A mechanism for winding a cord includes a storage space in which a cord is wound around a central axis. The storage space includes a first storage space which is provided to allow the cord to be wound in one row, in a predetermined direction intersecting a direction of the central axis, and has a first height in a direction perpendicular to the predetermined direction that is substantially the same as a diameter of the cord, and a second storage space which is provided on one or both of an outer circumference and an inner circumference of the first storage space, has a second height along the direction of the central axis that is at least twice the diameter of the cord, and is provided to allow the cord to be wound in a plurality of rows along the central axis.

Mechanism for winding cord

A first engaging part is located on an outer surface of a cord reel and protrudes in a first direction orthogonal to a rotation axis of the cord reel. A second engaging part is located on the outer surface of the cord reel at a position different from the first engaging part in a second direction along the rotation axis. A holder base has an opening through which the cord reel can be inserted in the second direction. One or more notches are formed along the outer periphery of the opening of the holder base and allows the first engaging part to pass therethrough in the second direction. When the cord reel is attached to the holder, the holder base is disposed between the first engaging part and the second engaging part in the second direction.

Attachment structure for cord reel, and apparatus including cord reel and holder

An apparatus includes a handset and a cradle that removably holds the handset. In the cradle, the storage section is disposed in the main body, includes a recess formed from a bottom surface, two side surfaces extending along a longitudinal direction, and two end surfaces extending along a lateral direction that crosses the longitudinal direction, and can accommodate the entire length of the handset. The cord insertion portion is open at a first end surface of the two end surfaces. A cord of the electronic terminal passes through the cord insertion portion. The push-up member is disposed so as to retractably project from the bottom surface of the storage section, and abuts against the handset stored in the storage portion. The handset is stored in the storage section so as to form a space between the handset and the bottom surface of the storage section, and can pivot to the first end surface side due to the push-up member projecting.

Display system for seatback mounting

A monitor device including: a display section having a display surface; an operation section disposed at a bottom of the display section and having an operation surface substantially parallel to the display surface; a connecting section disposed at a lateral side of the operation section and having a connecting surface tilted downward relative to the display surface; and a surface switching section that connects the operation surface and the connecting surface to each other, and a normal of the display surface and a normal of the connecting surface form an acute angle.

Monitor device having a connecting surface tilted downward

A noise reduction device is used together with a shell which surrounds at least a part of the periphery of reclinable seat. The device includes a plurality of noise microphones, a noise controller, and control speakers. Control speakers output a sound based on a control-sound signal that is generated by the noise controller. Each of noise microphones is accommodated in back wall configuring the shell and is set back from a surface of the back wall.

Noise reduction device

A video display system for a passenger seat of a vehicle. The video display system is configured to be mounted to a seatback of each passenger seat or to other structure such that the system may be utilized by the passenger. The display system includes a video display assembly having a display housing configured to be mounted to structure in the vehicle. A video monitor is housed within the display housing. The video display assembly includes a depending tab portion disposed below the area of the video monitor. The depending tab portion includes a tab display capable of displaying a computer generated graphic and/or information. The display system may also have one or more indicator lights provided adjacent the external edge of the display housing.

Display system for a vehicle entertainment system

A seat monitor includes a display unit that displays various types of information, a frame provided so as to surround the display unit, and an indicator provided to call a staff. The indicator is disposed on a side portion of the frame.
