| 20110277672 | TRAY TABLE STOP ASSEMBLY - Described are tray table stop assemblies comprising a housing comprising at least one deployment track, a force-receiving mechanism comprising at least one protuberance, wherein the at least one protuberance is slidingly coupled to the at least one deployment track, and a biasing mechanism positioned between the force-receiving mechanism and the housing. In some embodiments, the tray table stop assembly is coupled to a passenger seat assembly adjacent a tray table assembly having at least one arm. In these versions, the arm of the tray table assembly is positioned to apply pressure to the force-receiving mechanism when the tray table assembly travels between a stowed position and a deployed position. When the tray table assembly moves forward beyond the stowed position, the force-receiving mechanism is positioned within the travel path of the arm. | 11-17-2011 |
| 20110187163 | SEAT BACK ASSEMBLY - Embodiments of the present invention include a seat back assembly comprising a seat back with a recess and a tray table assembly. The table body is configured to substantially fit within the recess. An amenity compartment may also be coupled to the seat back above the tray table assembly and may be configured to also substantially fit within the recess. The amenity compartment may be a bezel or an upper literature pocket. A latching mechanism releasably engages the tray table assembly with the amenity compartment. The amenity compartment may be coupled to the seat back via a hook that engages a slotted bracket on the seat back and projections that engage receptacles on the seat back. A protective covering may be inserted between the seat back and the amenity compartment and coupled to the seat back without additional fasteners. The protective covering may be a full shroud, a partial shroud, or a dress cover. | 08-04-2011 |
| 20110148173 | SEAT PAN ASSEMBLY - Embodiments of the present invention include a passenger seat with a seat frame having at least one coupling projection and a seat pan assembly having at least one coupling retainer. The coupling retainer is configured to releasably engage the coupling projection via at least one locking device. The seat pan assembly is disengaged from the passenger seat by removing the locking device, disengaging the coupling retainer, and rotating the seat pan assembly to an open position. | 06-23-2011 |
| 20110148167 | PASSENGER SEAT ASSEMBLY - Embodiments of the present invention include a seat back pivotally coupled to a seat frame via a pivot shaft, wherein a lower end of the seat back does not extend below the pivot shaft, a seat pan fixedly coupled to the seat frame, at least one quadrant arm fixedly coupled to the seat back and pivotally coupled to the pivot shaft, and a recline lock coupled to the one quadrant arm and the seat frame. The pivot shaft is coupled to the seat frame at a high pivot location, wherein the seat back is configured to pivot adjacent a lumbar region of a passenger's back. The seat pan may optionally include an extension from the seat pan that is configured to couple to the pivot shaft and fill a seat back aperture located between the lower end of the seat back and the seat pan. | 06-23-2011 |
| 20110148156 | TABLE STOP ASSEMBLY - Embodiments of the present invention include a table stop assembly comprising a mounting block having at least one receptacle, at least one stop coupled to the receptacle, and at least one arm knuckle. The arm knuckle includes a side, a first end, and a second end, wherein the side is pivotally coupled to the mounting block, the first end is pivotally coupled to a tray table, and the second end is configured to contact the stop when the tray table is in a deployed position. In some embodiments, the position of the stop is adjustable relative to the receptacle. In other embodiments, the tray table in the deployed position comprises a surface that forms an angle relative to a horizontal axis that is controlled by the position of the stop. | 06-23-2011 |
| 20110095590 | HEAD REST MECHANISMS AND ASSEMBLIES - Detailed are head rest mechanisms and assemblies containing a flexible collar. Portions of the collar may be moved independently from other portions and may pivot or otherwise move both forward of the seat back and vertically under passenger control. Also described are slide assemblies containing deformable projections for use with vertically-adjustable head rests. | 04-28-2011 |
| 20110013972 | SEAT TRACK FITTING - Embodiments of the present invention include a track fitting assembly comprising a main body, at least one pre-loaded stud assembly, and a track comprising a pair of lips. The at least one pre-loaded stud assembly comprises a stud and a compressing device. The at least one pre-loaded stud assembly comprises a clamped position, wherein the stud is coupled to the pair of lips and does not contact the compressing device. The at least one pre-loaded stud assembly also comprises an unclamped position, wherein the stud contacts the compressing device and does not contact the pair of lips. Other embodiments include the main body, at least one shear plunger assembly, and the track comprising the pair of lips, where the pair of lips comprise at least one circular opening. The at least one shear plunger assembly comprises a shear pin and a button. The at least one shear pin assembly comprises an disengaged position, wherein the button extends from the main body and the shear pin is positioned within the main body. The at least one shear plunger assembly also comprises an engaged position, wherein the button is positioned flush with the main body and the shear pin is extended from the main body and within the at least one circular opening. | 01-20-2011 |
