  • Patent number: 11597518
    Abstract: An accommodation system for an accommodation space for storing rollable containers in a vehicle. After a front container, which is arranged at the insertion opening, has been removed in the conventional manner, it is possible, through the use of the accommodation system, to remove the rear container which is arranged considerably spaced apart from the insertion opening in the interior of the accommodation space. For this purpose, a rail system is provided in the floor region of the accommodation space. A transfer plate is movable on the rail system in the floor region of the accommodation space and can assume a storage position and a removal position for the rear container.

  • Patent number: 10882618
    Abstract: A multifunctional container system for producing a container for a cargo compartment of an aircraft includes a first lateral container component, which forms a first lateral surface of the container that is at least partially beveled, a first lower resting surface having first fastening devices and a first top side, a second lateral container component, which forms a second lateral surface of the container that is at least partially beveled, a second lower resting surface having second fastening devices and a second top side, and a floor cladding. The cladding is selectively positionable between the first resting surface and the second resting surface, which enclose a continuous gap to each other and comprise a predetermined distance to each other and to create a protrusion that faces away from the first and second top side. The protrusion extends into a recess of a floor in a cargo compartment.

  • Patent number: 9834309
    Abstract: An air supply system for passengers includes an air supply line with a plurality of laterally situated air outlets, an individual air panel with at least one air nozzle and an air inlet opening. The individual air panel can be variably positioned along the air supply line in such a way that the air inlet opening faces one of the air outlets. A plurality of magnetic valves is arranged at the air outlets of the air supply line. One of the magnetic valves may be magnetically actuated by the individual air panel, when the air inlet opening of the individual air panel faces said one magnetic valve, so that air can flow out of the air supply line through the air outlet and the air inlet opening to the air nozzle.

  • Patent number: 7588211
    Abstract: A baggage compartment includes a housing that has a baggage accommodation space, a hinged cover, a latching mechanism, an operating element and a covering element. By moving the hinged cover, the baggage accommodation space may be selectively made accessible or inaccessible. The latching mechanism may be partly placed on the hinged cover in such a way that the hinged cover and the housing may be selectively latched or unlatched by utilizing the operating element. The covering element is placed on the hinged cover such that it covers the latching mechanism but leaves the operating element accessible to the user for operation.

  • Patent number: 7478781
    Abstract: A joint cover in an aircraft has a clamp section and a cover section for covering a joint. The clamp section is used to mount the cover section over the joint. The joint cover conceals the joint and secures the joint from intrusion of foreign objects. One example presents information to passengers, incorporating visual displays or other devices within the cover section. For example, the joint cover may include a cover section and a clamp section of an elastic material that deforms under pressure, concealing the joint even during compression and decompression of the aircraft, which causes movement of the panels defining the joint.

  • Publication number: 20090000634
    Abstract: The inventive applicator (1) for applying a hair treatment agent, in particular for re-dying renewable hairs, to a hair-roots area comprises an application nozzle (3) for said hair-treatment agent, a distributor element (4) for distributing the applied hair-treatment agent and a closing element (5) for the application nozzle (3). The aim of said invention is to design an applicator which is usable by a layperson, makes it possible to carry out the accurate hair-treatment agent dosing, prevents from delivering other treatment products during distribution and which is easily mountable and producible. For the purpose, the distributor element (4) has operating and resting positions and the closing element (5) has a closed and open positions, wherein the distributor element (4) is mechanically coupled with the closing element (5) in such a way that said closing element (5) is in the closed position when the distributor element (4) is in the operating position.

  • Publication number: 20080277425
    Abstract: A container to hold at least one flowable product has at least one air space and at least one wall that is deformable at least in some section. When the container is deformed, pressure within an air space in said container is increased. The container has at least one mixing chamber and at least one connecting element which connects the mixing chamber to the air space. When there is an increase in pressure in the air space, air and the flowable product, which has a viscosity of less than 250 mPa*s at room temperature, and includes a proportion of foaming agents of greater than 10% by weight, can be brought together in the mixing chamber in an essentially turbulent manner.
