Patent number: 9783301Abstract: A handling system for handling objects in a vehicle comprises a storage apparatus that is positionable outside a vehicle cabin, an access device that is positionable in a vehicle cabin, and a transport device for transporting objects between the storage apparatus and the access device. The storage apparatus comprises a storage space and a connection station that is connectable to the transport device, wherein the storage apparatus comprises at least one drive device for moving carriers on which objects to be stored are held. The handling system comprises at least one guiding device that with the drive device guides the carriers on at least one circular path within the storage space. The storage space thus comprises a vertical flat shape that results in a significantly smaller reduction in the available cargo volume in a vehicle, while at the same time maximizing the design space available for passenger seats.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2012Date of Patent: October 10, 2017Assignee: AIRBUS OPERATIONS GMBHInventors: Ralf Schliwa, Homayoun Dilmaghani, Ulrich Pohl, Herbert Steinbeck, Maria Strasdas

Patent number: 9656751Abstract: A modular cabin segment for a vehicle includes a first lateral segment module accommodating a first toilet arrangement with a toilet compartment, a second lateral segment module, and at least one central module, wherein in each case an outer lateral face of the first segment module and of the second lateral segment module is designed to adapt in each case to an inner wall of a cabin of the vehicle so as to correspond to the aforesaid. At least one of the modules includes a cabin attendant seat that on one side is held on the at least one module so that it can be pivoted on an axis. In this manner very good integration of many different functions in the manner of a construction kit is achieved in order to be able to accommodate a greater number of passenger seats elsewhere within the limited space provided in a cabin.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2016Date of Patent: May 23, 2017Assignee: Airbus Operations GmbHInventors: Ralf Schliwa, Maria Strasdas

Patent number: 9382005Abstract: A cabin segment for a vehicle includes two or more parking spaces, arranged side by side and separated from each other by at least one intermediate wall, for accommodating serving trolleys, and furthermore a vehicle attendant seat which on one side is held on one of the at least one intermediate walls so as to be pivotable on an axis. The vehicle attendant seat is pivotable to an in-use position and to an out-of-the-way position. The in-use position and the out-of-the-way position are situated apart by 90° or more relative to the pivoting of the vehicle attendant seat. This makes possible particularly efficient use of space without having to forego parking spaces or a vehicle attendant seat.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2013Date of Patent: July 5, 2016Assignee: Airbus Operations GmbHInventors: Ralf Schliwa, Maria Strasdas

Patent number: 9346548Abstract: A toilet arrangement for a vehicle includes a first toilet compartment, an adjacent second toilet compartment and a partition wall situated between the first toilet compartment and the second toilet compartment, wherein the partition wall is movably supported and designed for being transferred into an open position, in which the partition between the first toilet compartment and the second toilet compartment is removed. This makes it possible to convert two relatively small toilet compartments into a larger toilet compartment that is suitable for use by persons with limited mobility.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2014Date of Patent: May 24, 2016Assignee: Airbus Operations GmbHInventors: Ralf Schliwa, Andreas Barber, Maria Strasdas

Publication number: 20120048998Abstract: An arrangement is provided for accommodating passengers in a transportation device that includes, but is not limited to a first positioning space, a second positioning space and a third positioning space that are arranged side by side on a shared positioning area. Two of the positioning spaces comprise an accommodation unit for accommodating a passenger, while one of the positioning spaces is equipped to accommodate a stowage cabinet. The stowage cabinet includes, but is not limited to a first stowage compartment for accommodating a wheelchair which has been folded to its transport position. In this way, persons with restricted mobility can bring along a wheelchair in the transportation means without there being a need to sacrifice additional passenger seat capacity for accommodating a wheelchair brought along in the passenger cabin. Preferably the positioning area is in a region of the passenger cabin close to a door, in which region usually a galley is installed.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 25, 2011Publication date: March 1, 2012Applicant: AIRBUS OPERATIONS GMBHInventors: Ralf SCHLIWA, Maria STRASDAS, Wolfgang MOELLER
