Patent number: 11560231Abstract: A seating assembly may employ one or more of: a seat stagger, a seat overlap, and a seat angling to offer significant width and comfort gains and reduce the negative impact of width and leg room gains on seating density. With one seat of a pair staggered forward with respect to the other seat each may then be moved laterally and overlap (as seen from the front). The seating positions may be further improved by angling each seat away from their center arm rest area, reducing the encroaching effect of the overlap by pointing the passenger away from the overlap, reducing the visual impact of the staggered seating by pointing the passenger away from the nearest seat ahead, and improving leg room by directing the passenger's legs forward at an angle.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2021Date of Patent: January 24, 2023Assignee: ACLA Studio LLCInventors: Victor Carlioz, Matthew Cleary

Publication number: 20220033082Abstract: A seating assembly provides direct aisle access for each seat in a row by employing a seat angling with respect to a cabin centerline. The seat angling opens up an area behind each seat back. Seat density may be increased by staggering the seats such that the opened area behind a forward row may be used to provide an armrest for a passenger in a next row. Seat density may be even further increased by overlapping the assemblies (as seen facing the seat) such that: the armrest for the forward row seat overlaps the legroom of the next row seat.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 30, 2021Publication date: February 3, 2022Applicant: ACLA Studio LLCInventors: Andrew Greenbaum, Victor Carlioz, Matthew Cleary
