  • Springless dress cover and lower closeout system for passenger seat
    Patent number: 11845557
    Abstract: A springless lower closeout system for a passenger seat includes left-side and right-side seat spreaders defining a lower aft portion of the passenger seat between them. Each seat spreader includes a restrictive channel extending along the left and right sides of the seat spreader, oriented toward the lower aft portion of the passenger seat. A dress cover extends in a taut state between the left-side and right-side seat spreaders. The dress cover includes cord elements on its left and right edges, the cord elements insertable into the left-side restrictive channels to directly connect the dress cover to the seat spreaders, closing out the lower aft portion of the passenger seat. A zipper or fastener connecting the dress cover and either edge may be partially unfastened to adjust the tension of the dress cover and facilitate attachment or removal of the cord elements to or from the restrictive channels.
