  • Patent number: 5186628
    Abstract: This invention relates to decoy devices and in particular decoy devices which deceptively simulate target objects such as artillery pieces, armoured vehicles or aircraft. According to the invention there is proposed a decoy device comprising a two dimensional simulation of a target object appearing upon a flexible sheet to the reverse side of which there is fitted a support system of parallel poles, such poles arranged in parallel being affixed to the sheet so that together with the target sheet bearing the simulation, they can be rolled up for transportation.

  • Patent number: 5035471
    Abstract: The invention relates to overhead luggage bins in the cabins of aircraft, the bin being either pre-existing or equipment to be newly fitted. Such bins have horizontally elongate frontal access openings. The invention provides that behind the main front door panel which closes such an opening there is provided transparent visor means which masks at least the lower part of the access opening while enabling objects within the bin to be seen. An essential feature is that the visor means are constituted by multiple part-visor located side by side, each of which are self latching on closure of the visor means, the part-visors being individually openable on unlocking of the latching means. This arrangement reduces the risk of heavy objects falling from the bin in that it militates against inadvertant simultaneous uncovering by one person, of the whole lateral width and extent of the frontal access opening of the bin.
