Product overviewABC INTERNATIONAL offers a lightweight, easy-to-install Rigid Life-vest Stowage Box designed for integration with a wide range of aircraft seat configurations. The transparent, rigid container enables single-action extraction of the life-vest while featuring an anti-intrusion system and special seals to deter unauthorized removal and prevent introduction of foreign objects.
Design and user benefitsThe box is engineered for operator efficiency and airworthiness requirements:
- One-action, rapid life-vest extraction for crew and passenger safety checks
- Minimized in-service weight for seat-class optimization
- Custom sizes and flexible interfaces to fit multiple seat models
- Transparent material for fast visual inspection during transit checks
- Anti-intrusion mechanism and tamper-evident seals to reduce theft and tampering
Materials and manufacturingThe stowage box is injection-molded from flame-retardant, high-strength, UV-stabilized polycarbonate resin to ensure impact resistance and long service life. Units are delivered ready for installation and include an adaptable aluminum interface sheet to simplify mounting on common seat assemblies.
Customization and integrationThe modular design supports shape and dimension customization for full integration into new seating systems or to meet specific OEM requirements. Dedicated development can be provided to adapt the box to particular cabin layouts and seat architectures.
Certification and testingThe product is engineered to meet applicable airworthiness standards, is compliant with CS/AR 25.853(a) requirements, and has been tested as part of a seat system against CS/FAR 25.562. ABC INTERNATIONAL can perform retrofit installations under its Part21J privileges and collaborate with seat OEMs for integration projects.
ApplicationsSized to accommodate common standard single-cell passenger life preservers, the box is suitable for airlines, seat manufacturers and OEM integrations where durability, rapid visual inspection and theft prevention are required.
