Passenger seat with removable modular component

A passenger seat comprising a seat element, wherein the seat element comprises:

• a stationary component comprising:
• a stationary component structural member positioned at a connecting end of the stationary component and extending at least partially across an opening of the stationary component, the stationary component structural member defining a plurality of openings;
• and
• a disconnect panel;
• and
• a removable modular component comprising:
• a removable modular component structural member positioned at a connecting end of the removable modular component, extending at least partially across an opening of the removable modular component, the removable modular component structural member defining a plurality of openings and comprising at least one removable modular component attachment member extending from the removable modular component structural member, and the removable modular component structural member being coupleable to the stationary component structural member via the at least one removable modular component attachment member;
• and
• an electrical wiring consolidation device comprising:
• an electrical cable bundle;
• and
• an electrical connector coupleable to the disconnect panel,
• wherein the stationary component structural member, the disconnect panel, the removable modular component structural member, and the electrical wiring consolidation device form a quick connect structure for coupling the removable modular component with the stationary component.

A method for coupling a removable modular component of a passenger seat with a stationary component of the passenger seat, the method comprising:

• attaching an electrical connector of the removable modular component to a disconnect panel of the stationary component;
• and
• attaching a removable modular component structural member of the removable modular component to a stationary component structural member of the stationary component via at least one removable modular component attachment member extending from the removable modular component structural member,
• wherein the stationary component structural member, the disconnect panel, the removable modular component structural member, and the electrical connector form a quick connect structure for coupling the removable modular component with the stationary component, and
• wherein the removable modular component structural member extends at least partially across an opening of the removable modular component and the removable modular component structural member defines a plurality of openings, and the stationary component structural member extends at least partially across an opening of the stationary component and the stationary component structural member defines a plurality of openings.
