Abstract: The invention relates mainly to a closure device, notably for closing a passage formed in a cabin of an aircraft, comprising: a support means that is able to slide along a slideway in a sliding direction, a closing wall that is able to close off the passage, and a locking system that is able to take up a locked state, in which the locking system ensures a mechanical connection between the closing wall and the support means, such that the closing wall is movable with the support means in the sliding direction, characterized in that, notably in the case of a malfunction, the locking system is able to pass into an unlocked state, in which the closing wall is disconnected from the support means, such that the closing wall is movable on its own in the sliding direction.

Abstract: The invention relates to a seat arrangement, in particular designed to be installed in an airplane cabin, comprising: at least one “front” seat and at least one “rear” seat, positioned one behind the other along a longitudinal axis of the airplane cabin and comprising respectively at least one seat that can pass from a “seating” position to a “bunk” position, a transverse passage arranged between the “front” seat and the “rear” seat to allow access to an aisle, characterized in that the seat arrangement comprises movable closure means that can at least partially close off the transverse passage when the closure means are deployed.

Abstract: Disclosed is a deployable panel assembly that includes a support plate (101), a front support arm (105) with a first end having at least two pivotable attachments (106, 107) to a first edge of the support plate (101) and a second end having at least two pivotable attachments (108, 109) to a seat shell, and a rear support arm (110) with a first end (111) pivotably attached to a second edge of the support plate (101) and a second end (112) pivotably attached to the seat shell, wherein the support plate is configured to move between a stowed position and a deployed position.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to passenger aircraft seats. The disclosure focuses on a seat unit arrangement (10) for a cabin and seat units that provide different comfort positions. In some embodiments, a side cushion (14) forms part of a bed surface when the seats are converted to a bed position. In some embodiments, a bed extension (30) is deployed from a stowed position to form a part of the bed surface. In some embodiments, a seat backrest (22) does not form part of the bed surface when the seat unit is in the bed position. In some embodiments, a lounge position is provided when the seat backrest rotates toward a side cushion. In such an embodiment, the passenger may be positioned toward the side cushion such that the passenger may comfortably rest their legs on the side cushion without converting the seat to a bed position.

Abstract: A process for repairing a metallic shroud of a gas turbine blade includes a step of removing a portion of an anti-wear layer to a removal depth that is greater than a depth of wear of the anti-wear layer. Further, the process includes a step of leaving a trace of the anti-wear layer to subsist, wherein the trace of the anti-wear layer extends at least in a re-entrant zone of the Z profile of the blade. The process also includes a step of depositing a new layer of anti-wear material on the trace of the anti-wear layer.

Abstract: The invention relates to a seat for a transport vehicle or craft, the seat including a support structure (1) and at least one armrest (2) comprising a rest element (4) mounted on one end of a strut whose other end is hinged to the support structure about a first pivot (7) to tilt between an in-use position in which the rest element is substantially horizontal and a forwardly-tilted retracted position in which the rest element is substantially vertical and in front of the seat. The strut is L-shaped with a first arm (5) hinged at its free end about the first pivot and extending substantially rearwards from the first pivot when the strut is in the in-use position, and a second arm (6) extending substantially upwards when the strut is in the in-use position, and the rest element is hinged to the free end of the second arm of the strut about a second transverse axis (9).

Abstract: The invention relates to a repair process of a metallic piece, in particular of a rotor or stator blade of a gas turbine motor comprising an anti-wear layer formed by loading by welding of an anti-wear material to a part of its surface and whereof said layer is partially machined, characterised in that it comprises a rectification stage of said layer in which a trace of said original anti-wear layer is left to subsist on at least part of the base of the rectified zone, and a stage in which a new layer of anti-wear material is deposited by welding. The invention in particular relates to turbine blades with a shroud and has the advantage of at the same time ensuring good adhesion of the new layer and preventing the appearance of defects in the metallic substrate.
