  • Patent number: 10336457
    Abstract: A seat rail cover includes a retaining section, configured to be introduced at least partially into a part of the seat rail, and a cover section, configured to cover the seat rail when the retaining section is introduced into the seat rail. At least the cover section of the seat rail cover is formed in one piece by 3D printing. Geometry, surface texture, color composition and/or color pattern of at least a visible part of the cover section in the installed state of the seat rail cover are matched to a surface and/or a floor covering of a floor element next to a seat rail to which the seat rail cover is connectable. Furthermore, a floor element with a seat rail and a seat rail cover as well as an aircraft with such a floor element. A method for manufacturing a seat rail cover by 3D printing.

  • Patent number: 8448911
    Abstract: The invention relates to a rail arrangement for coupling a displaceable element to a support structure, wherein the rail arrangement comprises a guiding rail and a fitting. In this arrangement the fitting is connectable to the displaceable element, and the guiding rail is connectable to the support structure. The fitting is arranged in the guiding rail in such a way that the fitting can be displaced in longitudinal direction of the guiding rail; wherein the guiding rail is formed as an open-top hollow profile with a rail base. In this arrangement the rail base comprises at least one elevation that extends upwards (i.e. towards the open-top). The fitting comprises a bottom surface which in longitudinal direction is interrupted by a continuous groove, wherein the form of the groove of the fitting is designed in such a way that the fitting is guided by the elevation along the guiding rail.

  • Patent number: 8381771
    Abstract: The invention relates to a material feed receptacle for a thick matter pump comprising a receptacle lower part and a receptacle top that is detachably connected to the receptacle lower part, a two-part front wall, a rear wall, two two-part lateral walls, an upwardly pointing material feed opening delimited by a peripheral edge, and a pipe junction, which is situated inside the receptacle, can, on the entry side, swivel in an alternating manner in front of the delivery cylinder openings and which, on the output side, leads to a pressure pipe. The invention provides that the receptacle top has an upper lateral wall part and upper lateral wall parts, which have free ends and which extend away from the front wall part. The invention also provides that the peripheral edge has a first edge part, which forms an upper edge of the receptacle top, and ha a second edge part on the receptacle lower part, which is situated on the rear wall and is joined to the first edge part.

  • Publication number: 20100314505
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for holding lines in an aircraft that comprising at least one line inlet, at least one line outlet and at least one holding space for holding at least part of a line section extending between the line inlet and the line outlet, wherein the line section has a length that is equal to or greater than the clear distance between the relevant line inlet and line outlet, and wherein the holding space comprising means for separably holding, as well as for shortening or lengthening in a reversibly guided fashion, a line end that protrudes from the line inlet and/or line outlet. Due to the devices according to the invention, lines that are individually cut to length are no longer required for connecting reconfigurable rows of passenger seats because the device according to the invention releases or takes up excess line lengths depending on the position of the rows of passenger seats.

  • Patent number: 7647558
    Abstract: A graphical user interface (GUI) for presenting representations of selected objects in a computer system. The GUI presents an object selected from a collection of objects using a selected visual representation selected from at least first and second visual representations to be initiated using different initiation techniques. A first input control causes the selected object to be presented using another visual representation instead of the selected visual representation. A second input control causes another object to be presented instead of the selected object using any visual configuration that is currently used in presenting the selected object. The first and second input controls may be located in an object header area that remains essentially unchanged when changing between the at least first and second visual representations.
