Patent number: 7516919Abstract: An architectural archway for an aircraft. The archways can be positioned individually, or in pairs or other sets along the length of an aircraft fuselage. The archways are used to run or connect various transport elements, such as electrical wiring, water lines, and environmental control system conduits, between the upper crown, lower bay and passenger cabin of the aircraft. The invention simplifies installation complexity and eliminates the installation and variability associated with running transport elements between the various sections of the aircraft.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2007Date of Patent: April 14, 2009Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: David A. Young, Richard Fraker, R. Klaus Brauer, Peter S. Guard

Patent number: 7494255Abstract: Interior lighting and illumination systems for aircraft, particularly commercial passenger airplanes. Opposing pairs of LED lamps are positioned in the ceiling panels above the aisles between sets of seats in the passenger cabins. One set of LED lights are directed to illuminate the ceiling panels and may be in a particular color. The other set of LED lights are positioned to shine their lights on storage/stowage bins positioned across the aisles, thus creating a cross-bin lighting system. This enhances the cabin architecture and provides cabin illumination. A reflector can be positioned to direct the light and reduce possible glare to the passengers. The reflector directs the light rays from the LED lights which emanate from the top of the reflector to shine on the lowest part of the bins. The light rays leaving the reflector cross in front of the reflector.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2006Date of Patent: February 24, 2009Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Eric A. Bryan, Randolph C. Camp, III, Richard Fraker, Kevin W. Shimasaki, Miles A. Webb

Patent number: 7156345Abstract: A modular overhead stowage bin system has an outboard bin support and a center bin support coupleable to the fuselage. First and second stowage bin modules having different storage capacities are connectable to the outboard and center bin supports in first and second configurations. In a first configuration, the first and second stowage bin modules are coupled to the fuselage and have a first overhead aisle therebetween with first opposing edge portions. The first and second stowage bin modules in the second configuration are coupled to the fuselage and have a second overhead aisle therebetween. The second overhead aisle has second opposing edge portions each shifted laterally relative to the position of the first opposing edge portions of the first overhead aisle when the first and second stowage bin modules are in the first configuration.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 2005Date of Patent: January 2, 2007Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: R.
