Examples provide a door assembly including a sliding door carrier unit having a disengagement mechanism for utilization within a vehicle cabin. The door assembly includes a sliding door movably mounted to a door support member of a seat unit. The door slides laterally between a fully retracted position and a deployed or partially deployed position. A decoupling latch is engaged to detach the sliding door from one or more slide units on the door support member. An auxiliary slide device includes at least one guide and guide profile to support the door and enable the door to return to the retracted position after the door is decoupled from the slide unit in a backup operational mode. The decoupling mechanism enables a user to return the sliding door to a fully retracted position after a failure of the slide units to operate in a normal operational mode.

Door assembly slide unit disengagement system

A door assembly for a seat unit provided within a vehicle cabin, in particular an aircraft cabin, the door assembly comprising at least a fixed base structure, a door element movably mounted on the base structure and which is movable between a fully retracted position and at least one deployed position, and a door slide device provided between the base structure and the door element to movably support the door element on the base structure. Further, the door slide device comprises at least a slide carrier bracket fixed to the base structure or the door element, at least one slide unit which is coupled to the slide carrier bracket in a normal operation mode, and at least one separate auxiliary slide arrangement.

Door assembly and seat unit

A seat assembly for a vehicle includes a backrest. A tray table is moveably coupled to the backrest. The tray table is configured to be moved between a stowed position and a deployed position. A literature pocket is formed in the backrest. The literature pocket is disposed between the tray table in the stowed position and a rear surface of the backrest. In an embodiment, a device support is moveably coupled to the literature pocket. The device support is moveable between a support stowed position and a support deployed position that is configured to support a device.

Compact seat assembly for a vehicle

Components and systems of an aircraft seating assembly are disclosed. The aircraft seating assembly can include a seat pan, a connection frame, and one or more mounts for removably coupling the seat pan to the connection frame. The aircraft seating assembly can include a back support having a removably coupled cushioning member. The aircraft seating assembly can include a tilt system which can allow the back support to articulate relative to the connection frame. The aircraft seating assembly can include a retention system coupled to the back support, the retention system can retain an object in place when in a closed configuration.
