Patent number: 11945602Abstract: An assembly for an aircraft. The assembly comprises a frame, an instrument panel fixed to the frame, a support system with an arm bearing a tray in which the arm positions the tray behind the instrument panel, and in which the tray comprises a first attachment arrangement, and a support comprising a second attachment arrangement which cooperates with the first attachment arrangement to removably fix the support onto the tray. The support also comprises a fixing system which ensures the removable fixing of a touch tablet onto the support. With such an assembly, the touch tablet is held without the aid of the pilot and it is positioned in front of him or her for easy access.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2021Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: AIRBUS OPERATIONS SASInventors: Vincent Auriac, Patrick Salgues, Laurent Feuillerac

Patent number: 11753140Abstract: An aircraft fuselage portion extending in a general longitudinal direction and comprising a fuselage structure comprising annular frames and a flat floor. The fuselage portion also comprises struts perpendicular to the floor in a nominal position and extending from the floor to a frame. Each strut comprises, in the vicinity of at least one of the ends thereof, a detachable link so that the strut can be moved relative to the fuselage structure or separated from the fuselage structure to temporarily grant access to a triangle area located between the frames, the floor and the struts in the nominal position. This allows access to be granted to the area in which the ducts must be installed in the aircraft, in particular, in the form of sets of ducts assembled prior to their installation in the fuselage.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2020Date of Patent: September 12, 2023Assignee: AIRBUS OPERATIONS SASInventors: Jean-Luc Maurel, Vincent Borrel, Laurent Feuillerac, Patrick Salgues, Vincent Auriac

Patent number: 11541985Abstract: An aircraft duct assembly comprising at least two ducts extending along a general direction of rectilinear extent, each duct being an electrical, hydraulic or aeraulic duct connected to a duct support. The duct support comprises a first slideway element configured to cooperate with a second slideway element to form a slideway in the general direction of extent of the ducts. The duct assembly can thus be inserted, after mounting, by translation along the direction of the slideway into an aircraft fuselage portion. The mounting of the duct assembly and installation thereof in a fuselage are simplified, and the duct assembly is more reliable.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2020Date of Patent: January 3, 2023Assignee: AIRBUS OPERATIONS SASInventors: Laurent Feuillerac, Patrick Salgues, Vincent Auriac

Patent number: 10087664Abstract: An operating device for operating at least one door of an aircraft comprises a chassis that is fixed and secured to a fuselage of the aircraft, a control handle that is rotationally and translationally movable with respect to the chassis, a mechanism for converting a rotational movement of the control handle into an opening movement of the door. The translational movement allows the control handle to be in an in position in which it is aligned with the exterior surface of the fuselage and an out position in which it projects beyond the exterior surface of the fuselage. The control handle includes a cylindrical body and a head connected to one end of the body. The head of the control handle includes a fixed part rigidly connected to the body of the control handle and extending perpendicular thereto, and a movable part rotatably connected to the body and having a folded-down position against the fixed part and a deployed position in which the control handle has a T shape.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2016Date of Patent: October 2, 2018Assignee: AIRBUS OPERATIONS (S.A.S.)Inventor: Vincent Auriac

Patent number: 9511846Abstract: An airplane flight deck which includes an escape opening closed off by an emergency door and an emergency hatch. The emergency hatch comprises a sheeting and a locking/unlocking mechanism configured to take up a locked state in which the sheeting closes off the escape opening and an unlocked state in which the sheeting frees the escape opening.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2016Date of Patent: December 6, 2016Assignee: Airbus Operations (S.A.S.)Inventors: Vincent Auriac, Löic Challancin

Patent number: 8915469Abstract: The invention relates to an aircraft comprising: a drainage system for condensation water formed in the aircraft between an upper zone thereof where the condensation water is formed and a lower zone where it is collected, a thermal insulation blanket (16) having two opposite faces, a first face (16a) of which is arranged facing the fuselage. The drainage system includes a drainage duct (18, 24) which extends into the upper zone along the second opposite face (16b) of the insulation blanket and which is connected to a pass-through device (30; 40) for the blanket placed beneath the upper zone. In this way, the drained condensation water passes through the blanket through the pass-through device and then is drained to the lower zone, between the first face of the blanket and the fuselage.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2012Date of Patent: December 23, 2014Assignee: Airbus Operations S.A.S.Inventors: Vincent Auriac, Jérôme Modesto
