Dual Track Light-Limiting Header Assembly - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17825091 titled 'Dual Track Light-Limiting Header Assembly

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a header assembly for an aircraft cabin that includes multiple tracks and movable panels made from an opaque material.

  • The header assembly is designed to create an enclosed space within the aircraft cabin by deploying the movable panels within the tracks.
  • The movable panels are made from an opaque material, which prevents light from entering an adjacent region of the aircraft cabin interior.
  • The purpose of the invention is to provide a means of blocking light and creating privacy within the aircraft cabin.
  • The header assembly is specifically designed for use in aircraft cabins.
  • The use of separate movable panels allows for flexibility in adjusting the size and shape of the enclosed space.
  • The opaque material used for the movable panels ensures that no light can pass through, providing complete privacy.
  • The invention may improve the comfort and experience of passengers by allowing them to control the amount of light entering their designated area within the aircraft cabin.
