摘要:
The present invention relates to a lift apparatus for transporting objects (6) between a first compartment (12) of an aircraft (10) and a second compartment (13) of the aircraft (10) through an aperture (8) in a floor structure (1) separating the first compartment (12) and the second compartment (13) from each other, and to an aircraft (10) in which such lift apparatus (11) is mounted. The lift apparatus (11) comprises a conveying means (14) comprising a retaining portion (5) adapted to selectively retain and release objects (6) to be transported, a guide means (18a, 18b) to which the conveying means (14) is mounted to be linearly movable in a guided manner along a predetermined path of motion defined by the guide means (18a, 18b), and a moving means adapted for driving the conveying means (14) to linearly move along the predetermined path of motion. The conveying means (14) further comprises a closing portion (2). The retaining portion (5) and the closing portion (2) are disposed one after the other along the predetermined path of motion, and the lift apparatus (11) is adapted to be mounted in an aircraft (10) of the above type in such a manner that the predetermined path of motion extends through the aperture (8), and that the conveying means (14) is selectively movable along the predetermined path of motion between a first position, in which the closing portion (2) is spaced from the floor structure (1) and the aperture (8) and at least part of the retaining portion (5) is disposed between the floor structure (1) and the closing portion (2), and a second position, in which the closing portion (2) closes the aperture (8).

A service box (10) for storing in a storage rack arrangement (2; 3) of a cargo container of a vehicle, in particular an aircraft, comprises a rectangular bottom wall (11), a rectangular upper wall (12), side walls (13) and narrow end walls (15, 16) and forms an interior space adapted to receive a trolley (50) for catering goods. The service box (10) is provided with a door (16) at at least one of its narrow ends which door (16) forms at least the main part of the narrow wall (16) and in the open state permits insertion and removal of the trolley (50) and in the closed state provides for an essentially closed space for the trolley.
摘要:
A cargo unit (1) for storage in a cargo hold of an aircraft comprising a housing (3) and a storage rack arrangement (21, 41), wherein the housing (3) encloses the storage rack arrangement (21, 41) and comprises a transport opening (11, 13). The cargo unit (1) is connectable to a transport arrangement (27) which can be operated for selectively removing objects from the storage rack arrangement (21, 41) and placing objects in the storage rack arrangement through the transport opening when the cargo unit is arranged in an operating position with respect to the transport arrangement. The cargo unit (1) further comprises a transport cover (17, 19) movable between a closed position in which the transport cover (17, 19) closes the transport opening (11, 13) and an opened position in which the transport opening is not covered by the transport cover. The transport cover (17, 19) is adapted to be only movable from its closed position to its opened position after engagement with the transport arrangement (27). Further a lower deck catering system comprising a cargo unit and a transport arrangement (27) are included.
