Abstract: A dampened hinge construction for braking pivoting movement of one structure relative to another. The dampened hinge construction can be utilized in a folding table assembly in an aircraft passenger suite including a base panel and at least one folding panel pivotally attached to the base panel by multiple dampened hinges. Each dampened hinge includes a first assembly attachable to a first structure and a second assembly attachable to a second structure such that the first structure is pivotable relative to the second structure between a first condition and a second condition, such as a folded condition and a planar condition, and at least one damper that brakes pivoting movement of the first structure relative to the second structure as the first condition or second condition is approached.

Abstract: A system is disclosed. The system includes a passenger seat. The passenger seat includes a seatback comprising one or more guide tracks and a headrest configured to couple to the seatback. The headrest includes a head portion and a lumbar portion. The lumbar portion is configured to separate from the head portion and translate to a lumbar portion of the seatback. The lumbar portion includes one or more brackets configured to slide along the one or more guide tracks. The passenger seat further includes a translation assembly mechanically coupled to the seatback and the lumbar portion. The translation assembly includes a cable coupled to the one or more brackets, wherein a movement of the cable corresponds to a translation of the lumbar portion. The translation assembly further includes a cable route. The translation assembly further includes one or more pulleys configured to guide the cable through the cable route.

Abstract: An extending hanger assembly, for a wardrobe system having an enclosure and a door pivotable between open and closed positions, includes: a base on which an article support peg is mounted for linear translation; a mechanism operative to move the article support peg linearly relative to the base; and a control link coupling the door to the mechanism, whereby, upon opening and closing of the door, the control link operates the mechanism to translate the article support peg in opposing linear directions. The mechanism operative to move the article support peg linearly relative to the base can be a scissor mechanism having a proximal end extending toward the door and a distal end extending away from the door, wherein the distal end is attached to the base, and the proximal end is attached to a traveling bracket that carries the article support peg.

Abstract: A wardrobe includes a rear wall, a sidewall, and a door pivotally attached to the sidewall defining an enclosure. An articulating hanger mechanism includes a support arm pivotally attached to the sidewall, and a link device pivotally attached to the door and to the support arm. Hanger arms pivotally attached to the support arm have stowed positions at which they extend along two opposite sides of the support arm. Coupling links are pivotally attached to the hanger arms for pivoting the hanger arms from the stowed positions to deployed positions at which the hanger arms extend outward from the support arm to support a garment. Upon user action pivoting the door from the closed position, the link device automatically pivots the support arm outward from the enclosure and the coupling links pivot the hanger arms from the stowed positions to the deployed positions.
