Abstract
A canopy is configured to be mounted to a passenger seat of a passenger transport vehicle, in particular an aircraft. The canopy is foldable between a retracted storage configuration and an extended operational configuration. In the operational configuration, the canopy forms a hood establishing a passenger's personal space below the canopy. The canopy comprises at least one functional device which is configured for modifying a physical characteristics of the personal space. The at least one functional device in particular includes at least one of a lighting device configured for lighting the personal space and a venting device configured for venting the personal space.
Claims18
A canopy configured to be mounted to a passenger seat of a passenger transport vehicle the canopy being foldable between a retracted storage configuration and an extended operational configuration;
- wherein the canopy, in the operational configuration, forms a hood establishing a passenger's personal space below the canopy;
- and
- wherein the canopy comprises:
- a foldable upper sheet and a foldable lower sheet defining an internal space in between the two sheets when the canopy is in its operational configuration, wherein the foldable lower sheet is at least partly transparent or translucent and wherein the foldable upper sheet is substantially opaque;
- and
- at least one functional device which is configured for modifying a physical characteristics of the personal space, wherein the at least one functional device includes:
- a lighting device configured for lighting the personal space by emitting light into the internal space formed between the two sheets when the canopy is in its operational configuration.
