Patent number: 8998313Abstract: A passenger seat has a backrest and a seat which has first and second sections each having a first surface for a seat area and a second opposite surface. The second section pivots relative to the first section between a first position, in which the first surfaces of the first and second sections form a usable total seat area, and a second operational position, in which the second section is folded relative to the first section in the direction towards the backrest. Attached to the second seat section is a holder movable relative to the second surface of the second seat section between a first position, in which the holder extends substantially parallel to the second surface of the second seat section, and a second position, in which the holder extends at from 60° to 120° relative to the second surface of the second seat section.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2012Date of Patent: April 7, 2015Assignee: Airbus Operations GmbHInventors: Jan Reh, Andrew Muin, Martin Dehn, Peter Sander

Patent number: 8469310Abstract: The idea of the present invention is that an airfreight container according to the invention, which is designed especially for an unpressurized cargo hold of an aircraft, comprises an airtight and pressure-tight container housing with a container interior space for accommodating airfreight goods. This airfreight container furthermore comprises an internal compressed air generating device which is designed for independently generating compressed air for supplying the container interior space with compressed air. The concept according to the invention of an at least partly autonomous airfreight container, which is created as a result, provides that the airfreight container according to the invention, in addition to the pure bundling of goods, now provides, moreover, different supply systems, such as the device for compressed air generation and compressed air provision, corresponding to the specific requirements.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2008Date of Patent: June 25, 2013Assignee: Airbus Operations GmbHInventors: Daniel Glaser, Oliver Thomaschewski, Peter Theis, Alexander Wieser, Andrew Muin, Markus Schumacher

Patent number: 8074928Abstract: A floor system for a fuselage section of an aircraft is provided. The floor system has an essentially self-supporting design and is substantially mechanically separate from the fuselage section as primary structure. Consequent to the free or self-supporting design of the floor system in the fuselage cell, the layout of the floor system along an aircraft axis can be matched to customer specifications in a simple manner without reference to structural boundary conditions of the fuselage structure. A floor surface for the floor system is formed from a number of floor elements which can be fitted with functional elements, wherein filling of empty spaces or cavities can be achieved with a number of floor equalization elements. As the floor elements have a relatively large support or fixing surface the loads induced by the functional elements are introduced into the floor system distributed over a large area such that the structural components thereof can be of a structurally lighter and thus weight-saving size.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2010Date of Patent: December 13, 2011Assignee: Airbus Operations GmbHInventors: Cord Haack, Markus Schumacher, Andrew Muin, Ian Scoley

Patent number: 7726607Abstract: A flight passenger seat for an airplane. The flight passenger seat may comprise a back element, a seat element and an arm rest. The seat element, back element, and arm rest may be pivotable. Reset elements for an automatic pivoting may be integrated into the back element and the seat element in such a way that they occupy as little traffic area space as possible. In an advantageous manner, this allows for an enlargement of a traffic area in an airplane and thereby may effectuate a reduction of a “turn around” time of an airplane.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2005Date of Patent: June 1, 2010Assignee: Airbus Deutschland GmbHInventors: Markus Schumacher, Andrew Muin
