    Abstract: A mist delivery system includes an enclosure having at least one misting nozzle coupled thereto. The enclosure includes a primary wall and a secondary wall, whereby an air channel is defined between the primary wall and the secondary wall. A controller directs misted air through the misting nozzle and further activates an air flow system such that misted air within the shower area flows through and is dried in the air channel.

  • Patent number: 4460215
    Abstract: A lightweight, compact flight attendant's folding seat assembly is mounted by a plurality of separate brackets to a wall in an aircraft cabin such that the well serves as a connective support structure for various subcomponents of the seat assembly. When the seat pan is pulled down into an open position against a seat return spring, cams actuated by a seat pan frame push forward on a swingably mounted seat back frame forcing the seat back into a downwardly and forwardly sloping seating orientation. The seat back frame and cooperating cams are constructed and arranged in such a way that any rearward force exerted by the occupant against the seat back frame is reacted through the cams into the supporting wall, via the mounting brackets, wherein the intervening cams transmit the load in compression and without being subjected to rotative moment so that the seat pan is not forced to close on the seated occupant.
