20140300171 | AIRCRAFT SEAT BACK ASSEMBLY - The seat back portion of a passenger aircraft seat is built of an elastomer mesh type diaphragm without conventional cushions or dress covers, in order to maximize space available to the passenger while reducing costs and weight. The diaphragm is attached and tensioned into a structural frame, which also supports a slide-in rear shroud closeout. The frame is designed to remain exposed, showing a decorative finish. | 10-09-2014 |
20130154325 | MOVABLE SEATING ARRANGEMENT - A movable seating arrangement includes a seat pan, a back support rigidly connected with the seat pan, and a seat member slidably mounted to the seat pan. The seat member can be moved from a retracted position proximate the back support to an extended position displaced forward of the upright position, without movement of the back support. In certain embodiments, a lumbar support is mounted to the back support, and motion of the seat member to its extended position causes a mid portion of the lumbar support to flex forward from a flattened position. | 06-20-2013 |
20090071273 | Device for controlling motion - A device for controlling motion of an object includes a housing defining first and second cavities each extending from a first to a second longitudinal end of the housing. A partition separates the cavities. A first sliding (controlled) member is movable within the first cavity, and includes a first extension extending outwardly from the first longitudinal end for being attached to an object whose movement is to be controlled. A second sliding (controlling) member is movable within the second cavity, and includes a second extension extending outwardly from a longitudinal end for being pulled a variably controlled distance away from the housing. A motion limiting member communicates with the sliding members such that movement of the second extension the variably controlled distance away from the housing causes the first extension to be movable the variably controlled distance in a direction in which the second sliding member is pulled. | 03-19-2009 |
