of the object in the inspection zone and, if present, the identity of the object. The data feedback is associated with the location of the zone in the aircraft cabin, which is known or may be determined using a set of wireless routers positioned throughout the cabin.

A life vest bag, in particular a passenger seat life vest bag, has at least one receiving unit, which comprises at least one receiving space for at least one life vest and at least one access opening to the receiving space, and has at least one closure unit which closes the access opening in at least one correctly closed state.

A vehicle passenger seat assembly for a passenger cabin of a vehicle includes: a pair of side frames; passenger seats disposed between the pair of side frames. Each of the passenger seats includes: a back portion configured to support a back of a passenger; and a bottom portion configured to support a hip of the passenger. The vehicle passenger seat assembly further includes: a first horizontal beam that connects the pair of side frames and is disposed at the same vertical height, from a floor of the passenger cabin, as a lower end of the back portion.
