  • Patent number: 7717371
    Abstract: A resting deck in an aircraft with a plurality of side-by-side arranged resting compartments, which are oriented in a special way and manner, in order to make use of the existing space as optimally as possible, and an aircraft, which is equipped with such a resting deck. The resting deck includes a plurality of side-by-side arranged, longitudinally extending resting compartments, which are defined on two, opposite longitudinal sides by a respective separating barrier, which separates adjacent resting compartments from one another, as well as a longitudinal resting surface, which is arranged in each of the plurality of the resting compartments, such that a longitudinal side of the resting surface extends along a longitudinal direction of the separating barrier and a slanting angle between the separating barrier and the fuselage axis in a forward direction is greater than 0° and less than 180°.

  • Patent number: 6886781
    Abstract: A baggage bin has a floor and side walls, and is lowerable from a housing. Guide bolts secured to one side wall are movably engaged in front and rear arcuate grooves with a common arc center point in the other side wall. A guide roller or slide block secured to one side wall is movably engaged in a linear guide track or groove on the other side wall. To lower the bin, it first moves linearly downward, until the rear guide bolt reaches an end of the rear groove, and then pivots about the rear guide bolt as the front guide bolt moves farther in the longer arc of the front groove, so that the front loading edge of the bin tilts downward. The components are simple, and the lateral space required between the side walls of the bin and the housing is small.
