Abstract
An aircraft cabin includes at least one seat able to receive at least one passenger; at least one table arranged opposite the seat; and a safety device able to be mounted on the table, below the table or received in the table. The safety device includes a deployable protection assembly including an airbag deployable from a retracted idle configuration to a deployed safety configuration, and a system for controlling the deployment of the or each airbag, able to trigger the deployment of the airbag beyond a threshold deceleration value of the aircraft.
Claims19
An aircraft cabin comprising:
- at least one seat configured to receive at least one passenger;
- at least one table arranged opposite the seat;
- and
- a safety device configured to be mounted on the table, below the table or received in the table, the safety device including:
- at least one airbag, the at least one airbag being deployable from a retracted idle configuration to a deployed safety configuration of the at least one passenger seated on the seat, and
- a controller configured to control the deployment of the at least one airbag, and to trigger the deployment of the at least one airbag beyond a threshold deceleration value of the aircraft,
- the table being a dining table which comprises a tray, the tray comprising at least one base extending at all times in a plane parallel to a cabin floor,
- wherein the at least one airbag is mounted on the tray or received in the tray,
- wherein the tray comprises a base and at least one flap that is movable relative to the base between a stowed configuration in which the flap is folded on the base and a usage configuration in which the flap is deployed in the extension of the base.
An aircraft cabin comprising:
- at least one seat configured to receive at least one passenger;
- at least one table arranged opposite the seat;
- and
- a safety device configured to be mounted on the table, below the table or received in the table, the safety device including:
- at least one airbag, the at least one airbag being deployable from a retracted idle configuration to a deployed safety configuration of the at least one passenger seated on the seat, and
- a controller configured to control the deployment of the at least one airbag, and to trigger the deployment of the at least one airbag beyond a threshold deceleration value of the aircraft,
- wherein the at least one seat includes a first seat oriented facing the front of the aircraft, the at least one airbag comprising a first airbag mounted facing the first seat, the first airbag deploying above the table in order to protect a torso and a head of a passenger seated in the first seat, the at least one seat comprising a second seat oriented facing the rear of the aircraft, the at least one airbag comprising a second airbag facing the second seat, the second airbag deploying below the table to protect lower limbs of a passenger seated in the second seat.
