Patent number: 10384784Abstract: A table leg has a first connector for connecting the table leg in pivotable engagement with a seat such that the table leg is pivotable between first and second leg positions, and a mating part for restricting movement of the table leg relative to the seat. The mating part is for allowing removal of the table leg from the seat when the table leg is in the first leg position and for preventing removal of the table leg from the seat when the table leg is in the second leg position.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2017Date of Patent: August 20, 2019Assignee: Acro Aircraft Seating LimitedInventors: Adam Challenor, Toby Hugh

Patent number: 10266085Abstract: Described is a seat back comprising a curved rear wall bordered by a perimeter wall projecting forward from the rear wall. The curved rear wall and perimeter wall define a cavity in front of the rear wall and between opposing surfaces of the perimeter wall. The seat back comprises an upper part and a lower part. The lower part comprises a surface of the rear wall which is curved forward toward each side wall of the lower part and curved forward toward the base of the lower part. The width of the seat back tapers from a first width towards a second width at the base of the seat back.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2017Date of Patent: April 23, 2019Assignee: Acro Aircraft Seating LimitedInventors: Adam Challenor, Alex Hodgkinson, James Bowker, Joseph Conroy

Publication number: 20180111566Abstract: Described herein is a seat attachment for covering at least part of a seat back. The seat attachment comprises a body for positioning against a seat back and a support removably attached to the body and/or removably attachable to the seat back. The support is for supporting literature between the support and the seat back. Also described is a kit comprising the seat attachment and one or more additional supports. Further described is a seat comprising a seat attachment.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 20, 2017Publication date: April 26, 2018Applicant: Acro Aircraft Seating LimitedInventors: Toby Hugh, Adam Challenor

Publication number: 20060081426Abstract: A brake pad for a disc brake has first and second abutment surfaces disposed toward opposite respective ends of the brake pad for mounting the brake pad in the disc brake and, in use, reacting a braking torque acting on the brake pad. The first abutment surface is centered above a neutral moment axis of the pad and facing in a first direction to react a braking torque generated in use during braking of a disc of the disc brake rotating in a particular direction. The second mounting abutment surface is centered below the neutral moment axis, and faces in the same first direction as the first abutment surface to also similarly react the braking torque generated during braking of a disc of the disc brake rotating in the particular direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 13, 2005Publication date: April 20, 2006Inventor: Adam Challenor

Patent number: 6712184Abstract: A disc brake (3) of the kind comprising an axially fixed hub (2) and at least one slidable brake disc (4, 6) comprises resilient means (10) acting between the disc (4, 6) and the hub (2) to control certain aspects of the movement of the brake disc (4, 6) during use. The resilient means (10), is of a leaf spring format, acting between the disc (12, 14) and the hub to control the disc dynamics is mounted on the disc (4, 6). This leads to advantages in terms of spring structure and cost and independence of the resilient bias with respect to disc position and disc (12, 14) relationship to another disc (if present) and with respect to simplicity of mounting and avoidance of dirt entrapment. The mounting of the resilient means comprising clipping the resilient means over a drive key (12) of the disc (4, 6) though an aperture (23) defined within the resilient means (10) and having associated stiffening elements or strips (26a, 26b).Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2001Date of Patent: March 30, 2004Assignee: Delphi Technologies, Inc.Inventors: William Anthony Thorpe, Adam Challenor
