    摘要: An aircraft seat assembly including stanchions defining elongated guide channels and elongated motion sleds nested in the guide channels and affixed to a seat bucket. An energy absorber implemented as a wire bender assembly is coupled between the stanchions and the motion sled. In use, the elongated guide channels guide motion of the motion sleds and the wire bender assemblies attenuate energy during a dynamic event exceeding a predetermined threshold load value. The elongated interface between the guide channels and motion sleds serve to transfer excessive loading to the seat frame thereby protecting the seat assembly from damage and the occupant from excessive lumbar spinal loads.

    摘要: An aircraft seat assembly including first and second stanchions forming interior spaces open through forward slots. A seat pan is pivotally attached to the stanchions and includes rearward extensions that extend through the forward slots and are received in the interior spaces. First and second spring mechanisms reside in the respective first and second interior spaces and are attached at opposing ends to their respective stanchion and to the seat pan. In use, rotating the seat pan toward a deployed position elongates the first and second elongation springs thereby energizing a return force of the spring mechanisms.
