Description

    PRIORITY CLAIM
  • The present disclosure is a Divisional Non-Provisional patent application claiming the benefit of and priority to U.S. Non-Provisional patent application Ser. No. 15/799,504 filed on Oct. 31, 2017 and U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62/454,153 filed on Feb. 3, 2017, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
    • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • The potential for hard ground impact in an aircraft or other vehicle can lead to impact of passengers into seats located in front of the passenger's position. This impact can result in serious injury to passengers. Specifically, if a passenger's head impacts the back of a seat in front of the passenger, serious blunt force head trauma may result.
  • To reduce head injury in an impact scenario, air bags, upper torso restraints and seat back break over features are commonly employed. However, these devices are expensive to design and certify to applicable regulatory standards and have not proven to always perform in completely reliable manner. In addition, these devices add weight, complexity, increased maintenance costs, and reduce passenger comfort.
  • Therefore, a need exists for a seat backshell design that will absorb the energy of an impact to reduce injuries to passengers.
    • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • One embodiment of the present disclosure includes an energy absorbing backshell including a non-metallic core, a non-metallic casing surrounding the non-metallic core, and a tube on the top surface of the non-metallic core and non-metallic casing.
  • In another embodiment, the non-metallic core is adhered to the non-metallic casing by an adhesive.
  • In another embodiment, a cross section of the non-metallic core is honey combed shaped.
  • In another embodiment, the non-metallic core is made of a plurality of thin composite panels.
  • In another embodiment, a top surface of the non-metallic casing is affixed to the tube by a filler material.
  • In another embodiment, the tube is a bent metallic tube.
  • In another embodiment, the tube includes a curved back side that is connected to a straight side such that the curved side is opposite the straight side.
  • In another embodiment, a structural member may extend from an inner portion of the backshell of a first side of the backshell to an inner portion of an inner portion of a second side of the backshell.
  • In another embodiment, the first side is opposite the second side.
  • In another embodiment, a structural support back extending is formed along the periphery of a lower edge of the backshell.
  • Another embodiment of the present disclosure includes a method of forming an energy absorbing backshell, the method including the steps of forming a non-metallic casing surrounding the non-metallic core, and affixing a tube on the top surface of the non-metallic core and non-metallic casing.

  • In another embodiment a cross section of the non-metallic core is honey combed shaped.
  • In another embodiment, the non-metallic core is made of a plurality of thin composite panels.
  • Another embodiment includes the step of affixing a top surface of the non-metallic casing to the tube by a filler material.
  • In another embodiment, the tube is a bent metallic tube.
  • In another embodiment, the tube includes a curved back side that is connected to a straight side such that the curved side is opposite the straight side.
  • Another embodiment includes the step of forming a structural member extending from an inner portion of the backshell of a first side of the backshell to an inner portion of an inner portion of a second side of the backshell.
  • Another embodiment includes the step of forming a structural support back extending along the periphery of a lower edge of the backshell.

    •  DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
  • While various embodiments of the present invention are described herein, it will be apparent to those of skill in the art that many more embodiments and implementations are possible that are within the scope of this invention. Accordingly, the present invention is not to be restricted except in light of the attached claims and their equivalents.
  • FIG. 1 depicts a top view of an energy absorbing backshell 100. The backshell shell 102 is substantially curved and includes a structural support member 104. The structural support member 104 extends from the inner portion of one side of the backshell shell 102 to the inner portion of an opposite side of the backshell 102.
  • FIG. 2 depicts a perspective view of the energy absorbing backshell 100 in FIG. 1. The energy absorbing backshell 100 includes a structural support base portion 200. The structural support base portion 200 extends around the periphery of a lower portion of the backshell 100. An extension portion 202 of the structural base portion 200 extends beyond and edge of the backseat 100. FIG. 3 depicts a side view of the energy absorbing backshell 100. FIG. 4 depicts a top view of the bent metallic tube 400. The bent metallic tube 400 extends along the periphery of the top edge of the energy absorbing backshell 100.
  • FIG. 5 depicts a side view of the bent metallic tube 400. The side of the bent metallic tube 400 includes a substantially curved portion 500 connected to an end of a straight portion 502 that with the opposite end of the straight portion 502 being connected to a second curved portion 504. In one embodiment, the first curved portion 500 is substantially U shaped. In one embodiment, the second curved portion is not substantially U shaped.
  • FIG. 6 depicts a front view of the bent metallic tube 400. The bent metallic tube 400 includes a curved side 600 connected to a curved back side 602 that is connected to a straight side 604 such that the curved side 600 is opposite the straight side 604.
  • FIG. 7 depicts a detailed cut away view of the panel construction used in the design and manufacturing of the energy absorbing backshell 100. A non-metallic core 704 is encased in a non-metallic casing 704. The non-metallic core 704 is adhered to the non-metallic casing 702 by an adhesive film 706. In the embodiment of the energy absorbing shell 800 illustrated in FIGS. 8, 9, and 10, the non-metallic core 704 is comprised of honey combed shaped panels 802. In another embodiment, the non-metallic core 704 is made of plurality of thin composite panels. The bent metallic tube 400 is positioned on a self-expanding foam layer 708 on the top surface of the non-metallic core 704. The top surfaces of the non-metallic casing 702 are affixed to the bent metal tube 400 by a filler material 708.
  • By providing the structure described herein, a lighter weight backshell design can be achieved. Further, the design allows for local deformation at the point of impact of an object with the backshell. Specifically, the design allows for the absorption of larger forces resulting from the impact of an object.
  • In the present disclosure, the words “a” or “an” are to be taken to include both the singular and the plural. Conversely, any reference to plural items shall, where appropriate, include the singular.
  • It should be understood that various changes and modifications to the presently preferred embodiments disclosed herein will be apparent to those skilled in the art. Such changes and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure and without diminishing its intended advantages. It is therefore intended that such changes and modifications be covered by the appended claims.
