An aircraft divan, for use within a passenger compartment of an aircraft, that includes a strong rigid base structure adapted to be secured to a support surface within the aircraft and including a plurality of substantially strong, yet lightweight frame members. A plurality of substantially strong, yet lightweight connectors, each one of the connectors being structured and disposed to connectingly receive at least two of the frame members, including an exterior wall structure defining at least one interior cavity and at least two frame member receiving openings, and comprising a first interlocking segment and a second interlocking segment, the first interlocking segment structured to at least partially receive the second interlocking segment and the first and second interlocking segments being structured to be interlockingly connected with one another in sandwiching relation about at least one end zone of the frame members. Moreover, each of the frame member receiving openings is structured and disposed to receive and surround one of the end zones of one of the frame members therethrough and to maintain the end zone of the frame member fastened in a secured, fixed position within the interior cavity of the connector.

Aircraft divan

An aircraft passenger seat swivel assembly to be connected between an aircraft seat frame upon which an individual sits and an aircraft seat base which is secured to an underlying support surface, the assembly including a bottom swivel plate with a generally annular recess formed therein and structured to receive a bearing track with a plurality of slots disposed about a perimeter thereof and structured to receive a plurality of bearing members therein. The swivel assembly further including a swivel plate with an exterior segment structured to ride on the bearing members disposed in the bearing track and an interior mount segment upon which the aircraft frame is mounted, the exterior segment of the swivel plate being rotatably retained in place by a lock ring which is secured to the bottom swivel plate and has an annular lock recess to retain the exterior segment of the swivel plate, the bearing track, and the plurality of bearing members in the annular recess of the bottom swivel plate. Additionally, the lock ring includes a plurality of axially oriented notches along an interior perimeter thereof, the notches being structured to receive a lock pin which is secured to the swivel plate and is structured to extend axially outward into the axial notch of the lock ring to prevent relative rotation between the seat frame and the seat base.
