  • Leg restraint system with compliance indicator
    Patent number: 12296960
    Abstract: A leg restraint system for a side facing seat provided in an aircraft or other conveyance. The system includes a leg restraining device including a panel configured to deploy along a deployment path when a sensed condition is met, a sensor configured to monitor the deployment path, and an indicator configured to indicate information regarding the monitored deployment path. A controller communicatively coupled to the sensor and indicator receives information and instructs the indicator to indicate a compliance status of the leg restraining device. In embodiments, an object positioned in the deployment path of the leg restraining device causes a noncompliant status to be indicated to a seated occupant thereby causing corrective action to be taken such that the leg restraining device can be operated as intended.
