Abstract

A stop for an aircraft seat is designed to be installed on a rail, said rail having, in alternation, bearing regions, in which two lips that are oriented toward one another project toward the interior of the rail, and open regions. The stop includes a body provided with a plunger which is designed to fit into an open region in said rail so as to abut against lips of a bearing region, and at least one means for holding the stop on said rail.

Claims (23)

1. An assembly comprising:

a seat support pallet comprising a reinforcement panel spanning between two opposing spars, at least one of the spars coupled with a first beam at a first end and a second beam at a second end, the seat support pallet having fastening devices for fastening to an aircraft seat, and at least one fastener for fastening to an aircraft cabin rail, and

a stop for the aircraft seat, wherein the stop is designed to be installed on the rail spaced apart from the fastener, the rail having, in alternation, bearing regions, in which two lips that are oriented toward one another project toward an interior of the rail, and open regions,

wherein the stop comprises:

a body provided with a plunger which is designed to fit into an open region of the rail so as to abut against lips of a bearing region, and

at least one means for holding said stop on said rail.

2. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein a spacing between the stop and the fastener is between 2 mm and 3 mm.

3. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein a shock absorbing element is mounted between a beam of the seat support pallet and an aircraft cabin rail.

4. The assembly of claim 3 , wherein the shock absorbing element protrudes with respect to an aircraft cabin floor.

5. The stop of claim 1 , wherein the holding means comprises a portion which is mobile in translation with respect to the body, said mobile portion being provided with at least one transverse flange for clamping a lip of the rail between said transverse flange and the body of the stop.

6. The stop of claim 5 , wherein the stop comprises two sets of transverse flanges located on both sides of the plunger.

7. An assembly comprising:

a seat support pallet having fastening devices for fastening to an aircraft seat, and at least one fastener for fastening to an aircraft cabin rail, and

a stop for the aircraft seat, wherein the stop is designed to be installed on the rail spaced apart from the fastener, the rail having, in alternation, bearing regions, in which two lips that are oriented toward one another project toward an interior of the rail, and open regions,

wherein the stop comprises:

a body provided with a plunger which is designed to fit into an open region of said rail so as to abut against lips of a bearing region, and

at least one means for holding said stop on said rail

wherein a shock absorbing element is mounted between a beam of the seat support pallet and an aircraft cabin rail, wherein the shock absorbing element protrudes with respect to an aircraft cabin floor and comprises:

a body,

a portion made of resilient material fastened to the body, and

at least one means for holding the stop on the rail.

8. The assembly of claim 7 , wherein the shock absorbing element is provided with a plunger which is designed to fit into an open region of said rail so as to abut against lips of a bearing region.

9. The assembly of claim 7 , wherein the shock absorbing element comprises a portion which is mobile in translation with respect to the body, said mobile portion being provided with at least one transverse flange for clamping the rail between the transverse flange and the body of the shock absorbing element.
