Abstract: A dress cover for an extendable cushion may include a first section and at least a second section. The first section may be fabricated from a first, expandable material and the at least a second section may be fabricated from at least a second material. The first section may include a compressed top surface length when the extendable cushion is in a retracted state, and an expanded top surface length when the extendable cushion is in an extended state. The expanded top surface length may be greater than the compressed top surface length. The dress cover may be configured to have a smooth side profile when the extendable cushion is in either of the retracted state or the extended state. The side profile of the dress cover may be viewable when an aircraft seat including the extendable cushion with the dress cover is in a lie-flat or bed position.

Abstract: A system may include a surface, a pocket member, and spring members. The pocket member may have a top portion, a bottom portion, an exterior side, and an interior side. Each spring member may be positioned vertically between the surface and the interior side of the pocket member. Each spring member may have a spring top portion and a spring bottom portion. Each of the spring top portions may be attached to the top portion of the pocket member. Each of the spring bottom portions may be attached to the surface at a location corresponding to a vertical position of the bottom portion of the pocket member. The surface, the pocket member, and the spring members may form a pocket configured to at a given time be one of: open at the top portion of the pocket member, open at the bottom portion of the pocket member, or closed.

Abstract: A dress cover installable over a seatback of a passenger seat and having an integrated adjustable lumbar support device is disclosed. In embodiments, the dress cover includes a fabric outer shell and a seat cushion within the outer shell. The lumbar support device is disposed inside a pocket set into the dress cover and corresponding to the lumbar area of the seat occupant. The pocket extends laterally between left-side and right-side slots, each slot held closed by a zipper within which a slider tracks up and down to adjust the lumbar support device. As the slider tracks along the zipper it opens and closes the zipper within the body of the slider, maintaining its slot in a closed configuration. By adjusting the sliders up or down, the occupant may adjust the position of the lumbar support device through the dress cover.

Abstract: A vertical seat blocking/divider device includes a seat back connector and a seat cushion connector. The vertical seat blocking/divider device is disposed on the center of an aircraft seat to block occupancy of the aircraft seat and establish a barrier between neighboring seats. In a further aspect, the vertical seat blocking/divider device includes a spring element to apply a force to the fabric of the seat blocking/divider device. In a further aspect, the vertical seat blocking/divider device may include armrest connectors on opposing surfaces so that the vertical seat blocking/divider device can be disposed between occupied seats to create a barrier between passengers.

Abstract: An interlocking module including a panel and one or more trapezoidal elongations extending from any of the first end face, the second end face, the first side face, the second end face, the upper face or the lower face of the panel, wherein the one or more trapezoidal elongations each include a dovetail joint. The interlocking module further including one or more members, wherein each of the one or more members emanates from each of the one or more trapezoidal elongations, and wherein each of the one or more members emanates in a perpendicular direction relative to each of the upper and the lower faces of the panel. The upper face includes a plurality of apertures, wherein each of the plurality of apertures is configured for receiving a pin from a member of a second module for interlocking the second module and a first module. The panel and the one or more members of the interlocking module define a void space for receiving a standard sized building block within the void space.

Abstract: A multi-function seat cushion including an inner layer adapted to resist compression in response to force applied in a longitudinal direction of the inner layer, and compress in response to force applied in a transverse direction of the inner layer, such that the multi-function seat cushion can be used as an armrest or armrest extension when in a first orientation, and can be used as a lumbar support when oriented in a second orientation different from the first orientation.
