  • Patent number: 8915196
    Abstract: An aircraft table system includes a table member configured to move reversibly from an undeployed position to a deployed position, coupled to a movable sled member. The system may further include one or more rollers in conjunction with one or more guide rails to facilitate the motion of the sled member. The system may further include a spine member with one or more holes in conjunction with one or more bolts and one or more cables to hold the sled and table members in place. The system may further include a spine member in conjunction with one or more spring reel elements and one or more cables to impart an assisting or resisting force on the sled member.

  • Patent number: 8205562
    Abstract: An aircraft table system includes a table member coupled to a sled member. When the table member is adjusted to a partially deployed position, movable bolts on the sled member are received by holes in a spine member such that the sled member and the coupled table member are supported by the spine member on the received bolts. Cables may be coupled between the bolts and the table member such that when the table member is adjusted from a deployed position to an undeployed position, the bolts are pulled from the corresponding holes in the spine member, freeing the sled member to move relative to the spine member.

  • Patent number: 8205564
    Abstract: An aircraft table system includes a table member, a sled member, and a spine member. The sled member moves reversibly on the spine member between a lower sled position and an upper sled position. The system further includes one or more spring elements coupled to the sled member. One or more cables may be coupled between the spine member and the spring elements such that the spring elements impart and/or maintain tension on the cables. The tension may be at least partially converted into an upward force imparted on the sled member.

  • Patent number: 6669250
    Abstract: A push-push latch may include a body and a lever arm that is rotatively coupled to the body. A toggle may be coupled to the lever arm and the body. A pin of the toggle may be positioned within a groove in the body of the latch. When the pin is in a first stable position in the groove, an end of the lever arm is positioned away from the body, and the latch is open. When the pin is in a second stable position, the end of the lever arm is near the body, and the latch is closed. A torsion spring, which may be coupled between the body and the lever arm, moves the pin to either the first stable position or the second stable position during use. When the latch is open, applying a closing force to the latch rotates the lever arm towards the body and causes the pin to move from the first position to the second position when the closing force is removed.
