Slide for an aircraft

An evacuation slide to provide an egress path from an exit of an aircraft. The evacuation slide includes one or more slide lanes. One or more jump targets and indicators are positioned along each of the slide lanes to visually inform persons how to enter a ramp of the slide. Lights illuminate one or more sections of the slide to further provide visual guidance on how to enter the ramp.

Airplane window configuration

An accent lighting system is configured to provide accented light onto a desired location. The accent lighting system includes an accent adapter assembly that is configured to securely couple to a light source. The accent adapter assembly includes an accenting plate that is configured to accent light that is emitted from the light source. A method of securing an accent lighting system within an internal cabin of a vehicle includes removing an existing light source from an aperture of a composite panel, securing an accent adapter assembly to the existing light source to form the accent lighting system, and securing the accent lighting system in the aperture of the composite panel.

A window assembly for use in a vehicle including a window frame including a first end and a second end opposite the first end, and an opaque shade movable relative to the window frame, wherein the opaque shade includes a first tab formed at a bottom end of the opaque shade. A transparent shade is movable relative to the window frame, wherein the transparent shade includes a second tab formed at a bottom end of the transparent shade. The first tab and the second tab are configured for selective integration with each other to enable dependent movement of the opaque shade and the transparent shade with each other, and to enable independent movement of the opaque shade and the transparent shade relative to each other.

Aircraft cabin ceiling

Disclosed herein is an example ceiling header system for an aircraft cabin that includes a ceiling between a first storage bin and a second storage bin. The ceiling header system includes a ceiling header that includes a top surface that conforms to the ceiling and a bottom surface that is opposite the top surface. The ceiling header system also includes a curtain track. The top surface is configured to be held against the ceiling via the curtain track being placed against the bottom surface, the curtain track being (i) attachable at a first end of the curtain track to a first rail of the first storage bin and (ii) attachable at a second end of the curtain track to a second rail of the second storage bin.

A window assembly for use in a vehicle that includes a window frame including a first end and a second end opposite the first end, a first frictional slide track, a second frictional slide track, an opaque shade selectively movable within the first frictional slide track, and a transparent shade selectively movable within the second frictional slide track. The first frictional slide track and the second frictional slide track are positioned such that the opaque shade and the transparent shade are both selectively retractable within, and selectively extendable from, the first end of the window frame.

A headrest assembly having at least one articulated cushion section that is deployable from a recess in a stowed position, a passenger seat comprising the headrest assembly and cushion section, as well as vehicles comprising the seat, and methods of installation are disclosed.

Transformable headrest for aircraft seating

A seat assembly includes a seat cushion, a backrest, and a headrest moveably coupled to a back of the backrest. The headrest is configured to be moved between a stowed position in which the headrest is retained within a portion of the backrest and a deployed position in which the headrest is configured to support a passenger in a forward resting position.

Seat assembly having a deployable headrest

A light projection device includes a mixing tube having an open exit end, and a plurality of light sources, each of the plurality of light sources positioned to emit a light stream toward the open exit end of the mixing tube. A diffuser is disposed between the plurality of light sources and the open exit end of the mixing tube, the diffuser configured to diffuse at least one light stream from the plurality of light sources into a diffused light stream. A template is positioned proximate the open exit end of the mixing tube and configured to shape the diffused light stream from the diffuser into a patterned light stream.

Light protection device for mixing multiple light sources

Wayfinding apparatus for aircraft are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a wayfinding apparatus having a core composed of a light transmissive material. The core has a first surface defining a first face and a second surface defining a second face. The second face is oriented non-parallel relative to the first surface such that a second edge of the core is in a rearward direction relative to the first face. A transition is positioned between the first surface and the second surface. The transition is to optically couple the second edge and the first face.

An improved overhead storage system for use in an aircraft includes a variable opening overhead storage bin that is configured to automatically open to an initial open position when a latch mechanism is released, to open further to a second open position when a force is applied to the bin, and to return to the initial open position when the force is removed. The variable opening overhead storage bin includes a first stop device configured to stop the bin at the initial open position, and a second stop device configured to stop the bin at the second open position. When in the initial open position, the variable opening overhead storage bin is angled to retain stowed articles within the bin. When the variable opening overhead storage bin is further opened to the second open position, the passenger's hands are in a better position to control articles stowed within the bin.
