    摘要: A storage compartment arrangement for a vehicle cabin having a storage compartment, housing, closable storage compartment opening, lower compartment section in the housing, and upper compartment section in the housing. The storage compartment opening extends over the structural heights of both compartment sections. Items of luggage can be placed onto a lower horizontal pivoting edge and pushed into the lower compartment section. An upper horizontal pivoting edge is provided onto which items of luggage can be placed and can be pushed into the upper compartment section. The storage compartment opening has an upper opening edge facing an upper side of the upper compartment section and is adjoined by an auxiliary surface extending over the upper compartment section, is at an angle in a range of 10° to 50° to the separating plane, and, as the distance from the upper delimitation increases, encloses an increasing distance from the separating plane.

    摘要: A passenger seat system for a transportation system includes at least one support structure and at least one seat, which includes a seat frame, which is movable and arrestable on the support structure and has an underside that rests on the support structure and an upper side that receives a seating surface. The seat frame has an arresting device on the underside and an operating unit on the upper side coupled with the arresting device. This is movable into an arresting position and a release position and is blockable at least in the arresting position through a lockable blocking device. The arresting device is adapted for arresting the seat frame on the support structure with the operating unit being in the arresting position and to release it with the operating unit being in the release position.

    摘要: A rail system for a vehicle includes a floor rail integratable into or onto the floor, first elongate movement rail elements, second elongate movement rail elements, holding devices to hold the movement rail elements on the floor rail, and gliders supportable on the movement rail elements in a gliding manner. The movement rail elements have a rail profile cross-section perpendicular to their main extension axis; the cross-section has an undercut that faces laterally outwards. The movement rail elements each have two opposed end faces, which can be brought into contact with end faces of other movement rail elements, such that at least one continuous movement rail with a constant rail profile cross-section is created. The gliders include a recess corresponding to the rail profile cross-section for gliding support.

    摘要: A linear guide mechanism for a passenger seat includes a movable carriage and a guide rail. The linear guide mechanism further includes a guide unit for positioning the movable carriage on the guide rail. The guide unit includes at least one guide element and a fastening element. Moreover, the guide unit is substantially fixed to the movable carriage by the fastening element. The guide unit and the movable carriage are displaceably mounted on the guide rail.

    摘要: A passenger seat system for a means of transport has a carrier structure which can be attached, fixedly with respect to a structure, and a seat having a seat frame being displaceable and arrestable on the carrier structure, a bottom side lying on the carrier structure, and a top side holding a seat surface. The seat frame has an arresting device on the bottom side and has an operating unit coupled to the arresting device. The operating unit is movable into an arresting position and an unlocking position. The arresting device has an arresting body movable perpendicularly with respect to the carrier structure and which can be moved into an engagement position and a release position. An arresting mechanism mechanically directly couples the arresting device to the operating unit such that the position of the arresting body is determined exclusively by the position of the operating unit.

    摘要: A fastening system for passenger seats in a vehicle cabin has two or more guide rails to be integrated into or onto a cabin floor, and a plurality of slides, to be brought into engagement with the guide rails and having a flange for connection to a passenger seat in order to retain the passenger seat on a guide rail. Each guide rail has a profile cross section, perpendicularly to a main axis of extent, having a base region and a supporting region. Each slide has a cavity of complementary design with the profile cross section. The guide rails have a plurality of transverse openings spaced apart from one another between the base region and the supporting region. At least one slide has a displaceably mounted retaining body which, when the slide is in engagement with the guide rail, can be brought into engagement with one of the transverse openings.

    摘要: A cargo hold for a vehicle, comprising a first wall and a second wall lying opposite the first wall, a pivotable floor element arranged between the two walls, and a spring device coupled to the floor element. The second wall is closer to the first wall in a longitudinal direction of the cargo hold perpendicularly with respect to the first wall in a first state of the cargo hold than in a second state. The floor element is in a first position in the first state and in a second position in the second state. An angle enclosed by the floor element with a plane parallel to the first wall is smaller in the first position than in the second position. The spring device is coupled to the floor element such that it is prestressed when the cargo hold is expanded from its first state into its second state.
