  • Patent number: 9567085
    Abstract: A divider unit (100) for a passenger seat has a slide rail (120) that is fixed onto a side shell (12) surrounding the seat. A plate-like divider (150) is equipped with two linear guides (170) inserted in the slide rail (120) and slides within the slide rail (120). A stopper (130) attached to a front end of the slide rail (120) has a tapered surface (132), and the divider (150) is stopped when a front end of the divider (150) rides over the tapered surface (132), thereby preventing generation of collision noise.
