  • Patent number: 5311643
    Abstract: A hinge for a foldable rail section for mounting a container of an oxygen supply unit in an aircraft, with a first hinge part on the rail section and a second hinge part on the edge of the container, and with a container door, which extends in parallel to the longitudinal side of the rail section and is pivotable around a joint on the rear edge of the container. The connection of the hinge to the container is simplified, and a stop is provided for the container door.

  • Patent number: 5253907
    Abstract: A locking device for a door (3) of a container that is pivotable around a hinge with a first locking part (5) arranged stationary on the container, and a coupling pin (7) connected to the door (3). The coupling pin acts together with the first locking part (5) in an interlocking manner. Such that a simple adjustment of the door (3) is possible, it is provided that the first locking part (5) is attached outside the container on a mounting plane (6) which is integral with the container in the over-lapping area of the door (3), the coupling pin (7) is stroke-changeably mounted in a pin holding device (25), and that the coupling pin (7) has a first adjustment device (27) on its top end pointing to the rocker arm (18), with which, by action of an adjusting tool, which can be inserted into the locking piston (13) from the rocker arm, the depth of engagement of the coupling pin (7) into the first locking part ( 5), which determines the play between the container and the door (3), is changeable.

  • Patent number: 5213380
    Abstract: A testing device (1) with a test button (4) and a rod-shaped plunger (5) for testing a locking device that can be actuated on a door (2) pivotable around a hinge on a container (3) is to be improved in terms of simple design and mounting. To simplify design and mounting, a fastening structure (8, 7) for the movable, rotatable mounting of the testing device (1) is arranged on the door (2). The end (13) of the plunger pointing toward the container (3) is provided with a holding structure (14) which is introduced into a mounting support (16) arranged permanently on the container (3) such that the holding structure (14) is out of engagement with the mounting support (16) in normal operation, and in testing operation. The holding structure engages the mounting support (16) in such a way as to limit the pivoting stroke of the door (2).
