Hand luggage locker assembly for use in an aircraft cabin. The assembly includes a shell-like locker, a track mechanism for moveably connecting the locker to an aircraft structure between a closed position and an open position, and a lifting mechanism for relieving the muscle power required for a user to move the locker between the closed position and the open position. The lifting mechanism includes a moveable lifting body which, on one side, is connected to the track mechanism or to the locker and, on its other side, is connected to the aircraft structure, which lifting body is coupled to a pneumatic system. The pneumatic system includes means for supplying an underpressure compared to the pressure in the cabin, control means being provided for at least supplying the underpressure to the lifting body when the locker is to be moved upwards in a controlled manner with the aid of the underpressure as power source.

A comfort and illumination unit especially for a passenger space in an aircraft is constructed for cooperation with a straight wall panel that can be integrated in or secured to a vertical straight wall and/or a horizontal straight ceiling wall. The unit has a mounting base and a cover with passenger convenience elements mounted to the base under the cover which is provided with cut-outs for access to the convenience elements. Fluorescent bulbs form a frame around the convenience elements.

The invention provides a quick disconnect mounting system for cabinets and partitions which entails only the removal of one or two bolt fasteners on the bottom of the cabinet and a pair of retractable pin fasteners on the upper portions of the cabinet, with an optional retractable pin fastener in the center rear of the cabinet. Each of these acoustical mounts are insulated, thus preventing vibration in the structural portion of the fuselage from entering the passenger compartment.

An emergency lighting system for an aircraft has photoluminescent strips mounted on the floor rather than a string of electrical lights. This is a better fail-safe since there is no possibility of a failure in power supply. A channel extrusion is secured to the floor of the aircraft and a photoluminescent strip is held between the channel and a transparent cover member. The photoluminescent strip has two thin layers of photoluminescent material rather on a base layer, rather than being a calendered product. This increases the light output.

A storage compartment is combined with an air flow channel (5) between a passenger seat and an aircraft side wall in an aircraft cabin. The storage compartment is constructed of five walls forming a box (3) inserted into the air channel that extends longitudinally along the aircraft side wall and along the cabin floor. The box (3) is upwardly closed by a hinged cover (16) forming a tray (17). The aircraft side wall (2) has at least one air filter element (10) facing into the channel. One or more dado panels (7) with air flow passages (6) enclose the channel toward the cabin. A cabin floor (4) closes the channel (5) downwardly. One or more decompression flaps (15) in the floor (4) normally close the channel (5). Under normal operating conditions air flow into and out of the cabin passes around the box through the channel (5) and the filter element (10). Should a decompression occur the flap (15) is opened and pressure equalization is achieved by air flow through the openings in the cabin floor thereby bypassing the air filter element (10) for rapid pressure equalization in different spaces of the aircraft.

An advertising placard (20) having a substrate (30) and coloration material (34) is utilized to provide an unobtrusive and nondistracting advertisement on internal viewing surfaces (22) in commercial aircraft passenger cabins (24). The substrate (30) is preferably thin and transparent, and the coloration material (34) preferably has substantially the same color hue as the viewing surface (22) to which it is applied. Further, the coloration material (34) preferably has a color lightness within approximately &Dgr;7 of the color lightness of the viewing surface (22).

Transport aircraft, such as a transonic transport aircraft, having fuselages with multipurpose lower decks. In one embodiment, the fuselage is an “area-ruled” fuselage having a first fuselage portion, a second fuselage portion positioned aft of the first fuselage portion and at least proximate to a wing, and a third fuselage portion positioned aft of the second fuselage portion. The first fuselage portion can have a first dimension, the second fuselage portion can have a second dimension less than the first dimension, and the third fuselage portion can have a third dimension greater than the second dimension. The fuselage can further include an upper deck extending at least within the first and second fuselage portions, and a lower deck extending within the first fuselage portion. The upper deck can include a first passenger portion and the lower deck can include a second passenger portion, a cargo portion, or a second passenger portion and a cargo portion.
摘要:
An expandable/collapsible enclosure positioned about the existing door of a flight crew compartment of an airliner, which is expanded either manually or automatically by the motion of the aircraft to form an airlock type enclosure about the door to the flight crew compartment, the enclosure having its own outer secondary door controllable from the flight crew compartment, an individual seeking access to the flight crew compartment having to position themselves in front of the outer door and again within the enclosure for observation by the flight crew personnel before entering the flight crew compartment, the enclosure having chemical or gaseous means for immobilizing an individual not authorized to enter the enclosure or the flight crew compartment who may have overwhelmed a properly identified individual that was authorized to enter the enclosure.
摘要:
A two layer door is provided. The first layer is made of a plurality of metallic members with a portion of the metallic members having one or more channels adapted to receive one or more armor panels. The second layer is made of the channels of the metallic members and armor panels disposed within the channels. The door also has one or more pivotally attached panels to the door that are adapted to open at a preselected pressure differential across the door. The door is also available as a kit.

An aircraft security system comprises a transparent bullet-proof security chamber interposed between the pilot area and the passenger area, and providing the only means of passage to the pilot area. The security chamber has a cockpit door to the cockpit area and passenger door to the passenger area. The passenger door must be closed when the cockpit door is open and vice versa. A third, or entry door, may be used to facilitate boarding the aircraft. All doors are closed and locked when sensors indicate unauthorized entry of a passenger into the security chamber.
