Abstract
There is provided an aircraft seat cubicle that has a seat convertible to a bed, a foot rest or ottoman, a table and a light, each movable lengthways of the cubicle. One of the items of furniture is received on a track. The item of furniture can be driven towards or away from the seat via a pulley, a cable, and a drive motor. A tension spring in the run of the cable stretches and releases its tension in order to allow the cable to slip on a capstan at one end of the track for driven movement of the furniture.
