Abstract: A passenger seat for facilitating seating passengers with reduced mobilities (PRM) in a conveyance such as an aircraft. The passenger seat includes a motion subassembly and a decoupling mechanism configured to couple the motion assembly to the seat back, and decouple the motion assembly from the seat back to lock the seat back in an upright position such that the passenger seat can be translated forward to a position nearer, for example, an aisle. In use, decoupling and seat back locking occur in a synchronous manner, as does coupling and seat back unlocking action thereby allowing seat back recline motion. In embodiments, the passenger seat includes a manual release lever for actuating the decoupling mechanism to decouple the seat back motion subassembly.

Abstract: The invention provides a container formed of a synthetic plastics material. The container includes a base having a plurality of sides. A side wall is connected to each side of the base via a hinge arrangement for displacement between a collapsed condition, and an erect condition in which the side walls extend upwardly from the base such that at least part of each side wall abuts against the base at a position spaced inwardly from an edge of the base. This arrangement ensures that loads are transmitted between the side walls and the base at positions spaced inwardly from the edges of the base. The container also includes locking means for locking the side walls in their erect condition. The invention further provides a container blank from which the container can be formed.
