  • DOOR ASSEMBLY FOR PASSENGER SEATING
    Publication number: 20220340283
    Abstract: A door assembly for passenger seating comprises a base having a leading end in which a recess is formed, and a door that is curved in end cross-section. The door is pivotable with respect to the base and, in an open state, the rearward end of the door is located in the recess. The arrangement reduces the space in the forward direction that is required to accommodate the door, and so facilitates provision of a minimum size of gap between seat rows without having to increase inter-row pitch.

  • Deployment mechanism for a deployable table
    Patent number: 9708066
    Abstract: A deployment mechanism for a seat table has a non-linear motion slide comprising a primary carriage movable back and forth along a primary track. A secondary carriage is coupled to the primary carriage and moves with the primary carriage. A secondary non-linear track runs non-parallel with the primary track. The secondary carriage is coupled to the secondary track and is movable back and forth along the secondary track. The coupling between the secondary carriage and the primary carriage allows relative movement between the carriages in a transverse direction and allows relative rotation between the secondary carriage and the primary carriage about a perpendicular axis.
