Abstract: A beam clamp (124) for a passenger seat includes a keyhole (126) configured to flex outwardly from an un-flexed position to a flexed position. The diameter of the keyhole in the un-flexed position is less than the diameter of the keyhole in the flexed position. A method of assembling the passenger seat includes assembling a seat base and connecting a seat back to the seat base. Assembling the seat base includes flexing the keyhole of the beam clamp outwards from the un-flexed position to the flexed position and inserting a support beam within the keyhole in the flexed position.

Abstract: An anti-rattle system for a passenger seat includes a foot pad. The foot pad includes an upper surface, a lower surface, and a protrusion extending outward from the lower surface of the foot pad. A method of securing a passenger seat with the anti-rattle system includes providing a seat track defining a track channel. The method further includes securing a leg assembly of the passenger seat to the seat track by adjusting the anti-rattle device such that a forward stud of the leg assembly engages track lips within the channel and the foot pad of the anti-rattle device engages an upper surface of the seat track. Adjusting the anti-rattle device includes positioning the protrusion in a track opening forward of the forward stud.

Abstract: Described are track fitting assemblies for passenger seats. Each track fitting assembly includes a track fitting main body and an anti-rattle shear body. The track fitting main body is connectable to a leg of the passenger seat and includes a forward end, an aft end, and at least one stud configured to engage a track. The anti-rattle shear body is positionable on the track fitting main body and is movable relative to the track fitting main body. The anti-rattle shear body includes a forward end, an aft end, and a plunger at the forward end and configured to engage the track. The anti-rattle shear body is connected to the track fitting main body such that the plunger of the anti-rattle shear body is forward of the forward end of the track fitting main body.
