Linearly deployable aircraft seat legrest

摘要

A legrest assembly adapted for use with an aircraft passenger seat including a pair of spaced parallel support members adapted to extend forward from the front of the seat, a legrest pivotally supported on ends of the support members configured to pivot from near vertical when stowed to near horizontal when deployed, a brake mechanism for stopping forward deployment of the legrest, and an actuator for driving forward deployment of the legrest.

1. A legrest assembly adapted for use with a passenger seat, comprising:
a pair of spaced parallel support members adapted to translate forward and aft relative to a pivoting seat pan; a legrest pivotally attached on a backside thereof to forward ends of the pair of spaced parallel support members, the legrest configured to pivot relative to the pair of spaced parallel support members from near vertical when stowed to near horizontal when deployed; a brake mechanism including a hook carrying a stopper arranged to brake one of the spaced parallel support members to hold the one of the spaced parallel support members at a desired extension position; and an actuator arranged to drive forward deployment of the legrest.
