  • Publication number: 20240051439
    Abstract: A vehicle seat configured to be fixed in a vehicle is defined. The vehicle seat comprises a seat back configured such that when the seat is fixed in the vehicle there is a gap between a lower edge of the seat back and a floor of the vehicle to enable wheels of a wheelchair to protrude through the gap. The vehicle seat further comprises a seat base wherein the seat base is either: foldable between a first position in which the seat base acts as a base to the seat and a second position in which the seat base is stowed against the seat back; or removable from the seat back. The seat base is foldable or removable to allow the seat base to be stowed when the seat is used by the wheelchair.

  • Patent number: 11674310
    Abstract: There is disclosed a relocatable internal wall panel, kit and system for a room having a floor and ceiling. The wall panel comprises a first wall portion and a second wall portion having opposed planar surfaces to define a void. The first wall portion is at least partly received within the void defined within the second wall portion in a retracted position and reversibly extendable therefrom such that in the extended position the upper edge of the first wall portion bears against the ceiling of the room.

  • Patent number: 9481462
    Abstract: Elongate passenger service unit (PSU) assemblies are comprised of a plurality of modular passenger service units, and a plurality of variable-length modular spacer units. The modular spacer units are positioned between the modular passenger service units in an end-to-end manner so as to provide a desired lengthwise array of the passenger service units along the PSU assembly. Transport category vehicles, e.g., aircraft, may thus be provided with inboard and outboard PSU assemblies. The passenger seats may be arranged in a latitudinally side-by-side arrangement and/or may be arranged in a longitudinally staggered arrangement. By providing variable length modular spacer units, therefore, the individual passenger service units may be arranged directly overhead of each passenger seat.

  • Patent number: 9327834
    Abstract: Overhead bin assembly for transport vehicles (e.g., transport category aircraft) are provided with a generally U-shaped bin shell having a bottom wall, an outboard end wall and an upper wall defining an interior stowage space having an inboard opening opposite the end wall. A pair of separated transverse bin supports defining a bin space therebetween may be provided along with a bin door for closing the inboard opening. A cantilever hinge may be provided so as to connect the bin door to the transverse bin support in a cantilever manner to allow for pivotal movement of the bin door between closed and open positions relative to the inboard opening. An arcuate recessed wall may be positioned inboard relative to the upper wall of the bin shell (e.g., as a unitary (one-piece) extension thereof) such that the bin door is received within the recessed wall when in the open position thereof.
