ABSTRACT:
A saddle assembly for securing an aircraft seat to a seat leg assembly wherein the seat leg assembly has a pair of elongated openings and a chamber formed therein. A compression tube extends through the chamber formed in the seat leg such that opposite ends of the tube extend outwardly to be engaged by a pair of slide blocks mounted on opposite sides of the leg. A saddle, having spaced legs, supports the pair of slide blocks adjacent end portions of the compression tube such that an upward force on the saddle moves the slide blocks into engagement with opposite ends of the compression tube for dissipating energy.
