Abstract: Multiple features of seating assemblies are detailed. Innovations in or to tray tables, luggage bars, arm rests, seat backs, and seat frames are included, with features being incorporated into seating assemblies either separately or in any combination. The assemblies are configured principally for passenger aircraft but may be used elsewhere as appropriate or desired.

Abstract: In herringbone seats of the prior art, armrests on the closed angle side form an obstacle for the passengers in the seat in case of a shock, since the latter are generally projected along the axis of the vehicle and thus towards the armrest thus creating a high risk of injury for the passenger in case of a shock. The present invention. provides a secure herringbone arrangement for the armrest of a seat i.e. making it possible to reduce the risk injuries caused by the armrest, in case of a shock. Therefore, the present invention provides to leave a space between the seating part structure and the armrest to enable the passenger on the seat to be projected along the axis of the airplane in case of a shock without hitting the armrest. More precisely, the aim of the invention is a herringbone arrangement for the armrest of a seat (30) wherein the armrest (31) is angularly shifted with respect to the seat so as to form a free space (33) between the seat (30) and the armrest (31).

Abstract: Described are aircraft cabin modules including at least two seats positioned one behind the other and at least one upper berth positioned above at least one lower berth, each of said berths being associated with one of the seats. The upper berth extends over part of the length of the lower berth, but not all of the length thereof, in order to optimize the space in the cabin. The aircraft cabin may be equipped with two- or three-berth modules.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide airbags that are guided by the seat belt, but that are not installed or incorporated into the seat belt itself. The airbags may be installed on a seat side, seat backrest, or in the seat armrest. The airbags are associated with a guiding strip that uses the seat belt to guide the airbag into the proper position in front of the passenger.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide an airbag system designed to deploy from a privacy wall in a diagonal manner.

Abstract: Described are tray table assemblies having a table body, a support arm comprising a first end rotatably coupled to the table body, a linkage comprising a first end rotatably coupled to the table body, and a receptacle, wherein a second end of the support arm and a second end of the linkage are rotatably coupled to the receptacle. The table body may be configured to rotate within a substantially horizontal plane relative to the support arm, and the support arm and the linkage may be configured to rotate within a substantially horizontal plane relative to the receptacle.

Abstract: This invention concerns mainly a handle system with two locking latches (7,8) called “self-locking”, independent one from the other for locking, but fitted with a single unlocking paddle (6). This system is fitted with indicators, which: detect the door's opening and closing and indicate separately the locking of the two latches (7, 8).

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide systems and methods for locking a seat belt with respect to a fixed base frame to prevent movement of a movable seat portion in the event of a crash or crash-like condition on an aircraft.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide adjustable or convertible seats for use in aircraft and other passenger transport vehicles. The seats are designed to use non-parallel slides and a single actuator for certain movements of the seat.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide an airbag system designed to deploy from a privacy wall in a diagonal manner.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide an airbag system formed from non-traditional or asymmetric airbag shapes that deflect a vehicle occupant away from an interior vehicle structure.

Abstract: The invention essentially relates to an aeroplane seat base (110) characterised in that said base comprises: a plate (1) suitable for moving along a horizontal path between an extended position and a stored position, a supporting arm (4) of variable length having a first end (4.1) connected to the seat (8) by means of a first hinged joint having a vertical pin and a second end (4.2) connected to the plate (1) by means of a second hinged joint having a vertical pin, and a guide device (121) controlling the path of the plate (1) following a unique path.
