Seat unit and attachment method thereof
A seat unit for an aircraft that can be directly fixed at three points to a seat track provided on the floor of the aircraft. One representative seat unit and attachment method thereof relates to a seat unit comprising a lower structure of the seat unit and three fixtures configured to attach the lower structure directly to a pair of seat tracks of a mobile body, wherein the three fixtures include a lateral position adjustment member configured to laterally adjust a fitting position with the pair of seat tracks, a first fixture is fixed to one of the pair of seat tracks, a second fixture is fixed to one of the pair of seat tracks at a point separated from the first fixture, and a third fixture is fixed to another one of the pair of seat tracks at a corresponding portion between the first fixture and the second fixture.
Payload attachment fitting and methods to use the same
A seat track fitting assembly can include a seat track having a channel sized and shaped to removably, coupleably receive a seat track fitting, which seat track fitting can include a central flange having a lug aperture which is sized and shaped to be coupleable to a payload component, and at least a pair of shear pads, with each one of the shear pads protruding outwardly from opposing sides of the central flange and including a shear flange, and a tensile flange, wherein the tensile flange and the shear flange are integrally formed with the central flange. Related methods are also provided.
Seat unit and lower structure thereof
A seat unit and a lower structure thereof that are not restricted in their positional relationship with seat tracks provided in advance in the airframe. One representative seat unit of the present invention and the lower structure thereof includes a hollow structure integrally formed using a composite member. The hollow structure is hollow in a front direction of the seat unit. The hollow structure has a quadrilateral shape in the front direction of the seat unit. In addition, a partition plate is disposed in the hollow structure. Furthermore, the lower structure includes attachment points to an aircraft at three locations on its bottom. In addition, a block is embedded in the composite member at the attachment point, and a thickness of the composite member around a bracket coupled to the block is less than thickness at other locations.
Seat track assembly for use in an air vehicle
A seat track assembly for use in a vehicle. The seat track assembly includes a floor joist including a main body extending in a longitudinal direction, a seat track channel defined in the main body, and at least one support flange extending in a lateral direction from the main body. A raceway is on the at least one support flange, wherein the raceway extends longitudinally along the floor joist, and has an interior sized to receive wiring therein. The seat track assembly also includes a track cover including a top plate. The raceway is positioned between the at least one support flange and the top plate, and the top plate extends past the raceway in the lateral direction.
GOLF BAG MOUNTING SYSTEM FOR A STANDUP MOTORIZED TRANSPORT UTILITY VEHICLE
A motorized standup utility vehicle having a golf bag mounting system to mount a golf bag. The golf bag mounting system enables the golf bag to swivel in multiple positions (left, right, center) and rotate and tilt between a range of 90 degrees (vertical) to 30 degrees (horizontal) positions. The golf bag mounting system comprises an upper bag support assembly, a lower bag support assembly, a swivel mounting plate, a cradle bracket, a bushing plate and a cylindrical tube which are all connected by connecting bolts. Further bungee cords are used to secure a golf bag to the golf bag mounting system.
OVERLAY FLOOR FOR MOTOR VEHICLES
An overlay floor for motor vehicles, applied on the mother floor of the vehicle, intended to fix seats, wheelchairs or other equipment therein, having a shape adapted to the mother floor of the vehicle in which it is to be mounted. In the floor plate 1 there are made longitudinal mounting sockets 1′, into which two-part mounting rails are inserted. The mounting rails consist of an upper rail 2 with flanges 3 and a groove 4 for equipment fasteners and a 2″ lower base connected to it. The mounting sockets 1′ are made in a uniform sheet of the floor plate 1 as through, longitudinal holes for the profiles of the mounting rails. The upper rails 2′ have a longitudinal lock 5 at the bottom for connection to the lower bases 2″ which have a corresponding longitudinal lock 6 along the upper surfaces of the bases 2″. The width of the profile of the upper rails 2′ and the width of the base profile 2″ are such that they fit in the mounting sockets 1′ with a light interference.
Electromagnetic seat attachment and seat power
A seat assembly, a multi-passenger vehicle, and a method for attaching seats to a floor of a vehicle that employ an electromagnetic coupling between the seats and the floor. A power supply supplies electricity to the electromagnetic coupling to secure the seats to the floor and is turned off to release the seats from the floor without tools or workers bending down below the seats to remove coupling devices. The seats can therefore be readily repositioned or rearranged to adjust the spacing between the seats. Resident induction coupling is included between the floor of the vehicle and the seats to provide wireless power to the seats.
AIRCRAFT SEAT CONNECTOR AND METHOD OF MOUNTING AN AIRCRAFT SEAT TO AN AIRCRAFT
An aircraft seat connector for mounting an aircraft seat to a mounting rail provided at a floor of an aircraft cabin comprises: a seat connection element for being mounted to the aircraft seat; and a base element for being mounted to the mounting rail. The base element comprises a seat coupling portion which is configured for receiving a mating portion of the seat connection element in at least two different spatial orientations, with the seat coupling portion thus allowing for arranging the seat connection element on the base element in at least two different spatial orientations.
Frame of a seat arrangement of a vehicle
A frame of a seat arrangement of a vehicle having a base frame and a connecting mechanism for releasable connection of the base frame to a vehicle floor. The connecting mechanism includes a floor rail assigned to the vehicle floor and a connecting portion which is adapted to the floor rail and assigned to the base frame. In the connected state, a bearing face of the connecting portion bears against a bearing face of the floor rail. Two plug elements including a shank portion and a head portion of greater diameter relative to the shank portion, are provided on one bearing face, and two recesses formed as an undercut region adapted to the plug elements, are provided on the other bearing face, so that the connection is able to be produced by a rear-engagement connection between the plug elements and the associated recesses.
Aircraft seat kit, and aircraft seat and cabin arrangement with different types of seat rail adapters
An aircraft seat kit with one aircraft seat, and an aircraft seat and cabin arrangement with at least two aircraft seats for being mounted one after the other onto a seat rail are described. The seat rail provides a grid with a pre-determined grid pitch for mounting the at least two aircraft seats. Each of the at least two aircraft seats includes: a seating structure, a support for supporting the seating structure, and one of two types of seat rail adapters for mounting the support onto the seat rail. The two types of seat rail adapters differ from each other in that they configure at least one aircraft seat with a different distance in a longitudinal direction between a seat reference point and a reference mounting position, respectively.
