Abstract: An energy absorbing table includes a support assembly and a table assembly. The support assembly includes a sidewall support that mounts to a sidewall, a support post that attaches to a floor, and a table support assembly coupled to the sidewall support and the support post. The table assembly includes a tabletop, at least one energy absorbing assembly, and at least one linear guide assembly. The at least one energy absorbing assembly includes a pair of plunger assemblies secured to the tabletop, and a crush chamber assembly secured to the table support assembly. The crush chamber assembly is configured to slidably receive an end portion of each of the pair of plunger assemblies and includes a pair of energy absorption cores. The at least one linear guide assembly includes a linear guide secured to the tabletop, and a pair of mounts secured to the table support assembly.

Abstract: A system for retrofitting a wall of an aircraft monument includes a modular power charging unit and mounting hardware. The modular power charging unit includes a housing containing an electrical port component, a cable harness, and a switch. The housing has a plurality of screw holes and a back panel having an opening through which the cable harness extends. The mounting hardware includes a plurality of threaded inserts, each configured to be inserted into one of a plurality of mounting holes formed in the wall, and a plurality of screws, each configured to extend through a screw hole of the housing and into a threaded insert. The housing is configured to be secured to a first side of the wall so that the entirety of the housing projects outward from the first side and only the cable harness extends through a cable-harness hole formed through a thickness of the wall.
