Abstract: A swivel locking system for preventing swiveling of a seat frame includes a locking pin and a series of pulleys along with a housing attached to a swivel plate. The locking pin is located in the housing and is biased to be extended downwardly through an aperture in the swivel plate and retracted from the aperture via a cable. The seat frame is able to be swiveled when the locking pin is retracted from the aperture, thereby unlocking the seat frame from a bottom support.

Abstract: A system for positioning a seat and locking it into a desired position. The system may include a seat mounted to a plurality of movable track members that allow an occupant to position a seat. The track members may be locked in place with one or more spring biased locking mechanisms that selectively engage the track members to keep the seat fixed in a desired position. The locking members may be engaged or disengaged using a series of cables. In one embodiment, a master cable is run to a handle on the side of the seat, which can be manipulated by an occupant to selectively engage and disengage the locking mechanisms.

Abstract: A mechanical logic gate system for an aircraft seat which includes a flywheel operatively connected to a pivot tube and control cables. The control cables attach to swivel locking and tracking mechanisms which enable swiveling and tracking of the aircraft seat. Spring pin plungers are configured to extend into the flywheel for locking it in place. When both spring pin plungers are retracted from the flywheel via control cables, the aircraft seat is disabled from swiveling.
