  • Patent number: 9802706
    Abstract: An adapter for receiving a vehicle attendant seat in a cabin of a vehicle comprises a flat retaining body, a receiving device for a vehicle attendant seat, at least one first pivoting means and at least one first securing means. The at least one first pivoting means is arranged on a pivoting edge of the retaining body and is adapted for forming a hinge with at least one correspondingly formed second pivoting means. The receiving device is arranged on a surface of the at least one retaining body, which surface extends parallel to the plane, and is adapted for mechanically connecting the vehicle attendant seat with the at least one retaining body. Thus in a vehicle cabin a vehicle attendant seat may be accommodated in a very space-saving manner even at locations to which in conventional vehicle operation access is required.

  • Patent number: 9598174
    Abstract: A vehicle lavatory, in particular an aircraft lavatory, is described. The lavatory includes a cabin space with a centrally located vertical axis around which a washstand and a urinal unit are located. The washstand and urinal unit are arranged to each have an approximately horizontal surface at their top, such that a person using the lavatory has a location to place personal items during use. The horizontal surfaces of the washstand and the urinal are arranged to exist in the same plane and may be a continuous surface that may additionally cross the entirety of the width of the cabin. The urinal is arranged such that a plane defining the opening of the urinal is at an angle relative to a plane defining a front surface of the washstand such that a person using the lavatory only has to turn slightly to access the urinal and the washstand.
