  • Publication number: 20060032155
    Abstract: The device for holding a partition wall on a wall in the interior of a vehicle, particularly on a ceiling paneling of an airplane cabin, comprises a holding element (24; 24?; 24?) to be attached to the vehicle and having at least one recess (34; 34?), and a slider (36; 36?) arranged on the holding element (24; 24?; 24?) and formed with a receiving opening (38; 38?) for receiving an receivable element (26; 26?) of the partition wall (18; 18?). The slider (36; 36?) is supported on the holding element (24; 24?; 24?) for movement on a moving path between a cover position in which the slider (36; 36?) closes the recess (34; 34?) of the holding element (24; 24?; 24?), and an open position in which the receiving opening (38; 38?) is arranged within the recess (34; 34?) of the holding element (24; 24?; 24?).

  • Patent number: 6997583
    Abstract: A lamp for a vehicle includes a housing, an illuminant that is arranged in the housing, und a plug element for electrically contacting the illuminant. The lamp further includes a pull-off-assisting element for pulling the plug element off the housing in a pull-off direction. The pull-off-assisting element has a first end arranged at the plug element such that it is pivotable about a pivoting axis, which extends transversely to the pull-off direction, and a second end for being manually gripped and for facilitating pulling of the pull-off-assisting element. This pull-off-assisting element is pivotable between a parking position in which is rests against the housing, and a pull-off position in which it extends from the housing for pulling off the plug element.

  • Patent number: 6978566
    Abstract: The sign adapted to be backlit is provided with a cover element (14) having a front side (18) with at least one symbol field (26,28) adapted to be backlit and a rear side (22) facing away from the front side (18). The front side (18) is formed by a transparent plastic sheet (16) provided with a translucent color (20). The rear side (22) is formed by injecting plastic injection molding material from behind against the plastic sheet (16). This plastic injection molding material opaquely covers the plastic sheet (16) while sparing the at least one symbol field (26,28).

  • Patent number: 6955592
    Abstract: An air outlet device (1) for vehicles, in particular airplanes, comprises a panel (2) with at least one receiving opening, an air outlet (3) arranged in the receiving opening, and a sealing means (6) sealing the air outlet (3) and the panel (2) against each other. At the panel (2) and/or the air outlet (3), a securing means (8) is configured, it serves to mount the air outlet (3) to the panel (2). During the assembly of the air outlet device (1), the securing means (8) holds the air outlet (3) in a defined position in the panel (2) so that curing adhesives can be used as sealing means (6) without any problem.

  • Publication number: 20050185399
    Abstract: A colored light for the passengers of a passenger transportation means, in particular for the cabin of an aircraft, comprises a plurality of illuminating means, each emitting electromagnetic waves in a narrow-band wavelength range, wherein the wavelength ranges preferably do not overlap each other. Further, the colored light is provided with a drive unit for driving the illuminating means such that a soothing or stimulating effect on the passengers can be achieved via the color sensation of the human eye and the thus triggered (bio-) chemical processes in the body.

  • Patent number: 6848653
    Abstract: The operating and/or display unit for installation above the seats in vehicles, in particular in aircraft, is provided with a ceiling-mounted element (24) having a front and a rear side (26,28), operating elements (18,22) and/or optical display elements arranged on the ceiling-mounted element (24), at least one electric and/or electronic component arranged on the rear side (28) of the ceiling-mounted element (24), and a covering hood (32) adapted to be attached to the rear side (28) of the ceiling-mounted element (24) and to cover the component. The covering hood (32) comprises projecting hook elements (40,42) for clampingly holding an electric cable (34), and a cable passage (36). The hook elements (40,42) are arranged side by side, and a plurality of hook elements (40,42) face in opposite directions relative to each other. Two adjacent hook elements (40,42) facing in opposite directions are offset to obtain an undulating cable routing.

  • Patent number: 6836411
    Abstract: An operating device for a vehicle, such as an airplane or a bus, includes a board that is adapted to carry electronic circuits, and at least two catch hooks for receiving the board between them. Each of the catch hooks has a contact portion for retaining the board and a base part for supporting the contact portion. The base parts of the catch hooks face each other, and the contact portions face away from each other. When the board is loaded, the catch hooks are pressed towards the respectively other catch hook which results in that the catch hooks lean more and more firmly against the board when force is induced onto the board.
