  • Patent number: 9045214
    Abstract: A door assembly for a vehicle with two door leaves is stated. In each case the door leaves can be opened in such a manner that the maximum angle of opening between them can be limited. After a door leaf has been opened, the door leaves can thus only be pivoted together so that opening the first door leaf results in closing the second door leaf. As a result of this, access to a space in a vehicle may be controlled.

  • Publication number: 20140339363
    Abstract: An aircraft monument for installation in an aircraft cabin including a first functional module, the first functional module including a side wall for delimiting the first functional module from a region of the aircraft cabin adjacent to the first functional module and/or from a region of the aircraft monument adjacent to the first functional module. The side wall is movable between a first and a second operational position and comprises a side-wall region which merely in the second operational position of the side wall serves for delimiting the first functional module from a region of the aircraft cabin adjacent to the first functional module, so that a movement of the side wall out of its first operational position into its second operational position results in an enlargement of a base area of the first functional module.

  • Publication number: 20140339360
    Abstract: An aircraft monument for installation in an aircraft cabin comprising a first functional module, a second functional module and a side wall for delimiting the first module from at least one of a region of the aircraft cabin adjacent to the first module and a region of the aircraft monument adjacent to the first module. The side wall is movable between a first and a second operational position and comprises a first side-wall region separating the first and second functional modules and in the second operational position, the side wall is displaced in the direction of the second module relative to its position in the first operational position, so that a movement of the side wall from its first operational position into its second operational position results in an enlargement of a base area of the first module and a corresponding diminution of a base area of the second module.

  • Publication number: 20140115966
    Abstract: A security door comprises a frame structure, having a lateral surface in which a plurality of doorways are constructed. A first doorway has a first width along an inner circumference of the frame structure, and lateral surface portions delimiting the first doorway in a first direction and a second direction, opposing the first direction, along the inner circumference of the frame structure have a second width. A lock element is received in the frame structure and comprises a first segment, movable along the frame structure inner circumference relative to the frame structure, and a second segment, movable independently of the first segment along the inner circumference relative to the frame structure. The first segment is dimensioned so that, in a position in which it closes the first doorway, it also closes a second doorway adjacent to the first doorway in the first direction along the frame structure inner circumference.

  • Patent number: 8602354
    Abstract: The invention relates to a rest compartment arrangement in an aircraft, comprising a rest compartment and at least one monument, wherein the rest compartment is arranged above a cabin floor and comprises a passage that extends from a rest compartment floor in the direction of the cabin floor. When compared to the state of the art, the invention is characterized in that the at least one monument comprises at least one wall which above a seat region situated therein forms a recess to accommodate the passage. As a result of this, monuments can be positioned in a space-saving manner underneath the passage in the cabin without this resulting in reduced comfort, because the recess above the seat region is not perceived to be distracting by the passenger.
