    摘要: Provided are a cable protection member that is advantageous in improving efficiency of cable protection work and an aircraft lavatory unit equipped with a cable protection member that is advantageous in improving efficiency of protection work of a cable to be used in the aircraft lavatory unit and in protecting the cable. A cable protection member (56) includes a cable insertion hole (58) through which a cable (38) is inserted and a pair of protection member sections (56A, 56B) divided in a diameter direction of the cable insertion hole (58). The pair of protection member sections (56A, 56B) include diameter-direction coupling portions (63) to be immovably coupled to each other in the diameter direction of the cable insertion hole (58) with the pair of protection member sections (56A, 56B) coupled to each other. Coupling the pair of protection member sections (56A, 56B) with the cable (38) sandwiched therebetween with the diameter-direction coupling portions (63) allows the cable (38) to be easily and reliably covered and protected by the cable protection member (56) and is advantageous in improving efficiency of protection work of the cable (38).

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method for operating an on-board water supply and distribution system (1) of an aircraft (3) for supplying water, the system comprising a central water tank (9), a central pump (21), having an upstream side (23) and a downstream side (25) and being capable of conveying and pressurizing water from the upstream side (23) to the downstream side (25), a plurality of consumer assemblies (5), each consumer assembly (5) comprising a supply device (7) and a buffer tank (41), wherein the buffer tank (41) of each of the consumer assemblies (5) comprises a pressurizing device (61) configured for applying a consumer pressure to the water kept in the buffer tank (41), and each consumer assembly (5) being configured to supply water from the buffer tank (41) via the supply device (7), and a high-pressure conduit system (27), wherein the central water tank (9) is connected to the upstream side (23), wherein the high-pressure conduit system (27) connects the downstream side (25) with the plurality of consumer assemblies (5), with the high-pressure conduit system (27) being configured such that the central pump (21), when operating is capable of delivering water from the downstream side to the buffer tank (41) of each of the consumer assemblies (5), the method comprising the following steps: operating the central pump (21) such that water in the high-pressure conduit system (27) is pressurized to a predetermined first pressure; monitoring the pressure in the high-pressure conduit system (27) for a predetermined first period of time; and providing a first failure signal when the pressure in the high-pressure conduit system (27) drops below a predetermined second pressure within the first period of time.

    摘要: An aircraft lavatory monument is provided that includes a first lavatory (210) including a first door (302) providing access to the first lavatory from an aisle of an aircraft; a second lavatory (215) proximate the first lavatory, the second lavatory including a second door (304) providing access to the second lavatory from the aisle of the aircraft; and a movable wall (230) disposed between the first lavatory and the second lavatory, the movable wall including a latching mechanism (402, 404) positioned on an exterior edge of the movable wall and accessible from the aisle of the aircraft, where the latching mechanism, responsive to being in a locked position, causes the movable wall to be positioned at a first position separating the first lavatory from the second lavatory and providing privacy therebetween, and where the latching mechanism, responsive to being in an unlocked position, allows the movable wall to collapse thereby forming an enlarged bathroom space.
