A recline safety lock assembly to be secured to an aircraft passenger seat of the type including a reclining seat back portion, a seat foundation and at least one recline cylinder structured to permit reclining of the seat back portion. The recline safety lock assembly includes at least one lock plate having an upper mount portion to be secured to a side rail of the seat back portion, and an engagement end having a downwardly depending lip formed therein. Additionally, the assembly includes at least one lock pin having a main shaft with a transverse notch formed therein. The lock pin is rotatably and axially mounted adjacent the engagement end of the lock plate and is rotatable between a disengaged orientation and an engaged orientation. In the engaged orientation the transverse notch is in a generally upwardly angled orientation such that the lock pin engages the downwardly depending lip of the lock plate and rear reclining of the seat back portion relative to the seat foundation portion is prevented. Conversely, the disengaged orientation includes the transverse notch disposed in a generally horizontal orientation so as to permit free passage of the downwardly depending lip of the lock plate therethrough and to permit normal reclining of the seat back portion relative to the seat foundation portion.

An aircraft seat frame including a seat back portion, a seat foundation portion, and a seat base portion, the seat back portion having a pair of generally vertically disposed side rails composed of three interconnected segments, a leading and a trailing edge segments of which are perpendicularly disposed on opposing sides of an interior segment, thereby substantially minimizing an overall weight of the side rails and maximizing the side rails resistance to horizontal bending across a plane of the leading and trailing segments. Further, the seat frame includes a load transference member spanning the side rails so as to evenly distribute a load exerted on only a single of the side rails over both side rails and over the corresponding seat side rails to which the seat back side rails are connected. Further, the frame includes a seat base portion having a pair of seat side rails with support members pivotally secured at opposite ends thereof, the support members being fixedly secured to an underlying support surface.

An improved, retractable armrest for an aircraft seat having a mount assembly being fixedly secured to a frame of the aircraft seat and a retraction assembly structured to move along a path in a generally vertical plane relative to the mount assembly and the aircraft seat. The retraction assembly includes a generally horizontal support with at least one guide element extending downwardly therefrom to engage a guide member of the mount assembly and guide vertical movement of the retraction assembly between an extended position and a retracted position. The retraction assembly is structured to lock for securely maintaining the retraction assembly in the extended position, while being capable of being released by a gentle yet focused lifting force being applied to the retraction assembly when in the extended position. Further, the retraction assembly is structured such that a slight, momentary upward movement does not cause an accidental release thereof from the extended position, such as might otherwise occur when a passenger manipulates one or more various controls located on the armrest for activating other comfort features on the aircraft seat.

An aircraft seat frame including a seat back portion, having a pair of side rails secured to a seat foundation portion so as to transfer a load thereto, the seat foundation portion coupled to a seat base portion that is substantially strong so as to resist yielding. The seat base portion includes a pair of base rails having mount segments extending downwardly therefrom for coupling to an underlying support surface, and at least one spar rail secured between the base rails. The base rails also include an upper edge, a lower edge, and an interior base segment, each having a flat, planar configuration, with the upper edge base segment disposed at a top edge of the interior base segment in perpendicular relation thereto and the lower edge base segment disposed at a bottom edge of the interior base segment in perpendicular relation thereto, so that the upper edge, lower edge, and interior base segments are disposed to maximize a resistance of the base rail to vertical bending across a plane of the upper and lower edge base segments, while minimizing an overall weight of the base rails. Further, the base rails and spar rail are structured to be coupled to one another to define a plurality of mount profiles each of which accommodates a particular mounting posture of the seat foundation portion and seat back portion for a particular mount location, without necessitating modification of a configuration of the seat foundation portion.
