  • Patent number: 8950402
    Abstract: The present invention is concerned with a system for the oxygen supply of persons in an aircraft. In order to provide the simplest possible system, which is suitable in particular for a reconfiguration of the seat devices (12), the system has at least one oxygen line, one oxygen feed, and multiple attachment points for oxygen masks (24), the oxygen line extending in the longitudinal direction and the attachment points being connected to the oxygen line. The attachment points are preferably situated linearly and are spaced apart from one another in the longitudinal direction.

  • Patent number: 8517018
    Abstract: An oxygen supply system for an aircraft includes a control valve, a reservoir bag, a respiration device and a sensor device, wherein the control valve is designed in such a way that oxygen can be supplied to the reservoir bag until a predetermined quantity of oxygen is adjusted in the reservoir bag. The respiration device may be designed in such a way that breathing gas can be provided for a passenger. The sensor device may be designed in such a way that an exhalation is detectable. The reservoir bag may be designed in such a way that a predetermined quantity of oxygen can be metered into the reservoir bag during the exhalation. The reservoir bag may be designed in such a way that breathing gas can be supplied to the respiration device in a pulse-like fashion. The oxygen supply system may include a first and a second operation mode.
