    Abstract: A swivel locking system for preventing swiveling of a seat frame includes a locking pin and a series of pulleys along with a housing attached to a swivel plate. The locking pin is located in the housing and is biased to be extended downwardly through an aperture in the swivel plate and retracted from the aperture via a cable. The seat frame is able to be swiveled when the locking pin is retracted from the aperture, thereby unlocking the seat frame from a bottom support.

    Abstract: A cable tensioner for adjusting the tension in various cables. It may be used with a variety of cables including those that have flexible members routed through bendable sheaths. The cable tensioner includes a worm gear arrangement located within a housing, where the worm gear takes the form of a worm screw engaged with a spur gear. The spur gear may then be engaged with teeth on a movable sleeve. The end of a cable is secured within the sleeve and the tension in the cable can be adjusted by moving the sleeve via the worm gear.

    Abstract: A system for positioning a seat and locking it into a desired position. The system may include a seat mounted to a plurality of movable track members that allow an occupant to position a seat. The track members may be locked in place with one or more spring biased locking mechanisms that selectively engage the track members to keep the seat fixed in a desired position. The locking members may be engaged or disengaged using a series of cables. In one embodiment, a master cable is run to a handle on the side of the seat, which can be manipulated by an occupant to selectively engage and disengage the locking mechanisms.

    Abstract: A mechanical logic gate system for an aircraft seat which includes a flywheel operatively connected to a pivot tube and control cables. The control cables attach to swivel locking and tracking mechanisms which enable swiveling and tracking of the aircraft seat. Spring pin plungers are configured to extend into the flywheel for locking it in place. When both spring pin plungers are retracted from the flywheel via control cables, the aircraft seat is disabled from swiveling.

    Abstract: A cable tension triggering mechanism. It may be used with a variety of cables including those that have flexible members routed through bendable sheaths. The triggering mechanism includes a rotatable hub mounted to a swiveling plate. When the hub rotates around its pivot point, it increases the tension forces in cables thereby causing the cables to pull on locking mechanisms. The hub rotates when the plate is rotated and a stub extending from the plate presses against an end of the hub to cause the hub to rotate.
