  • Patent number: 7942430
    Abstract: A device for accommodating objects, in particular for use in an airplane, comprising a housing, which has an access opening, as well as a door which is connected to the housing by at least one hinge so as to be pivotable between an open position and a closed position. The hinge defines a pivot axis for pivoting the door. The access opening is at least partially clear in the open position of the door and the access opening is at least partially closed off by the door in the closed position of the door. The door is lockable relative to the housing in its closed position. The door, in its closed position, is movable in a direction which extends substantially parallel to the pivot axis between a locked position and an unlocked position. The door, in its locked position, is locked relative to the housing, and the door, in its unlocked position, is pivotable about the pivot axis.

  • Patent number: 7287820
    Abstract: The invention relates to a drawer comprising a bottom surface (11), two opposing side walls (12,13) and a top surface (14). The side walls are each provided at the top with a recess (15) that extends over the entire side wall, is open towards the outside of the drawer and is delimited from above by a support body (16). Viewed in the vertical direction, the recesses are a recess distance (x) away from the top surface. Viewed in the horizontal direction, the outsides of the support bodies have an external support body spacing (v). The sidewalls are each provided with a supporting foot (17) that extends along the entire sidewall. Viewed in the vertical direction, the supporting foot extends to a supporting foot depth (y) below the bottom surface. Viewed horizontally, the insides of the supporting feet have an internal supporting foot spacing (w).
