  • Publication number: 20160312920
    Abstract: This relates to a tool and a method for using a tool to release, unlock and open a guide clamp for cable harnesses, wherein the guide clamp is secured by a safety tab and locked with hooks. The tool encompasses a first leg and a second leg, wherein the legs are angled relative to each other and joined with each other. The insides of the legs facing each other are shaped in such a way that they can be made to abut the guide clamp. The first leg exhibits a pin, which when the insides of both legs abut against the guide clamp extends into an opening of the guide clamp in such a way as to move the safety tab of the guide clamp into a releasing position.

  • Patent number: 9132905
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a door for a transport means, which structurally provides the largest possible door width. Using a movable carrier arm device, the width of the door aperture can be reduced with little complexity from about 42 inches (Type “A”) as an additional equipment option to about 34 inches (Type “C”). To this end, the movable, for example, foldable, carrier arm device is provided which, when the door opens, automatically moves from a retracted position to an extended position in order to reduce the door aperture width to a value which has been predetermined for evacuation. Afterwards, the extended carrier arm device can be folded in again. In this manner, it may be possible to increase the comfort for the passengers and the crew when the aircraft is in the normal operating state since the carrier arm device provides a greater aperture width in the retracted position.
