  • Patent number: 7014557
    Abstract: The air outlet device (10) for the interior of a vehicle, particularly for being arranged above a seat of a vehicle such as, e.g., an airplane, a bus or the like, is provided with an air outlet element (38) comprising at least one air inlet opening (44) and an air outlet opening (45). Further, the air outlet device (10) comprises a slide element (46) for blocking and unblocking the at least one air inlet opening (44) and an actuating element (30) for moving the slide element (46), which is arranged at the air outlet opening (45) and comprises a collar. The actuating element (30) is supported so as to be pivotable about a longitudinal axis (50) of the collar. When the actuating element (30) is rotated, the slide element (46) is movable along a curved path for blocking and unblocking.

  • Patent number: 6874730
    Abstract: A covering element for the interior the interior of a vehicle, particularly an aircraft, is provided with at least a first and a second covering portion each of which comprises a covering wall with a front side pointing to the interior of the vehicle in the installed state and a rear side Each covering portion also includes a width extension and a longitudinal extension directed transverse thereto to one another. The covering walls of the two covering portions overlap each other, and the second covering portion is supported so as to be displaced substantially in the direction of its longitudinal extension and/or to be pivoted about a pivot axis extending substantially perpendicular to its longitudinal and width extension-on the first covering portion.
