Abstract: A panel attachment system may couple a translating wall to a rail system. The panel attachment system may be configured to facilitate longitudinal adjustment and vertical adjustment of the translating wall with respect to the rail system. The panel attachment system may comprise a pair of first blocks coupled by a bridge. Each first block may be coupled to a second block. The second block may have rollers for longitudinal translation of the panel attachment system with respect to the rail system. Each first block may be coupled to a third block. The third block may have a hanging bracket for receiving the translating wall. The third block may be adjustable with respect to the first block for vertical adjustment of the panel attachment system with respect to the rail system.

Abstract: Translation of a center wall converts an aircraft lavatory between a dual lavatory configuration and a single lavatory configuration. A latch system for the center wall may have a handle configured to operate a plurality of latches simultaneously. The handle may be disposed on a front edge of the center wall. The latch system may comprise an internal plate and a longitudinal member translatable with respect to the internal plate. A first vertical rod and a second vertical rod may extend from the internal plate to a ceiling latch and a floor latch, respectively. A horizontal rod may extend from the internal plate to a rear latch. Operation of the handle may translate the longitudinal member, which may, in turn, translate each of the first vertical rod, the second vertical rod, and the horizontal rod to operate the ceiling latch, the floor latch, and the rear latch, respectively.

Abstract: An aircraft lavatory may comprise assist handles disposed approximately waist-height for a standing passenger and may comprise transfer handles disposed approximately waist-height for seated passengers. The transfer handles may be disposed below the assist handles for use by passengers transferring in and out of a wheelchair or other mobility device. The assist handles may extend between a sink and a rear wall of the aircraft lavatory and may wrap around to a rear wall of the aircraft lavatory. The transfer handles may comprise transfer handles protruding from the first wall, or a trash receptacle disposed on the first wall. The transfer handles may comprise transfer handles protruding from a center wall of the lavatory. The center wall may be disposed between a first single lavatory and a second single lavatory such that the aircraft lavatory may be convertible between a single lavatory configuration and a dual lavatory configuration.

Abstract: An adaptable lavatory for persons of reduces mobility, such as wheelchair occupants, may comprise an aircraft lavatory wall system with a center wall which is configured to translate along a drop ceiling rail system. A linear rail system may be installed within the drop ceiling and have rollers coupled to hanging brackets to secure the center wall. The center wall may be secured in a center of two individual lavatory stalls to provide for a dual lavatory configuration. The center wall may be translated forward or aft along the drop ceiling rail system and secured on either side of the lavatory to provide for an expanded lavatory space in either a right-handed or left-handed configuration.
