Offset leg assembly for aircraft passenger seats

A leg assembly for an aircraft passenger seat, the leg assembly comprising:

• a forward leg assembly, comprising:
• a forward base leg portion having a lower end configured to operably couple to a forward seat track coupling assembly;
• and
• a forward upper leg portion coupled to a lateral side of an upper end of the forward base leg portion opposite the lower end, wherein the forward upper leg portion has a forward aperture configured to receive a forward base frame tube of the aircraft passenger seat;
• and
• an aft leg assembly laterally aligned with and positioned apart from the forward leg assembly, the aft leg assembly comprising:
• an aft base leg portion having a lower end configured to operably couple to an aft seat track coupling assembly;
• and
• an aft upper leg portion coupled to a lateral side of an upper end of the aft base leg portion opposite the lower end, wherein the aft upper leg portion has an aft aperture configured to receive an aft base frame tube of the passenger seat,
• wherein the forward and aft upper leg portions are respectively positioned laterally offset from the forward and aft seat track coupling assemblies along the forward and aft base frame tubes.

A passenger seat, comprising:

• a seat back;
• a seat base frame assembly operably coupled between a seat track of an aircraft fuselage and the seat back, the seat base frame assembly comprising:
• a forward base frame tube;
• an aft base frame tube spaced apart from the forward base frame tube;
• a forward leg assembly including a forward base leg portion and a forward upper leg portion coupled to a lateral side of an upper end of the forward base leg portion, wherein the forward upper leg portion has a forward aperture for receiving the forward base frame tube;
• and
• an aft leg assembly laterally aligned with and positioned apart from the forward leg assembly, the aft leg assembly including an aft base leg portion and an aft upper leg portion coupled to a lateral side of an upper end of the aft base leg portion, wherein the aft upper leg portion has an aft aperture for receiving the aft base frame tube,
• wherein the forward and aft upper leg portions are positioned laterally offset from the seat track along the forward and aft base frame tubes.
