  • Patent number: 9919798
    Abstract: A system for moving loads including a cargo compartment floor into which there is integrated at least one roller conveyor permitting displacement of a load in a direction parallel to a surface of said cargo compartment floor. The system also comprises a transport vehicle comprising a drive system and a platform movable between a first operating position and a second operating position. In its first operating position, the platform is arranged such that the transport vehicle is positionable under a load which is supported on the roller conveyor integrated into the cargo compartment floor. In its second operating position, the platform is arranged such that the load is entrained when a movement of the transport vehicle occurs in a direction parallel to the surface of the cargo compartment floor, and is displaced on the roller conveyor integrated into said cargo compartment floor.

  • Patent number: 8613407
    Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement for dividing a space into a plurality of areas, said arrangement comprising at least one frame with at least one fixing means for holding the frame in corresponding frame receiving elements, and at least one foldable defining means. The frame is formed in such a way that the arrangement essentially fits onto at least one wall of the space when it is fixed, the foldable defining means being able to be held on the frame and preventing an air flow between adjacent areas of the space separated by the arrangement. The arrangement according to the invention enables a thermal separation of two adjacent areas of a space, that can each be air-conditioned differently, without forming an area containing air which is a mixture from two regions at different temperatures.

  • Patent number: 5957640
    Abstract: In a system for locking freight or cargo, especially in the freight hold of an aircraft, including guide rails along which the units of freight are guided, and YZ-locking devices for securing or locking the freight units against motion in the Y- and Z-directions, one or more X-locking devices are further provided for locking the freight units against motion in the X-direction. The X-locking devices are mounted directly on the guide rails, which are arranged between respective YZ-locking devices. Each X-locking device includes a mounting base (5) that is fixedly mounted on the guide rail (1), and a locking member (6) that is pivotally connected to the mounting base (5) so as to be tiltable or pivotable about an axis (7) extending parallel to the lengthwise extension of the guide rail (1) or X-direction.
