Abstract

A mechanical logic gate system for an aircraft seat which includes a flywheel operatively connected to a pivot tube and control cables. The control cables attach to swivel locking and tracking mechanisms which enable swiveling and tracking of the aircraft seat. Spring pin plungers are configured to extend into the flywheel for locking it in place. When both spring pin plungers are retracted from the flywheel via control cables, the aircraft seat is disabled from swiveling.
