Abstract: A headrest removal assembly is disclosed. The assembly may include a plunger including a plunger shaft and lever portion. The assembly may include a compressible spring coupled to the plunger and configured to surround at least a portion of the plunger shaft. The plunger configured to translate the stopper between at least a first position and a second position when a force is applied to the lever portion of the plunger to cause the plunger to compress a portion of the compressible spring within the cavity of the base to cause the stopper to disengage from the cavity within the headrest support plate to cause the headrest removal assembly to disengage from the headrest support plate.

Abstract: An aircraft tray table retention assembly may include a seat magnetic component installed within a rear bezel of an aircraft seat, and a tray table magnetic component installed within an aircraft tray table. The aircraft tray table may be coupled to the aircraft seat via at least one of one or more hinges or a set of rails, and may be configured to actuate between a stowed position and a deployed position via the at least one of one or more hinges or a set of rails. The tray table magnetic component may be configured to engage the seat magnetic component when the aircraft tray table is in the stowed position. The aircraft tray table retention assembly may include a tray magnetic component configured to engage the tray table magnetic component when the aircraft tray table is in the deployed position.

Abstract: An upper shell for an aircraft seat may include a main body, and an upper pocket. The upper pocket may include a pocket flap coupled to the main body via at least one pocket flap hinge. The upper pocket may include a pocket cavity defined within the main body. The pocket cavity may be accessible following an actuation of the pocket flap into a pocket flap open position via the at least one pocket flap hinge. The pocket flap may be configured to cover at least a portion of the pocket cavity when the pocket flap is in a pocket flap closed position. The upper shell for the aircraft seat may include a personal electronic device (PED) holder assembly with a PED cavity defined within an area of the upper pocket, and a PED holder configured to fit within the PED cavity when in a PED holder closed position.

Abstract: An apparatus for an aircraft cabin may include a body and a personal electronic device (PED) holder. The body may include a sloped surface between a top surface and a recess surface with a plurality of recess protrusions configured to support a PED. The body may be couplable to a surface within the aircraft cabin via one or more couplers. The PED holder may include a paddle and at least one hinge coupler. The paddle may be located opposite the sloped surface within the recess. The paddle may be dimensioned to fit within the recess when the PED holder is in a closed position. The paddle may be configured to support the PED when the PED holder is in an open position. The PED holder may be configured to rotate about an axis through the at least one hinge coupler between at least the open position and the closed position.

Abstract: An adjustable headrest assembly attachable to a seat back and including a linear slide and rotating links that allow the headrest to translate forward, laterally and/or about axes parallel to the seat back to provide head support in various positions. The headrest may further include lateral parts independently adjustable in angle relative to a center part to provide enhanced lateral head support. The adjustable headrest assembly is attachable to a front side of a seat back or to other adjustment mechanisms such as a vertical adjustment mechanism for moving the headrest assembly up or down relative to a seat back.

Abstract: A seat gap guarding apparatus is disclosed. In embodiments, the seat gap guarding apparatus includes a support member configured to be coupled to a repositionable seat and one or more deformable guard members fixed to the support member. The one or more deformable guard members are configured to press against a surface adjacent to the repositionable seat to keep objects and/or debris from falling into the gap between the repositionable seat and the surface adjacent to the repositionable seat. When the repositionable seat is transitioned from a first position to a second position, the support member is configured to maintain the one or more deformable guard members pressed against the surface adjacent to the repositionable seat.
