Abstract: A movable passenger bridge for embarking and disembarking a ship includes sections, each pair of adjacent sections connected at respective ends by shorter transfer sections, arranged so that passengers can walk from section to section. The sections and the transfer sections are supported by a framework of steel beams. The sections are displaceably arranged relative to the framework, forming an angle relative to the horizontal plane, accommodating a height difference between first and second ports. The framework is supported by wheel arrangements that abut against a quay. An entry module by the first port, on the one hand is connectable to a first of the sections, on the other hand is connected to the transfer section which is located closest to and lying in the same vertical plane as the entry module, whereby a connection can be established from the entry module directly into the second transfer section.

Abstract: Ramp for a movable passenger bridge, which passenger bridge includes movable sections, arranged to be adapted to an opening in the hull of a ship, which sections are arranged so that passengers can walk from one section into an adjacent section and to a finishing section arranged to be connected to an opening in the hull of the ship, wherein the ramp is arranged at the finishing section and projects from the finishing section into the ship when docked with the ship. The ramp includes two or more parallel footpaths for passengers, in that each footpath includes a plate which is foldable so that it can be folded out and folded up, in that each plate is essentially horizontal in its folded out state and essentially vertical in its folded up state, whereby each plate in its folded up state forms a wall for blocking of the footpath in question.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for connecting the outer end of a telescopically extendable passenger bridge to an aircraft door aft of the wing. An inner part of the bridge is connected to a terminal building by a rotunda, and the outer part of the bridge carries a cabin for connection to the aircraft at a passenger door. The bridge is movable by a drive system positioned at the outermost end of the inner part of the bridge, and the outer part is pivotable in a vertical plane relative to the inner part. The bridge is moved to a docking position, and the drive system is positioned close to the leading edge of the aircraft wing. After telescopically extending the inner part of the bridge, the outer part is swung downward and is telescopically extended to an end position at which the cabin is docked against the aircraft body.

Abstract: One end of a passenger bridge or a goods-handling device of mobile type can be expediently and securely connected to a door on a craft, especially an aircraft, by determining the position of the door in relation to a reference point on the craft and storing it in a computer system. Furthermore, the absolute position of the door when the craft has come to a halt and the passenger bridge or the goods-handling device is to be connected, is determined by measuring the distance from a reference point on the ground to the craft. Finally, the computer system guides the passenger bridge to the door of the craft, the position of the end of the passenger bridge or the goods-handling device being determined during the guiding operation and inputted into the computer system.
