Holy shit. If this ever came true, there'd be a whole new list of items to add to the thread about annoying passengers on the plane

Another frivolous patent seeked "just in case".  Another example why the current patent laws needs to be disbanded. See also http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2014/06/how-amazon-got-a-patent-on-white-background-photography/.  Absurd!

That would be great. Over night flight, no backrest, you can't sleep. Have to sit upright the whole fight.

 

And no backrest of the seat infront of you, so you entertainment screen either.

I want to sniff the stewardesses seats.

[sunsandsurf]

its to hold up the drunks on flights with a bar and people are standing around drinking. if turbulence pops up, just grab a stool.

 

That's my theory anyway.
