CONTROLLING MOVEMENT OF A TABLE IN AN AIRCRAFT PASSENGER SUITE
An aircraft passenger suite (200) and method are provided. The aircraft passenger suite comprises a console (150) and a table (130) movably mounted to the console, the table being moveable along a table path between a first position and a second position. A controller (210) controls electro-mechanical movement of the table along the table path. The controller comprises an initiation input for receiving an instruction to initiate electro-mechanical movement of the table. The suite comprises sensing equipment for sensing if any obstacle is present on the table path and providing, to the controller, an indication of whether or not any obstacle is present on the table path. The controller is configured to prevent electro-mechanical movement of the table along the table path if the controller receives an indication that an obstacle is present on the table path.
MODULAR BAR
A modular bar made of bar modules includes a bar element and one or more seating elements pivotably attached to the bar element. The seating element(s) is moveable relative to the bar element between a stowed position and a seat position, the module configured to be arranged adjacent one or more other bar modules to form a bar.
Actuatable tray assembly for an aircraft passenger compartment
An actuatable tray assembly for an aircraft passenger compartment may include a tray configured to stow underneath a monument positioned a select distance from an aircraft seat in the aircraft passenger compartment. The actuatable tray assembly may include an actuation assembly. The actuation assembly may include at least one linear rail coupled to an ottoman assembly positioned proximate to the aircraft seat in the aircraft passenger compartment. The ottoman assembly may include a frame assembly and an ottoman. The ottoman may be coupled to the frame assembly. The actuation assembly may include a carriage configured to actuate along the at least one linear rail. The carriage may be coupled to the tray. The carriage may be configured to actuate the tray from a stowed position to an extended position.
Aircraft divan
An aircraft is disclosed with an aircraft divan that comprises a back rest, an upright side rest extending from the back rest and forming a side of the aircraft divan, and a seat rest having a first seat section connected to the back rest and a second seat section displaceable translationally relative to the first seat section between a first position and a second position, a gap defined between the first seat section and the second seat section in the first position to receive therein legs of a seated occupant between the first and second seat sections, and the first and second seat sections being adjacent one another to close the gap and form an elongated sitting surface in the second position. A method of adjusting such aircraft divan is also provided.
PASSENGER SEAT ARRANGEMENT
The present invention relates to an aircraft cabin having a longitudinal axis and comprising at least one aisle and an arrangement of seat units, a seat unit comprising, in particular, a seat provided with a base and a backrest as well as a foot area, the seat being movable between a sitting position and a lying position, the arrangement of seat units comprising: at least one rear group of two seat units, at least one front group of two seat units, each group of two seat units comprising a seat unit arranged on the side of the aisle and referred to as the “aisle-side seat unit” and a seat unit arranged on the side of a window and referred to as the “window-side seat unit”, each seat of a group of seat units having an axis forming a non-zero angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the aircraft cabin, such that the seats of each group are facing the aisle, a first passage for accessing the aisle associated with the window-side seat unit of the rear group extending between the foot area and the seat of the aisle-side seat unit of the rear group, and a second passage for accessing the aisle associated with the window-side seat unit of the rear group extending between the aisle-side seat unit of the front group and the foot area of the aisle-side seat unit of the rear group.
Tray table apparatus for a console element, console element and seat unit
A tray table apparatus includes a table carrier structure releasably mountable to a console element, wherein the table carrier structure is configured as a housing. The tray table apparatus further includes an adjustment mechanism housed within the table carrier structure, wherein the adjustment mechanism has a table support element movable relative to the table carrier structure. The tray table apparatus also includes a table element coupled to the table support element and together movable between at least a retracted stowed position in which the table element is housed within the table carrier structure and a deployed use position in which the table element protrudes from the table carrier structure.
Business class seats for a passenger vehicle
Passenger seat assemblies may be used in vehicles such as aircraft. The passenger seat assembly includes a first wall, a second wall opposite from the first wall, and a passenger seat having a first side and a second side opposite from the first side. The passenger seat is positioned between the first wall and the second wall. The passenger seat assembly is positionable between a forward-facing configuration and an aft-facing configuration. In both the forward-facing configuration and the aft-facing configuration, the first wall is proximate to the first side of the passenger seat and the second wall is proximate to the second side of the passenger seat.
CONVERTIBLE INTERIOR FIXTURE WITH FOLDABLE CUSHION FOR A VEHICLE
A configurable interior fixture for a vehicle includes a base assembly, a table assembly and a stowable cushion. The foldable cushion includes first and second pad portions pivotally connected along a medial edge with a hinge assembly and a collapsible sleeve forming an interior cavity configured to receive the table assembly when the foldable cushion is in a use state. The collapsible sleeve is disposed in a gap formed between the first and second pad section when the foldable cushion is in a folded state. The interior fixture may be configured as an ottoman by lowering the base assembly, folding the table assembly and attaching the foldable cushion to the table assembly. The interior fixture may be configured as a table by raising the base assembly, detaching the foldable cushion from the table assembly, then folding and stowing the foldable cushion.
Passenger seating arrangement
In a passenger seating arrangement in an aircraft cabin, the passenger seating arrangement has exactly two rows of seat units and exactly one aisle. A first row of seat units and a second row of seat units are separated by the aisle. The rows of seat units and the aisle all extend in a longitudinal direction parallel to a longitudinal axis of the aircraft cabin. Each seat unit includes a seat, an upper shell and a lower shell, the lower shell forming a footwell. The seats are arranged in parallel to each other in a seating direction. An upper shell of a first seat unit and a lower shell of a second seat unit, which, viewed in the longitudinal direction, is arranged behind the first seat unit, partially overlap in a vertical direction.
Passenger seating arrangement having a screen between seat units
A passenger seating arrangement for use in an aircraft cabin, wherein the seat units are arranged in an inwardly facing herringbone layout. A screen is arranged to separate a passenger in each aft seat unit from a passenger in a fore seat unit in front of it in the column. The screen comprises an upper part and a lower part below the upper part, the upper and lower parts of the screen being offset relative to each other, for example to create an overhang on the side of the screen facing the aft seat unit, such that, the upper part provides shoulder space for a passenger seated in the fore seat unit, and the lower part provides arm space, in which there is an arm rest, for a passenger seated in the aft seat unit.
