Overhead rest assembly

A mobile platform crew rest berth support system, comprising:

• a crew berth assembly including at least a first berth connectable to a second berth;
• at least one hook assembly connectable between the first berth and a structure of the mobile platform and operable to suspend the first berth from the structure;
• at least one pin assembly connectable between the second berth and the structure of the mobile platform and operable to suspend the second berth from the structure;
• wherein the hook assembly permits rotation of the first berth along a first rotation arc and the pin assembly permits rotation of the second berth along a second rotation arc substantially perpendicular to the first arc such that when the first berth is connected to the second berth the berth assembly is restrained from motion in either of the first or the second arcs of rotation.

A mobile platform crew rest berth support system, comprising:

• a crew berth assembly including at least a first berth and a second berth;
• at least one hook assembly connectable between the first berth and a structure of the mobile platform operable to suspend the first berth from the structure;
• at least one pin assembly connectable between the second berth and the structure of the mobile platform operable to suspend the second berth from the structure;
• and
• at least one cam assembly operable to connect the first berth to the second berth;
• wherein the hook/catch assembly permits rotation of the first berth in a first path and the pin/receiving coupling assembly permits rotation of the second berth in a second path substantially perpendicular to the first path such that when the first berth is connected to the second berth using the cam assembly the crew berth assembly is restrained from motion in either the first or the second paths.

A method for supporting a crew berth assembly to a mobile platform, the crew berth assembly including at least a first berth having at least one hook member attached thereto and a second berth having at least one pin connected thereto, the crew berth assembly being suspended from a structure of the mobile platform using each of a hook engagement member and a pin receiving member attached to the structure of the mobile platform, the method comprising:

• rotating the first berth in a first direction to align the hook member attached to the first berth with the hook engagement member;
• engaging the hook member with the hook engagement member;
• aligning the pin connected to the second berth with the pin receiving member;
• and
• sliding the pin into the pin receiving member in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction to support the second berth from the structure.
