A passenger seat includes a seat back and a headrest supported on the seat back. The headrest includes a pair of opposing lateral sides, and the headrest may be adjustable relative to the seat back along an axis. A divider assembly having a divider may be attached to the headrest. The divider of the divider assembly is movable with the headrest relative to the seat back, and the divider may be movable relative to the headrest between a stowed position and a deployed position. In the deployed position, the divider extends forward from a first lateral side of the pair of opposing lateral sides of the headrest.

Described herein is a privacy panel for a passenger includes a main body positioned between adjacent passenger seats and an attachment mechanism removably coupled to the main body. The attachment mechanism may include a first attachment member couplable to an armrest of the passenger seat and a second attachment member coupled to the first attachment member. The second attachment member may be attachable to a fixed location on the passenger seat for preventing rotation of the armrest.

Privacy panel for a passenger seat

Described are passenger seats having a seat frame and a seat bottom slidingly and pivotally attached to the seat frame that, when the passenger seats are reclined, are configured to articulate forward from an upright configuration of the passenger seat to a second seat position corresponding to a reclined configuration of the passenger seat. The seat bottom can include an aft articulating mechanism that defines a declining first path in an aft-to-forward direction to cause the aft end of the seat bottom to drop when the seat bottom articulates forward; and a forward articulating mechanism connected with the seat bottom near a forward end of the seat bottom that defines a second path shaped to cause the forward end of the seat bottom to move upward when the seat bottom articulates forward, such that the seat bottom tilts aft in response to articulating forward when the passenger seat is reclined.

A passenger seat for a passenger vehicle including but not limited to an aircraft may include a seat base, a seat back, and an energy absorption system. The energy absorption system is spherically coupled to the seat base and spherically coupled to the seat back, and includes a dampening member and a support assembly. The dampening member is movable relative to the support assembly responsive to a load applied on the seat back such that engagement between the support assembly and the dampening member dampens the load.

A separable multiple-piece frame assembly () for a passenger seat of a vehicle includes a first spreader portion () with an inner face, a second spreader portion () with an inner face, a plurality of attachments () for releasably attaching the first spreader portion () and the second spreader portion (), and an attached configuration. In the attached configuration, the inner face of the first spreader portion and the inner face of the second spreader portion are in contact with one another.

Separable multiple-piece frame assembly

A central frame assembly for a passenger seat of a vehicle includes a spreader member () and a lower frame member () comprising at least one clamp member () for securing the lower frame member () relative to the spreader member (). The lower frame member () may include a vertical portion () with a forward lower attachment portion () and an aft portion () with an aft lower attachment portion (). The spreader member () and the lower frame member () may be aligned such that a centerline of the spreader member () and a centerline of the lower frame member () are approximately coplanar.

Described are passenger seat backs having tray tables pivotally coupled to the seat back frame and which rotate about a single axis. The tray table () may be directly connected to the seat back frame () without the need for a complex and heavy multi-axis pivot. The resulting seat and associated tray table are lighter, more compact, and easier to manufacture.

Easy install tray table

Described are tray table assemblies comprising a table body including a frame. The frame is formed of an upper bar and a lower bar that connect a pair of slide guides, wherein the upper bar, the lower bar, and the pair of slide guides are integrally formed as a single piece.
