PASSENGER ORIENTATION ARRANGEMENT IN A PASSENGER CABIN

摘要

A seating space such as an aircraft passenger cabin has rows of seats along an aisle, identified by a row number and a seat location letter. A seat row indicator is arranged on the side flank of the seat back of each aisle seat, at the corner where the side f lank and upper edge of the seat back meet. A seat location indicator is arranged at the middle of the upper edge of the seat back of each seat. The row numbers and seat letters are indicated on or in the indicators by paint, printing, engrav-ing, inserts, illumination or tactile indicia. The indicators are conspicuous and easily visible to a passenger standing or walking in the aisle without bending or leaning over. Boarding of the aircraft is facilitated and expedited. Emergency evacua-tion is assisted by appropriate illumination of the indicators.
