Abstract: A track fastener assembly for securing a seat or cargo apparatus to a floor track of a vehicle. The assembly includes a base with a longitudinal slot formed therein, and a ramp disposed in its upper surface near the forward end of the slot. A movable slide carrying locking studs runs in the longitudinal slot. A locking rod having a helical groove formed in its outer surface is operatively connected to the base and the slide. Rotation of the locking rod causes the slide to move axially along the longitudinal slot from an installation position near the aft end of the base to a locking position near the forward end of the base. As the slide moves to the locking position, the slide engages the ramp in the base, thereby deflecting the slide with the attached locking studs upwards and clamping the track fastener assembly to the track.

Abstract: A passenger seat with privacy shell, including a seat base and seat bottom with a seat back carried by the seat base. A recline unit is provided for controlling movement of the seat back and locking the seat back in a desired recline position. An occupant-activated seat back recline control is provided for permitting movement of the seat back a desired position between an upright position and a recline position. A privacy shell is positioned on opposing lateral sides of the seat back and mounted for movement between a retracted position wherein the shell permits unimpeded lateral vision by the passenger seated in the seat, and a deployed position wherein the shell impedes lateral observation of the passenger seated in the seat, thereby providing privacy when desired by the passenger.
