Abstract
A three-place aircraft divan configured to be installed side-facing in an aircraft and track between an upright sitting position and a berth position. Seat bottom and backrest portions of the divan are movably supported on a static frame and track together. The divan includes inflatable passenger restraints at each seat place and a leg flail prevention device at one end of the frame triggered to actuate in response to an event sensed by a mechanical crash sensor. The inboard leg arrangement of the divan accommodates the installation of two containers for containing high-capacity life rafts under the seat bottom frame, among other equipment.
