Abstract:
In an example, a seating system includes a seat comprising a chamber, a wall structure adjacent to the seat and defining a compartment, a door insert configured to move within the compartment between a starting position and a retracted position, wherein in the starting position, the door is adjacent to the seat and blocks access to the compartment, and in the retracted position, the door is retracted into the wall structure and provides access to the compartment, a closed channel extending from the chamber and operably connected to the door, and a piston operably coupled to the seat and positioned within the chamber, wherein when a load is applied to the seat, the piston is compressed, moving the door from the starting position to the retracted position, and when the load is removed, the piston is decompressed, causing the door to move from the retracted position to the starting position.
