Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A divider unit ( 100 ) for a passenger seat has a slide rail ( 120 ) that is fixed onto a side shell ( 12 ) surrounding the seat. A plate-like divider ( 150 ) is equipped with two linear guides ( 170 ) inserted in the slide rail ( 120 ) and slides within the slide rail ( 120 ). A stopper ( 130 ) attached to a front end of the slide rail ( 120 ) has a tapered surface ( 132 ), and the divider ( 150 ) is stopped when a front end of the divider ( 150 ) rides over the tapered surface ( 132 ), thereby preventing generation of collision noise.
