Abstract: The present invention concerns a tablet support that can be readily affixed to one side of a substantially upright seatback and one that can conveniently function to support numerous types of informational displays, including, but not limited to books, magazines, tablet computers, note book computers, media players, smart phones and the like.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to headrest assemblies for passenger vehicles. More specifically, the present disclosure describes a headrest assembly that provides adjustment between a raised position and a lowered position by way of a pair of compression springs or an over-centering linkage. Also provided herein is a method for using the same.

Abstract: A monitor mounting apparatus for use in connection with passenger vehicles such as aircraft, trains, and buses.

Abstract: A utility tray for use with a substantially upright seat back which includes a seat back connector mechanism and a support tray assembly connected to the seat back connector mechanism. The support tray assembly includes a pair of first and second friction pivot joint assemblies connected to the seat back connector mechanism; a pair of support rails connected to and extending from the friction pivot joint assemblies; a first tray section connected to the pair of support rails for movement between a first retracted position and a second extended position, and a second tray section hingeably connected to the first tray section.

Abstract: The present invention is a method of producing perforated articles. A woven material, such as woven graphite, is impregnated with a curable high flow resin, such as epoxy or BMI resin, and placed on a pressure transmitting pad which has stud holes positioned and sized so as to permit the studs of a flexible mold to fit therein. The material can be smoothed over the pad using a roller. The studded flexible mold, which can be of polypropylene, polyethylene or PEEK, is then applied, pushing the studs through the woven material and into the stud holes. The pressure transmitting pad is removed and the flexible mold with the woven material thereon is formed to a desired contour, such as through placing the mold on a forming tool, followed by partially curing the resin impregnated in the woven material until the impregnated resin material has sufficient structural integrity to permit removal from the mold without permanent deformation.
