A seating unit system is provided to mount seats to a nose of a balcony. The seating unit system includes a balcony mount beam secured to the nose of the balcony. The balcony mount beam includes a front plate and a return. The front plate has an upwards extension. The seating unit includes one or more seats. Each seat has a balcony mount stanchion and a front rail socket connected to the balcony mount stanchion. The balcony mount stanchion includes a hook feature and a balcony mount beam bracket. The hook feature attaches to the upwards extension of the front plate and the balcony mount beam bracket attaches to the return. The front rail socket is configured to receive a front rail.

A remotely controlled powered chair may include a support frame, a seat pivotally mounted on the support frame, an rotary actuator mounted between the support frame and the seat to drive the seat to move relative to the support frame, a backrest pivotally mounted on the seat, and a linear actuator mounted between the seat and the backrest to drive the backrest to move relative to the seat. Thus, the rotary actuator may be controlled by an electrically control device to drive the seat to pivot relative to the support frame reciprocally in a pendulum manner so that the seat is pivoted relative to the support frame automatically. In addition, the linear actuator may be controlled by the electrically control device to adjust the inclined angle of the backrest so as to provide a comfortable sensation to the user. A remotely controlled powered chair may include a base assembly. A chair frame is supported on the base assembly. An actuator mechanism may communicate with the base assembly and the chair frame, and is operable to actuate the chair frame between first and second positions.

A seat connection mechanism having a bracket portion which is metal and includes a pivot area, an opening and a channel. A metal pin portion includes a pin and a stop portion, the pin rests in the pivot area such that the shelf portion inhibits movement of the pin portion along the pin's rotation axis, the pin configured to rotate within the pivot area about a rotation axis. The channel in the bracket portion arranged to pass adjacent and through an area of the center pivot, the channel arranged such that the stop portion of the pin portion are insertable into the channel through the opening at an insertion angle to allow the pin to rest in the pivot area and such that when the pin rotates within the center pivot, the stop portion of the pin portion moves within the bracket and the stop portion is configured to interact with the bracket at one or more predefined positions to stop rotation of the pin portion.

A system for releasably securing a platform in a raised position is disclosed. A track is provided. An arm is connected at a first end to the platform. A second end, with a lug, is biased toward a side portion of the track. The lug is configured to ride in the track. As the platform is raised, the lug rides upward and enters the top portion and clears a first vertical wall, whereupon the lug rests in the depression and thus supports the platform in the raised position. As the platform is raised further, the lug clears a second vertical wall, whereupon the lug can ride downward in the side portion and through a bottom portion, past a door and out an open end of the bottom portion.

A double action seating unit to be mounted to a nose of a platform is described. The double action seating unit includes a seat assembly, a back assembly and at least two stanchion. Each stanchion has a front bracket, a rear bracket, a stanchion tube and two pivot straps. The front bracket attaches the seat portion to the stanchion, the rear bracket attaches the stanchion to the nose of the platform and the stanchion tube attaches the back assembly to the stanchion. Each pivot strap connects an associated stanchion tube, the rear bracket and the front bracket. The double action seating unit can move between a use configuration and a storage configuration. The two pivot straps cause the seat assembly and the back assembly to simultaneously rotate when the double action seating unit moves between the use configuration and the storage configuration.

A flight attendant seat comprises a carrier having a guide with opposed first and second ends, and a storage compartment receiving the guide first end. The guide provides guidance along its length between its first and second ends. The seat comprises a plurality of segments, each slidingly mounted to the guide to allow a sliding movement of the segments along the guide and relative to the carrier device between a stored position of the segments within the storage compartment, and an exposed position of the segments. A seat element is pivotally mounted to a first of the segments pivotable between an inoperative and operative seat forming position. At least one backrest is mounted to at least a second of the segments. With the segments in their exposed position, the seat element, when pivoted to its operative position, together with the backrest(s), can be used as a flight attendant seat.
