An aircraft seat may include an integrated motion control system. The motion control system may include one or more user controlled sub-systems. Each sub-system may include at least one of a user control device, a lever arm, and a metering pin assembly. The lever arm may couple to the user control device and synchronously transmit a force to one or more cables in response to an actuation of the user control device. The metering pin assembly may include a metering pin which may be configured to attach to an end portion of the one or more cables and receive a force from the one or more cables causing the respective control sub-system to execute an adjustment control operation. The adjustment control operation may include a vertical position adjustment, a swivel position adjustment, or a track position adjustment.

Motion control system for an aircraft seat

An aircraft seat may include an integrated tracking system. The tracking system may include at least one track foot and one or more roller bearings. The track foot may include one or more axles and be able to interface with a portion of an aircraft seat track. The one or more roller bearings may be coupled to the one or more axles of the track foot and interface with a top surface of the aircraft seat track to aid in the translation of the aircraft seat.

Tracking system for an aircraft seat

An aircraft seating system may include an integrated track locking system. The track locking system may include a track lock. The track lock may include a base fitting, securing the seat to the seat track when the seat track feet are between a metered position. The track lock may also include a shaft, a locking hole, and a confinement hole. The track locking system may include a through hole, where the shaft of the track lock is able to fit within the through hole. The track locking system may include a locking cavity. The track locking system may include one or more recesses on at least one face of the locking cavity. The track locking system may include a locking member secured by the one or more recesses and the locking hole. The track locking system may include a confinement member secured by the confinement hole via the through hole.

A leg rest assembly is disclosed. The assembly may include a support sub-assembly configured to provide at least one of leg support or foot support. The support sub-assembly may include a panel and a support cushion. The support cushion may include a cavity defined by one or more surfaces of the support cushion. The assembly may include a translation sub-assembly configured to translate the support sub-assembly. The translation sub-assembly may include one or more translation arms. The translation sub-assembly may include one or more guide rails. The translation sub-assembly may include one or more linear bearings configured to engage with the one or more guide rails, the one or more linear bears slideable along a length of the one or more guide rails. The translation sub-assembly may include one or more translation devices configured to translate the support sub-assembly between a first position and one or more additional positions.

A flexible actuation assembly for an aircraft component may include a flexible linkage including at least one primary element. The at least one primary element may be coupled to at least one locking pin of the flexible actuation assembly via at least one interlocking assembly. The flexible linkage may be coupled to an actuator of an aircraft component. The flexible linkage may be configured to retract the at least one locking pin from a lock position when a load applied to the actuator is translated through the flexible linkage. The flexible linkage may be fabricated from a material with a spring force able to return the at least one locking pin to the lock position when the load is removed from the actuator.

A cabin attendant aircraft tray table may include a front section of a body, a rear section of the body, and at least one hinge coupling the front section and the rear section. The front section may be configured to actuate relative to the rear section via the at least one hinge between a stowed position, a personal electronic device (PED) position, and a tray position. The cabin attendant aircraft tray table may be stowable in a cavity defined within a frame of a cabin attendant aircraft seat assembly when the front section is in the stowed position. The front section may be held in place relative to the rear section via a mechanical assembly when the front section is in the PED position, and may be configured to receive and support a PED when the front section is in the PED position.

An aircraft seat system is disclosed, in accordance with one or more embodiments of the present disclosure. In one embodiment, the aircraft seat system includes a seat casement; a headrest portion; a seat back portion; a seat pan; and one or more armrests pivotably coupled to one or more portions of the seat casement. In another embodiment, the one or more armrests include an armrest body; a rotator link system; and a pivot link system. In another embodiment, the pivot link system may be configured to pivotably extend the armrest cap and pivotably retract the armrest cap.

Extendable armrest with automatic retraction features

A seat is disclosed. The seat includes a frame, a seat pan connected to the frame and a backrest. The backrest includes a main panel, an upper panel hingedly connected to the main panel and a lower panel hingedly connected to the main panel. The upper panel is connected to the frame and the lower panel is connected to the seat pan.

Seat backrest

A stowable seat is provided. The stowable seat may comprise a housing and a first track coupled to the housing. A backrest may be slidably coupled to the first track. A seat pan may be rotatable relative to the backrest. A second track may be in operable communication with the seat pan. An angle between the seat pan and the second track may increase as the seat pan translates away from the housing.

Stowable seat with pivoting seat pan for advanced comfort

A securement mechanism for a storage compartment in a seat headrest may comprise a housing tray and a first latch disposed in the housing tray. A release button may be disposed in the housing tray and may contact the first latch. The release button may be configured to be substantially coplanar with the housing tray when the securement mechanism is in a secured position.

Low-profile latch interface for headrest storage compartment

A legrest for a stowable seat may comprise a legrest chassis comprising a first end and a second end, the first end being located opposite the second end, a footrest opening disposed in the second end, and an extendable footrest configured to at least one of extend from and retract into the footrest opening. The legrest may be configured to be coupled to the stowable seat at the first end.
