Knee Defender
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
The Knee Defender is a device that an airplane passenger can place on the struts that support his/her drop-down airplane seat tray table to limit the extent to which the seat directly in front of him/her can be reclined.[1] The device was invented by Ira Goldman, and it was first sold to the public in 2003.[2][3]
Controversy
In August 2014, on a United Airlines flight from Newark to Denver, an argument developed between a passenger using a Knee Defender and the passenger seated in front of him who wanted to recline. Ultimately the pilot diverted the flight to Chicago and both of those passengers were deplaned.[4]
