  • Publication number: 20230234775
    Abstract: A freight carrier configured to be received in an aircraft cargo hold, a system of one or more such freight carriers and a receiving platform, and a platform, are each provided. The freight carrier includes a floor element having a resting surface configured to lie on a floor surface of a cargo hold of an aircraft. The freight carrier is configured such that its resting surface can be moved over a floor surface in a floor plane. The floor element has a base element having a base surface. The base surface is situated on the base element such that the base surface faces away from the resting surface. The resting surface is provided with an arrangement to allow the freight carrier to be slid over the floor surface. The floor element has a cavity which extends toward the base surface between the front portion and the rear portion.

  • Publication number: 20220332418
    Abstract: A load carrier for an aircraft cargo hold includes a bottom element with a support surface, the load carrier being movable over a floor surface in a floor plane while the support surface faces the floor surface, the bottom element having a base surface. The support surface has rolling elements rotatable about a rotation axis oriented where a parallel to the axis runs parallel to the floor plane, and the rolling elements being retained on the bottom element where the rotation axis of each of the rolling elements can be rotated about a vertical axis running perpendicularly to the floor plane. A load carrier can include a bottom element, the support surface of which has outlet openings, through which air can exit from the support surface to form an air cushion under the support surface. A load carrier can include a bottom element the support surface of which has slider elements.

  • Patent number: 11273914
    Abstract: A cargo loading platform for an aircraft, with a plate-like supporting structure, which is configured to support or to receive cargo, and a lifting device. The lifting device is arranged asymmetrically on the plate-like supporting structure and can be moved from a stowage position to a lifting position. In the stowage position, the lifting device is arranged here above a lower side of the plate-like supporting structure and, in the lifting position, is at least partially arranged below the lower side of the plate-like supporting structure. This permits asymmetrical raising of the plate-like supporting structure by the lifting device, as a result of which steps during the transportation of the cargo loading platform can be easily and rapidly overcome. Furthermore, a cargo loading apparatus and a cargo container each with such a cargo loading platform, and also an aircraft with such a cargo loading apparatus are described.

  • Publication number: 20160376145
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a micromechanical component and a micromechanical component. The micromechanical component includes a sensor substrate and a cap situated thereon. For creating the cap, a plurality of openings is introduced into a cap substrate in a delimited area on the surface of the front side in the form of microperforations. The openings end in the cap substrate, i.e. they do not go all the way through the cap substrate and are therefore shallow. The cap substrate is then placed on the sensor substrate, whereby the front side of the cap substrate including the plurality of openings is directed toward the sensor substrate. A portion of the cap substrate is removed from its back side by back-thinning using a grinding process or another semiconductor process. The removal of the cap substrate material from the back side creates access to the openings.
