Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to a cabin attendant seat, and more
  • CAS cabin attendant seat
  • FAA Federal Airworthiness authorities
  • monuments lavatories, galleys and/or closets
  • one cabin attendant facing forward in the aisle and one facing aft in the aisle of the aircraft.
  • This known position makes the double CAS unusable for crew rest during flight as it blocks the aisle.
  • Some double cabin attendant seats also require the deployed assembly to attach or connect to an adjacent seat, monument or other load bearing structure.
  • an aircraft that includes a fuselage, a monument including a compartment defined therein positioned in an aftmost portion of the cabin, and a double cabin attendant seat assembly that is movable between a stowed position where it is positioned in the compartment and a deployed position where it is positioned outside of the compartment.
  • the double cabin attendant seat assembly includes a first seat that includes a first back portion and a first seat portion that is movable between a closed position and an open position and a second seat that includes a second back portion and a second seat portion that is movable between a closed position and an open position.
  • the double cabin attendant seat assembly has a weight and defines a footprint on a floor of the cabin when the double cabin attendant seat assembly is in the deployed position. None of the floor within the footprint bears any of the weight of the double cabin attendant seat assembly. This allows the double cabin attendant seat to extend over or cantilever over the footprint when deployed, but then be retracted into the compartment when stowed to stay out of the way.
  • the entire weight of the double cabin attendant seat assembly is home by the monument when the double cabin attendant seat is in the deployed position.
  • the double cabin attendant seat is only connected to the monument and not to another load bearing structure.
  • FIG. 1 The drawings show the double cabin attendant seat partially extending from the compartment in the stowed position.
  • the assembly can be completely received in the compartment and the compartment can include a door or other cover.
  • the double cabin attendant seat assembly is configured such that in the deployed position, a first cabin attendant sitting in the first seat can see forward in the cabin interior in a way that meets airworthiness authority direct view requirements, and a second cabin attendant sitting in the second seat can see forward in the cabin interior in a way that meets airworthiness authority direct view requirements.
  • the double CAS may allow the two cabin attendants individually to be able to see up to 100% of the passengers or at least allow both of the two cabin attendants to see up to 100% of the passengers together (e.g., 50% each). Any percentage between 0% and 100% is within the scope of the present invention.
  • the cabin attendant seated on the seat adjacent the exit door may not be able to see any passengers.
  • the present invention provides for a double CAS in the aft section of the aircraft.
  • the assembly can be positioned in other locations in an aircraft or can be used in scenarios outside of an aircraft.
  • the double CAS system allows both flight attendants to meet FAA direct view requirements.
  • This double CAS system is attached to the aft monument or aft.
  • the aft complex can include galleys, lavatories, closets or any combination of such monuments.
  • the CAS is deployed from the aft complex into the area just forward of the aft complex area.
  • the CAS may or may not connect with the passenger seats and/or monuments forward of the seats for additional support.
  • the aft complex can include galleys, lavatories, closets or any combination of such monuments.
  • the present invention can be used in scenarios other than an aircraft.
  • the invention can be used in other modes of transportation including but not limited to trains, cars, buses and vertical take-off and landing autonomous aircraft. It will be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art that the various features outlined to achieve a double CAS can be implemented individually or in combination without limitation.
  • FIG. 1 is a plan view of the aft portion of an aircraft with a monument having a double cabin attendant seat in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention
  • FIG. 2 is another plan view of the aircraft showing the double cabin attendant seat in the deployed position

  • the aircraft 100 includes a monument 12 positioned in an aftmost portion of the cabin 104.
  • the monument 12 includes a compartment 14 defined therein.
  • the double cabin attendant seat assembly 10 is stowed in the compartment 14 and is movable between a stowed position (FIG. 1) where it is positioned in the compartment 14 and a deployed position (FIG. 2) where it is positioned outside of the compartment 14.
  • first seat 16 that includes a first back portion 18 and a first seat portion 20 that is movable between a closed position (FIG. 3) and an open position (FIG. 4) and a second seat 22 that includes a second back portion 24 and a second seat portion 26 that is movable between a closed position and an open position.
  • first back portion 18 faces or is directed toward the right outboard wall 108 when the double cabin attendant seat assembly 10 is in the deployed position and the second back portion 24 faces the left outboard wall 106 when the double cabin attendant seat assembly 10 is in the deployed position.
  • the double cabin attendant seat assembly 10 defines a weight and a footprint 26 on a floor 110 of the cabin 104 when the double cabin attendant seat assembly 10 is in the deployed position, and wherein none of the floor 110 within the footprint 26 bears any of the weight of the double cabin attendant seat assembly 10.
  • the double cabin attendant seat assembly 10 deploys forwardly out of the compartment. It can be deployed via a rail system or the like. The seat portions are then pivoted downwardly to the open position. As shown in FIG. 4, within the footprint, there is nothing below the seats that contacts the floor. All of the weight or load of the double cabin attendant seat assembly 10 is borne by monument 12 due to the connection of the rail system or other components that connect the double cabin attendant seat assembly 10 to the monument. This prevents the double cabin attendant seat 10 from having to be connected to another load bearing structure, such as a seat, monument, wall or other structure that is connected to or resting on the floor.

  • the second cabin attendant sitting in the second seat 22 can see forward in the cabin interior in a way that meets airworthiness authority requirements.
  • the FAA direct view requirements are difficult to meet while also positioning the cabin attendant seats in a position where the seats can also be used for the other advantages discussed herein.
  • FIG. 5 shows the two cabin attendants seated on the double cabin attendant seat assembly 10 in the deployed position and both cabin attendants are able to look forward from their seated position thus allowing both attendants to meet FAA direct view requirements.
  • the double cabin attendant seat assembly 10 is positioned in the middle of the monument 12 so that the cabin attendants can see directly down the aisle 112 when turning their heads.
  • the aircraft 100 is bifurcated by a first plane Pl
  • the double cabin attendant seat assembly 10 is bifurcated by a second plane P2
  • the first and second planes are co-planar.
  • a plan bifurcating the aisle 1 12 also is co-planar with Pl and P2.
