Abstract: An attachment assembly for mounting a seat frame to a floor of a vehicle, the assembly including a floor mount secured to the floor, a foot fitting connected to the floor mount, the foot fitting having a connection portion adapted to mate with a leg of a seat frame, the connection portion having an opening extending therethrough, and an articulating connection attached to the leg portion and extending through the opening in the connection portion. An articulating foot fitting is also disclosed.

Abstract: A seat belt assembly capable of extending from a seat back, the assembly including a frame attached to a seat, an extension member slidably mounted to the frame, an inertial locking reel, and a seat belt positioned within the frame in contact with the extension member, the seat belt having a first end engaged with the inertial locking reel and a second end extending from the extension member.

Abstract: A reclining chair, in particular a passenger chair, for use in a vehicle such as an aircraft, bus or mobile home. The chair includes a base assembly, a seat frame located above the base assembly, a seat attached to the seat frame, and a seat back connected to the seat frame. In various embodiments, the chair includes features such as an energy absorbing base assembly, an adjustable arm rest, a fully reclining seat back and a seat that increases its angle with respect to the horizontal as the seat back reclines, thereby forcing one back into the chair. The seat and seat back is also capable of achieving a fully horizontal position when the seat back is fully reclined.
