Patent number: 10882567Abstract: A rail system for a cabin of the vehicle comprises a rail with a main extension direction, a fixing element which can be fixed at various positions of the rail to hold a mounting element on the rail, and a cover device for covering the rail. The cover device has several planar cover elements arranged in continuous series extending along the rail, wherein the cover elements are each mounted so as to be pivotable between a closed state in which the respective cover element lies on the rail and an open state in which the respective cover element is removed from the rail. The fixing element has an engagement element which is configured, on displacement of the fixing element along the rail, to reach below a cover element and move the cover element from the closed state to the open state.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2019Date of Patent: January 5, 2021Assignee: AIRBUS OPERATIONS GMBHInventors: Alexander Schulz, Lars Schomacker, Malte Fuerstenberg, Sergej Schwenk, Rainer Ristow

Patent number: 10858110Abstract: A connection system for electrically connecting a fixture in a vehicle has at least one cable, and a housing with a cable inlet and a cable outlet, and with a receiving space which is formed in the housing and extends helically along a housing axis with a receiving space cross section from the cable inlet towards the cable outlet. The cable has a cable cross section and runs completely through the receiving space from the cable inlet towards the cable outlet, with cable coils being formed. A radial extent of the cable cross section is smaller than a radial extent of the receiving space cross section. Therefore, different lengths of the at least one cable can be accommodated in the receiving space with different coil diameters being formed.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2019Date of Patent: December 8, 2020Assignee: AIRBUS OPERATIONS GMBHInventors: Malte Fuerstenberg, Sergej Schwenk, Rainer Ristow, Lars Schomaker, Alexander Schulz

Patent number: 10112347Abstract: An apparatus for manufacturing components from a fiber-reinforced composite material by a generative layer construction process including a control device and a tool head fastened to a carrier arm movable via the carrier arm in three spatial directions. The tool head comprises a feed device configured to feed to the tool head a semi-finished layer comprising reinforcing fibers impregnated with a curable plastic material. A shaping device, via movement of the tool head, applies a force to shape the semi-finished layer. A curing device introduces energy into the semi-finished layer, the energy curing the plastic material in the semi-finished layer. The control device controls the movement of the tool head as well as the operations of the feed device, the shaping device and the curing device wherein semi-finished layers are repeatedly fed, shaped, cured and stacked one on top of another to construct the component layer by layer.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2015Date of Patent: October 30, 2018Assignee: AIRBUS OPERATIONS GMBHInventor: Malte Fuerstenberg

Publication number: 20180148171Abstract: A construction group of an aircraft for feeding a line to a connector section of the cabin module includes a flex zone for providing of at least one cabin module having a connector section for physical connection to a line of the aircraft. The flex zone is configured to receive different cabin modules and/or a cabin module at different positions. The construction group further includes a guide element for guiding the line to be connected to the connector section along the fuselage of the aircraft, and a support element extending along the flex zone for feeding the line from the guide element to the connector section, wherein during the receiving of the construction group in the aircraft, the longitudinal axis of the support element includes a component in direction of the attitudinal axis of the aircraft.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 14, 2017Publication date: May 31, 2018Applicant: Airbus Operations GmbHInventors: Sebastian Scheffler, Anja Wessels, Malte Fuerstenberg, Benjamin Klotz, Olaf Glaesker, Zoltan Czudar, Ines Dittmann, Bernd Kazmeier
