Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An inertia reel interface for stowable seats is provided. The inertia reel interface may allow for simple access and replacement of inertia reels during maintenance. The inertia reel interface may comprise an inertia reel beam, a payout tube, and one or more inertia reels coupled to the inertia reel beam. The inertia reel beam may deploy a shoulder harness webbing over the payout tube. The payout tube may pivot to a first access position or a second access position to allow for maintenance of the inertia reel interface components.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method of operating a stowable seat, comprising: pivoting a payout tube into a first access position and a second access position; removing a shoulder harness webbing from the payout tube, wherein in response to the payout tube being in the first access position the shoulder harness webbing is removed from a first end of the payout tube, and wherein in response to the payout tube being in the second access position the shoulder harness webbing is removed from a second end of the payout tube; and pivoting a backrest into an open position, wherein in response to the backrest being in the open position, an inertia reel interface is exposed. 2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising decoupling an inertia reel from an inertia reel beam. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein in the first access position the third end of the payout tube is pivotally coupled to a first inner surface of a housing, and in the second access position the fourth end of the payout tube is pivotally coupled to a second inner surface of the housing.
