  • Publication number: 20150029737
    Abstract: An aircraft with a daylight input system may provide improved illumination with a reduced energy demand. The aircraft has a fuselage construction and at least one interior area arranged within the fuselage construction and includes the daylight input system. The daylight input system includes at least one light receiving device arranged in an outer wall, at least one light guiding device and at least one light emitting device arranged on the inner side. In this case, the light receiving device serves for receiving daylight present in the surrounding outside the outer wall and transmitting the same into the light guiding device. The light guiding device optically couples the light receiving device to the light emitting device. This light emitting device in turn emits the received daylight into an interior space on the inner side of a wall construction, wherein at least a partial deflection of the daylight is provided.

  • Patent number: 7980511
    Abstract: A device for the transport and medical care of patients as well as for the provision of emergency medical care in an aircraft, which can be arranged and permanently installed inside the passenger cabin of an aircraft, and has a stretcher and medical care equipment, and screens the patient from the environment at least partially by means of lateral elements. The device is enveloped on all sides by lateral elements, and forms a separated compartment relative to the passenger cabin, the volume of which can be temporarily enlarged by shifting at least one lateral section between the first, emergency medical care mode, and a second, expanded mode for patient transport, wherein the stretcher can be horizontally arranged within the compartment in the first mode, and space is available for a medical assistant inside the compartment.

  • Patent number: 7681951
    Abstract: A passenger compartment with first through fourth placement spaces that include first through fourth accommodation units, where the accommodation units are of a modular design. The first and second accommodation units are a first seat and a second seat which can both be changed between a sitting position and an essentially horizontal resting position. The first and second placement spaces are arranged in one placement plane facing each other. The third placement space is arranged beside the first placement space and the fourth placement space is arranged beside the second placement space. The arrangement includes a delimiting element arranged laterally beside the first and second placement spaces and extending to be perpendicular in relation to the placement plane. First and second couchette elements are affixable to the delimiting element such that passengers can be accommodated who are in positions lying down above the first and second placement spaces.

  • Patent number: 7588211
    Abstract: A baggage compartment includes a housing that has a baggage accommodation space, a hinged cover, a latching mechanism, an operating element and a covering element. By moving the hinged cover, the baggage accommodation space may be selectively made accessible or inaccessible. The latching mechanism may be partly placed on the hinged cover in such a way that the hinged cover and the housing may be selectively latched or unlatched by utilizing the operating element. The covering element is placed on the hinged cover such that it covers the latching mechanism but leaves the operating element accessible to the user for operation.

  • Patent number: 7478781
    Abstract: A joint cover in an aircraft has a clamp section and a cover section for covering a joint. The clamp section is used to mount the cover section over the joint. The joint cover conceals the joint and secures the joint from intrusion of foreign objects. One example presents information to passengers, incorporating visual displays or other devices within the cover section. For example, the joint cover may include a cover section and a clamp section of an elastic material that deforms under pressure, concealing the joint even during compression and decompression of the aircraft, which causes movement of the panels defining the joint.
