Aircraft seating assembly
Components and systems of an aircraft seating assembly are disclosed. The aircraft seating assembly can include a seat pan, a connection frame, and one or more mounts for removably coupling the seat pan to the connection frame. The aircraft seating assembly can include a back support having a removably coupled cushioning member. The aircraft seating assembly can include a tilt system which can allow the back support to articulate relative to the connection frame. The aircraft seating assembly can include a retention system coupled to the back support, the retention system can retain an object in place when in a closed configuration.
1. An aircraft seating assembly for installation in an aircraft, the assembly comprising:
a back support; and
a retention system coupled to the back support, the retention system configured to retain an object in place when in a closed configuration, the retention system comprising:
a base member;
a clamp member rotatably coupled to the base portion;
a biasing component configured to bias the clamp member into the closed configuration; and
a damper.
2. The aircraft seating assembly of claim 1 , wherein the retention system is coupled to the back support along an upper portion of the back support.
3. The aircraft seating assembly of claim 1 , wherein the clamp member comprises a protrusion extending from an inner surface of the clamp member, the protrusion configured to form a surface upon which a bottom portion of the object can be placed.
4. The aircraft seating assembly of claim 1 , wherein the clamp member comprises at least one ridge extending from an inner surface of the clamp member.
5. The aircraft seating assembly of claim 4 , wherein the ridge comprises a first portion and a second portion, wherein a thickness of the first portion is different from a thickness of the second portion.
6. The aircraft seating assembly of claim 1 , wherein the damper extends from the base member.
7. The aircraft seating assembly of claim 1 , wherein the damper is a rotational damper.
8. The aircraft seating assembly of claim 1 , wherein the retention system further comprises a channel configured to allow a wire to pass therethrough.
9. The aircraft seating assembly of claim 1 , wherein the clamp member is rotatably coupled to the base portion at a lower portion of the base portion.
10. The aircraft seating assembly of claim 1 , wherein back support comprises a recessed area and the clamp member is configured to retain the object in the recessed area when in a closed configuration.
11. The aircraft seating assembly of claim 10 , wherein the clamp member is positioned within the recessed area.
12. The aircraft seating assembly of claim 1 , wherein the biasing component comprises a torsion spring.
13. The aircraft seating assembly of claim 1 , wherein the biasing component is positioned about an axis of rotation of the clamp member.
14. The aircraft seating assembly of claim 1 , further comprising one or more ports configured to provide at least one of a power connection and a data connection.
15. The aircraft seating assembly of claim 14 , wherein the one or more ports are positioned on the clamp member.
16. An aircraft seating assembly for installation in an aircraft, the assembly comprising:
a back support; and
a retention system coupled to the back support, the retention system configured to retain an object in place when in a closed configuration, the retention system comprising:
a base member;
a clamp member rotatably coupled to the base portion; and
a biasing component configured to bias the clamp member into the closed configuration, the biasing component comprising a torsion spring.
17. An aircraft seating assembly for installation in an aircraft, the assembly comprising:
a back support; and
