  • Patent number: 7198459
    Abstract: A casing assembly for a turbocharger of an internal combustion engine includes a rotor casing having an intake duct and an exhaust flow passage which is connected to an exhaust flange and constructed for attachment to the rotor casing such as to allow a relative movement between the exhaust flow passage and the rotor casing. In this way, a sliding fit is provided which prevents thermal stress in the system rotor casing and exhaust flow passage. An outer housing surrounds the exhaust flow passage, rotor casing and intake duct.

  • Publication number: 20070023572
    Abstract: The fuselage according to an exemplary embodiment is conceived in such a way as to prevent the spread of flames produced by a source of fire and acting on the fuselage from outside the aircraft environment. The fuselage concept takes into account materials or material combinations that will scarcely allow protection of the cabin area of an aircraft (upon emergency landing) to be violated by flames spreading from outside the aircraft environment, which may facilitate an evacuation of passengers from the aircraft. An aircraft fuselage, whose fuselage structure, in addition to other structural elements that are components of the mechanical strength bracing of the fuselage and help absorb its forces, encompasses an exterior skin consisting of various respective materials, which are designed to be resistant to shear, and incorporated as a bearing element into the mechanical strength bracing to absorb and transfer the forces and torques acting thereupon.

  • Publication number: 20070018042
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an insulation structure for the internal insulation of a vehicle. The insulation structure is improved in such a way that using it a fire incursion of the flames of a source of fire acting from outside the vehicle environment into the vehicle interior is excluded as much as possible, an increase of the fire protection safety for separate interior regions lying proximal to a structure external skin being implemented by the type of the film insulation of the insulation package. The insulation structure comprises an insulation package (3), in which an insulation core (1) is embedded, and a film (11). The insulation package (3) is positioned inside an intermediate space which encloses internal paneling and an external skin. It is completely enclosed by the film (11). The film (11) is implemented using a burn-through safe film material, which is an obstruction to a flaming fire, to which a film surface region of this film is subjected during an occurring fire catastrophe.

  • Publication number: 20070003733
    Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement for lining the interior of a passenger vehicle such as an airplane including a honeycomb formation of several honeycombs arranged side by side. At its end, the honeycomb body is supported by a cover layer supported above and below the honeycomb formation such that by means of two cover layers glued onto the honeycomb formation, a layer design of the honeycomb panelling is created, which layer design is arranged so as to extend parallel to the outer skin of the aircraft and follow the curvature of the outer skin. The honeycomb formation used is made of paper- or aramide honeycombs or of a mixed combination of both honeycomb types; on whose cross section of the honeycomb body a CFK cover layer is positioned to both ends of the honeycomb bodies. As an alternative, further CFK insulation layers are glued onto the outer surface of the respective cover layer supported above and below the honeycomb formation, which cover layers comprise a CFK or GFK.

  • Publication number: 20060284014
    Abstract: The design and attachment of an insulation package according to an exemplary embodiment, which may be installed near the fuselage structure, is believed protect the cabin region of an aircraft against fire whose flames act on the insulation package from outside the aircraft environment, thus clearly facilitating evacuation of the passengers from the vehicle. The insulation package arrangement may comprise several fuselage insulation packages of an elongated form. These packages may adjoin the aircraft fuselage structure in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the aircraft. They may longitudinally adjoin a support surface of the stringers which are attached to the aircraft fuselage, or longitudinally adjoin an inner area of a panel of outer skin and are attached to both longitudinal sides of the ribs. Furthermore, those insulation packages may be completely enclosed by a burn-through-proof foil which is arranged in a space enclosed by interior paneling and by the panels of the outer skin.
