  • Patent number: 12240606
    Abstract: A monitor stop system is disclosed. The system may include a top-tilting monitor. The system may also include a monitor shroud including a tab configured to prevent the monitor from actuating to the deployed position during an HIC event. The system may further include one or more monitor stop devices. Each monitor stop device may include a spring-loaded pin assembly and a housing configured to surround at least a portion of the spring-loaded assembly. The tab may be configured to translate towards an interior surface of the seatback bezel and may be configured to cause the pin to translate through one or more monitor stop openings of the seatback bezel. Upon the pin translating, the pin may be configured to capture at least a portion of the top-tilting monitor to prevent the top-tilting monitor from actuating to the deployed position during the HIC event.

  • Patent number: 11492124
    Abstract: A retention system for an aircraft seat dress cover defines a cable channel sewn around the periphery of a back portion. A cable in the cable channel is tightened to tighten the aircraft seat dress cover around an aircraft seat back. Adjustable buckles at terminals of the cable interlock and allow the cable to be tightened. A midpoint strap is disposed on opposing sides of the periphery to allow the aircraft seat dress cover to more fully conform to the structure of the aircraft seat.
