Abstract
A transformable canopy assembly includes one or more canopy mounts configured to couple the transformable canopy to a frame of a seat. The transformable canopy includes a canopy sub-assembly configured to rotate between a stowed and a deployed position. The canopy sub-assembly includes a canopy configured to provide lighting or sound mitigation when in the deployed position. The canopy sub-assembly includes one or more canopy support members coupled to the canopy. The transformable canopy includes a canopy frame lock configured to couple the canopy sub-assembly to the frame. When in the stowed position, the canopy sub-assembly is secured to the frame via the canopy frame lock, where the canopy frame lock prevents the canopy sub-assembly from rotating to the deployed position. When in the deployed position, the canopy sub-assembly forms an arcuate-shaped cover over at least a portion of one of a seatback or a seat pan of the seat.
