A passenger seat is with a seat back breakover assembly for preventing movement of the seat back unit forwardly past an upright position during normal use and for permitting forward movement of the seat back past an upright position in response to a predetermined abnormal load applied in a forward direction. The breakover assembly includes a controlled deformation member having a bend in one end thereof and positioned intermediate one a section assembly module of the seat and the seat back unit. The bend of the deformation member captures therein an attachment member fixed to and movable forwardly and rearwardly in unison with the seat back unit. An end of the deformation member remote from the bend is restrained for restricted and controlled movement relative to the section assembly module. The deformation member has a resistance to deformation in response to a normal forwardly-applied force sufficient to prevent forward movement of the seat back unit beyond the upright position. The deformation member is deformable in response to an abnormal forwardly-applied force along its length whereby the bend in the deformation member is translated rearwardly along the length of the deformation member to thereby dissipate the abnormal force without damage to the seat back unit.

Passenger seating arrangements are detailed. At least some arrangements permit each passenger to access an aisle of a vessel without contacting an adjacent passenger. Movable footwells may be utilized to floor-level access when retracted and function as steps when extended as a seat is converted to a bed. This structure authorizes decrease in seat pitch without decrease of bed length, permitting additional seating to be included in a cabin of a vessel without diminishment of passenger comfort.

A tray table assembly for a passenger seat including a horizontal rail arranged alongside the seat, the horizontal rail having a length extending from the seatback to a position forward of the seat, a carriage assembly configured to travel horizontally along the rail, and a tray table attached to the carriage assembly, the tray table configured to pivot between a vertical orientation in which the tray table is stowed alongside the seatback and a horizontal orientation in which the tray table is positioned forward of the seatback.

A reclining passenger seat having a visual seat position indicator. The seat includes a seat frame for being attached to a supporting deck, a seat bottom carried by the seat frame, a seat back carried by the seat frame and moveable relative to the seat bottom between a fully upright and reclined positions, and a sensor for determining when the seat back is and is not in the fully upright position. A visual seat position indicator light is operatively associated with the sensor and positioned so as to be observed by a cabin attendant without having to directly observe the seat back for determining whether the seat back is in a fully upright position. The passenger seat may include an end bay for being positioned adjacent a passageway, and the visual seat position indicator light is positioned on the end bay, or the indicator lights may be mounted on one or more display panels.

A motor vehicle multi-function mounting apparatus is disclosed comprising a support pedestal and a two part quick release mounting assembly for selectively attaching one of a selection of differing objects to an upper end of the support pedestal.

A display panel has a high pixel and a low pixel that are formed in a pixel area. A driving section receives a first image signal from an external device, outputs a second image signal to the high pixel using gamma data that corresponds to a high pixel gamma curve, and outputs a third image signal to the low pixel using gamma data that corresponds to a low pixel gamma curve. A driving section outputs the third image signal to the low pixel using the same gamma data for RGB data that correspond to a low gradation of the low pixel gamma curve.

The present invention generally relates to passenger aircraft seats. Some examples provide systems for providing side support to seated passengers. Some examples include a passenger seat backrest having an extendable side support. An extendable side support may be integrated with a seat backrest and may be moved between a stowed position and a deployed position. When in a deployed position, the expandable side support may then provide additional side support to a seated passenger's body.

A passenger seat for a multi-passenger motor vehicle having a body with a seat-mounting includes a seat frame mountable to the seat-mounting surface, and a rear seat frame engaged with the seat frame. A front frame is engaged to the seat frame and is located forward of the rear seat frame. The front frame is configured for translational movement with respect to the seat frame. A passenger restraint member is engaged to the front frame.

The invention relates to a double folding seat for a vehicle, particularly a public transportation vehicle such as a bus or a train, with a bench seat positioned in the direction of travel of the vehicle that has a backrest and a seating surface that can be folded between a home position and a sitting position, with a retaining device for holding a wheelchair or the like that has at least two hooks arranged in extension of the backrest and mounted on a wall supported on a floor of the vehicle, which hooks can be tightened by means of respective tightening members and loosened by respective loosening members, with a safety belt for the wheelchair user and with a covering for the tightening members and loosening members.

A system and methodology utilizing seat sensors and an electronic card system that monitors the location of children on a bus as well as preventing children from being left behind, is herein disclosed. As the child enters the bus, the child would insert a personalized identification card, thereby recording the child's seat location and presence. Upon exiting, the child again inserts the identification card and following a prescribed time interval, a warning light and alarm would be activated if the seat remains occupied, thus alerting the bus driver to check the seat location. Every bus seat would have an integral weight sensor electrically connected to a main control panel. The system provides the bus driver, or assigned chaperone, a pushbutton selection array corresponding to each seat assignment.

A passenger vehicle seat and restraint system comprising a frame mountable to a vehicle and a restraint member and a seat member coupled to the frame to form a seat for supporting an occupant. The vehicle seat may further comprise a seat back frame movably attached to the frame and a restraint harness affixed to the frame and the seat back frame for securing the occupant thereto.

An automobile vehicle seat has a frame capable of being attached to the floor of the vehicle, a backrest connected to the frame and with a backrest surface, a seat pan installed so as to pivot on the frame around a seat pan axis and with a seat pan surface, the seat having an utilisation position in which the backrest is slightly inclined towards the rear, the seat pan surface being more or less horizontal, and a stowage position in which the backrest surface and the seat pan surface are more or less vertical. The backrest is installed so as to pivot on the frame around a backrest axis, the seat including connecting means between the backrest and the seat pan so that the pivoting of the backrest towards the front controls the pivoting of the seat pan in a direction opposite to that of the backrest.

A seat framework for use in a bus, which is basically from by a tubular seat back frame member and a tubular seat cushion frame member. The seat framework is fixed via a support leg element on a floor of the bus and provided with a reinforcement element which includes an angle portion of L-shaped cross-section and a tubular portion. The reinforcement element is provided between the seat framework and the support leg element, such that the angle portion thereof is fixed on either of the two lateral frame portions of the seat back frame member, while the tubular portion thereof is fixedly connected with the support leg element. The reinforcement element may be so formed as to include two angle portions and a tubular intermediate portion defined between the two angle portions.
