  • Patent number: 11890980
    Abstract: A table arrangement has a mounting element to be fastened to a fastening structure element. A first table element is connected to the mounting element, pivotally relative to the mounting element about a first pivot axis between a stowage position, in which the first table element extends substantially parallel to a mounting plane defined by the mounting element, and a position of use, in which the first table element extends substantially perpendicular to the mounting plane. A second table element is connected to the first table element substantially parallel to the first table element and rotatable relative to the first table element about a rotation axis that is parallel to the mounting plane in the position of use.

  • Patent number: 11873106
    Abstract: The invention relates to a cabin air inlet module (16). The cabin air inlet module (16) comprises a streaming channel body (8). The streaming channel body (8) comprises at least one wall which limits a streaming channel wherein incoming air (5) is supplied to a zone (2) of a cabin (3). The cabin air inlet module (16) comprises an electric heating element (9) which is used for heating the incoming air (5). According to the invention it is proposed that the electric heating element (9) is embodied as a two-dimensional heating element (in particular as a heating paper, a heating web, a heating foil or a heating varnish). The two-dimensional heating element extends along a wall of the streaming channel body (8). The inventive cabin air inlet module (16) is arranged upstream with a small distance (25) from an inlet opening (6) into the zone (2) of the cabin (3). The inventive cabin air inlet module (16) is used for a tempering zones (2) of a cabin (3) of an airplane according to the needs.

  • Patent number: 11691712
    Abstract: A window unit for an aircraft includes a wall module having a side wall laterally delimiting an aircraft cabin. The side wall has a window opening and the wall module has retaining portions. A window module has a window frame accommodating at least one windowpane and the window module has fastening portions. A fastening configuration fastens the window module on the side wall in a region of the window opening. The fastening configuration is formed by a respective fastening portion engaging with a respective retaining portion. The retaining portions and the fastening portions are movable into a plug-in position by a plug-in movement of the window module and are movable from the plug-in position into a securing position by a rotary movement of the window module. The wall module and the window module are interconnected by a form-locking connection in the securing position.

  • Patent number: 11271454
    Abstract: An actuator producing an active movement between fastening elements of the actuator and damping a counter movement contains a main body having a first fastening element, an actuating body movable relative to the main body along an axial direction and having a second fastening element, and an electric motor for actively driving the actuating body exclusively in a driving direction along the axial direction and for passively damping a counter movement of the actuating body counter to the driving direction being brought about by external action on the fastening elements. An object assembly contains an object and the actuator in which the spring element is structurally separate from the rest of the actuator, and an interaction between the spring element and the rest of the actuator is achieved in an object to be operated by the actuator, at least in a correctly mounted state of the actuator.

  • Patent number: 11254432
    Abstract: A storage compartment for the overhead region of a passenger cabin of a passenger aircraft has a carrier which can be mounted in the passenger aircraft, and a pivoting part for receiving a storage item. The pivoting part is mounted on the carrier so as to be pivotable about a pivot axis in a pivoting region between an open position and a closing position. The storage compartment further contains a closing force module. The closing force module contains a switching module by which the closing force module can be brought into an active state or into a passive state. In the active state, a greater closing moment is brought about in the direction of the closing position on the pivoting part by the closing force module, at least in a partial region of the pivoting region, than in the passive state. The closing force module is configured free from electricity with respect to the generation of the closing moment and/or with respect to the switching over between the active state and passive state.

  • Patent number: 11192650
    Abstract: An overhead stowage compartment of a passenger aircraft includes a carrier and a pivoting part being pivotable about a pivot axis and rotatable in a pivoting range at least between an open position and a closing position. A resetting device brings about a closing force in the direction of the closing position at a gripping point of the pivoting part. The closing force is greater than and opposed to the gravitational force, which is effective at the gripping point, by using the unloaded pivoting part. The stowage compartment has a holding device through the use of which the pivoting part can be held at the open position.

  • Patent number: 10786942
    Abstract: A process produces a tubular hybrid molding made of a plastics foam element that exhibits temperature-dependent shrinkage and a fiber-plastics composite. The method includes inserting the plastics foam element, unhardened first and second fiber-plastics composite sections into a mold, where the plastics foam element has open pores at locations in contact with the fiber-plastics composite. The plastics foam element and the fiber-plastics composite sections are shaped by the mold. The mold is exposed to a first temperature to minimize the viscosity of the resin in the fiber-plastics composite. The mold is exposed to a second temperature to harden the fiber-plastics composite and to achieve mechanical fixing of the plastics foam element thereon. The mold is exposed to a third temperature to shrink the plastics foam element and cause its shape to conform to that of the mold and achieve a final shape of the said element.

  • Patent number: 10625860
    Abstract: A tongue module for a partition, which can be mounted underneath a storage compartment in a passenger cabin of a passenger aircraft, has a base support, which can be attached to a fixed section of the partition. The fixed section can be mounted in the passenger cabin. The tongue module has a tongue, which is guided on the base support in such a way as to be movable, and a guiding device for the tongue. The guiding device has a first guiding section for the translational movement of the tongue between a release position and an intermediate position. A second guiding section is provided for the rotation of the tongue about a rotational axis between the intermediate position and a closed position.
