Baseframe tube clamping device

A passenger seat row assembly, comprising:

• a collection of seat row assembly components, at least one baseframe tube, and a collection of baseframe tube clamps;
• wherein:
• each seat row assembly component of the collection of seat row assembly components comprises:
• a connecting element sized to accommodate the at least one baseframe tube;
• a contact element positioned at a first side of the connecting element;
• and
• a first securement element positioned at a second side of the connecting element;
• and
• each baseframe tube clamp of the collection of baseframe tube clamps comprises:
• a fulcrum element,
• a clamping surface, and
• a second securement element for attaching each baseframe tube clamp to a respective first securement element, wherein the clamping surface is between the fulcrum element and the second securement element;
• each seat row assembly component of the collection of seat row assembly components is connected with the at least one baseframe tube by the baseframe tube being inserted through the first securement element in each respective seat row assembly component;
• and
• the at least one baseframe tube is secured to each respective seat row assembly component of the collection of seat row assembly components by a respective baseframe tube clamp of the collection of baseframe tube clamps, wherein
• the fulcrum element of each baseframe tube clamp of the collection of baseframe tube clamps is in contact with the respective contact element of each respective seat row assembly component of the collection of seat row assembly components,
• the clamping surface of each baseframe tube clamp of the collection of baseframe tube clamps is in contact with the at least one baseframe tube, and
• the second securement element of each baseframe tube clamp of the collection of baseframe tube clamps is connected with a respective first securement element of the collection of seat row assembly components.

A method of assembling a passenger seat row assembly, the method comprising:

• positioning a first collection of seat row assembly components in a passenger cabin, each seat row assembly component of the first collection of seat row assembly components having a first connecting feature, a first contact element at a first side of the first connecting feature, and a first securement element at a second side of the first connecting feature;
• inserting a baseframe tube through the first connecting feature in each seat row assembly component of the first collection of seat row assembly components;
• positioning a first collection of baseframe tube clamps such that a fulcrum element of each baseframe tube clamp of the first collection of baseframe tube clamps contacts a respective contact element of each seat row assembly component of the first collection of seat row assembly components and a clamping surface at a midpoint of each baseframe tube clamp of the first collection of baseframe tube clamps contacts the baseframe tube;
• and
• securing each baseframe tube clamp of the first collection of baseframe tube clamps to a respective securement element of a respective seat row assembly component of the first collection of seat row assembly components, such that the fulcrum elements of the first collection of baseframe tube clamps each press against the respective contact elements of the respective seat row assembly components of the first collection of seat row assembly components, and such that the clamping surfaces of the first collection of baseframe tube clamps each press against the baseframe tube.
