Abstract

A spring-based seat diaphragm may include at least one support diaphragm component. The at least one support diaphragm component may be transversely coupled to the first structural beam and the second structural beam. The spring-based seat diaphragm may include at least one spring. The at least one spring may be proximate to the at least one support diaphragm component. The at least one spring may be parallel to or positioned transverse to the at least one support diaphragm component between the first primary spreader and the second primary spreader. The at least one spring may include a plurality of bends configured to distribute user weight applied to a cushion installed on the aircraft seat over the spring-based seat diaphragm. The spring-based seat diaphragm may be configured to support an aft portion of the cushion. The first structural beam may be configured to support a forward portion of the cushion.

Dependent claims

A spring-based seat diaphragm for an aircraft seat, comprising:

at least one auxiliary spreader, the at least one auxiliary spreader being transversely coupled to a first structural beam and a second structural beam, the at least one auxiliary spreader being positioned between a first primary spreader and a second primary spreader, the first primary spreader and the second primary spreader being parallel to the at least one auxiliary spreader, the first primary spreader and the second primary spreader being transversely coupled to the first structural beam and the second structural beam;
and
at least one spring, the at least one spring being proximate to the at least one auxiliary spreader, the at least one spring being parallel to the at least one auxiliary spreader, the at least one spring being between the first primary spreader and the second primary spreader, the at least one spring including a plurality of bends configured to distribute user weight applied to a cushion installed on the aircraft seat over the spring-based seat diaphragm,
the spring-based seat diaphragm being configured to support an aft portion of the cushion, the first structural beam being configured to support a forward portion of the cushion.
