Patent number: 10017252Abstract: A modular monument comprises a first transport module with a tongue and a second transport module with a groove. The transport modules are arranged one on top of the other and aligned flush with each other on a lateral surface of the monument with the monument in an assembled state. The tongue and grooves engage into each other in the assembled state of the monument in such a way that the transport modules can be shifted relative to each other in a longitudinal direction. The first transport module exhibits a locking element to prevent a relative motion of the two transport modules in the longitudinal direction in the assembled state. The embodiment further relates to an aircraft with a modular monument, as well as to a method for transporting an item in a vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2015Date of Patent: July 10, 2018Assignee: AIRBUS OPERATIONS GMBHInventors: Magdalena Jobst, Stephan Sontag

Patent number: 9868531Abstract: A passenger seat arrangement comprises at least one first seat arranged at a first lower level, and at least one second seat arranged at a second elevated level. Each of the first and the second seats comprises a supporting surface for supporting a passenger which is movable between an upright seating position and a reclined lying position. At least one of the first and the second seats is constructed in such a manner that a movement of its supporting surface from the upright seating position into the reclined lying position results in an increase of a distance between the supporting surface of the first seat and the supporting surface of the second seat.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2015Date of Patent: January 16, 2018Assignee: Airbus Operations GmbHInventors: Benedikt Kircher, Paul Edwards, Stephan Sontag
