Seat transit systems and methods

A seat assembly comprising:

• a first aft leg;
• a first fitting coupled to the first aft leg;
• a second aft leg;
• a second fitting coupled to the second aft leg;
• a first fore leg;
• a third fitting coupled to the first fore leg;
• a second fore leg;
• a fourth fitting coupled to the second fore leg;
• and
• a plurality of seat skate assemblies, wherein each of the plurality of seat skate assemblies is secured to a respective one of the first fitting, the second fitting, the third fitting, or the fourth fitting, wherein each of the plurality of seat skate assemblies comprises:
• a pin-retaining guide including a base integrally connected to lateral walls, a first end, and an opposite second end, wherein a recessed channel extends from and between the first end to the second end, wherein lateral ridges extend on each side of the recessed channel, wherein a plurality of pin cavities extend into the base and are exposed by the recessed channel, and wherein the plurality of pin cavities are configured to receive and retain one or more pins of one of the first fitting, the second fitting, the third fitting, or the fourth fitting;
• one or more wheel couplers;
• one or more wheel members rotatably coupled to the one or more wheel couplers, wherein the one or more wheel members allow the seat assembly to be moved;
• wherein the one or more wheel couplers comprises:
• an upper prong fixedly connected to at least one of the lateral walls above a wheel axle of the one or more wheel members;
• and
• a lower prong fixedly connected to the at least one lateral wall below the wheel axle of the one or more wheel members, wherein the lower prong is spaced apart from the upper prong, and wherein the wheel axle is secured between the upper prong and the lower prong to define an axis of rotation of the one or more wheel members parallel to a length of the channel.

A method of transporting a seat assembly, the method comprising:

• securing a seat skate assembly to a fitting of the seat assembly wherein the seat skate assembly comprises a main body having first end and second end interconnected by lateral walls, and an elongated channel located between the lateral walls and extending from the first end to the second end, wherein the fitting of the seat assembly is securable to a seat track within an internal cabin of a vehicle, wherein said securing comprises retaining a plurality of pins of the fittings within pin cavities located within the elongated channel in the seat skate assembly;
• and
• moving the seat assembly with one or more wheel members rotatably coupled to one or more wheel couplers of the seat skate assembly;
• wherein the one or more wheel couplers comprises:
• an upper prong fixedly connected to at least one of the lateral walls above a wheel axle of the one or more wheel members;
• and
• a lower prong fixedly connected to the at least one lateral wall below the wheel axle of the one or more wheel members, wherein the lower prong is spaced apart from the upper prong, and wherein the wheel axle is secured between the upper prong and the lower prong to define an axis of rotation of the one or more wheel members parallel to a length of the channel.
