A seat mounting assembly, comprising:
- a swingarm configured for attachment to spaced-apart floor tracks;
- and
- a plinth having a seat mounted thereon mounted on the swingarm such that the swingarm is configured to deflect in a direction away from the plinth in response to floor deformation.
An assembly for mounting a suite-style seat supported on a plinth to spaced-apart floor tracks to isolate the plinth from floor deformation, the assembly comprising:
- a swingarm configured for attachment to spaced-apart floor tracks and engaging the plinth such that the swingarm deflects away from the plinth in response to floor deformation;
- and
- clevis sub-assemblies spaced apart from the swingarm and from each other and attaching the plinth to the spaced-apart floor tracks;
- wherein the swingarm engages the plinth at a forward end of the plinth and the clevis sub-assemblies engage the plinth at rear corners of the plinth.
