  • Patent number: 10399679
    Abstract: An inertia reel interface for stowable seats is provided. The inertia reel interface may allow for simple access and replacement of inertia reels during maintenance. The inertia reel interface may comprise an inertia reel beam, a payout tube, and one or more inertia reels coupled to the inertia reel beam. The inertia reel beam may deploy a shoulder harness webbing over the payout tube. The payout tube may pivot to a first access position or a second access position to allow for maintenance of the inertia reel interface components.
