Abstract: Disclosed is a stowable airflow diverter for removable attachment to a floor vent of a turbine aircraft. The air diverter comprises vertical ducting extending from a base. A flexible gasket and magnets are attached to the base for engagement with the floor vent. A nozzle attached to the vertical ducting redirects the airflow emanating from the floor vent from horizontal to vertical in order to direct air conditioned air into the cock pit of the aircraft. In an alternate embodiment, the nozzle is rotatable with respect to the vertical axis of the duct. In another alternate embodiment, the nozzle and vertical duct comprise telescoping segments such that the device can be collapsed into the floor vent.

Abstract: An aircraft including a fuselage having a side wall at least partially defining a passenger cabin and a crown section of the aircraft. The passenger cabin includes an overhead zone, a passenger zone, and a floor zone. An air supply duct is positioned within the crown section, and the air supply duct is configured to pressurize the crown section with air. At least one return air outlet is defined in the floor zone. An interior structure is coupled to the side wall and extends between the passenger cabin and the crown section. The interior structure includes a plurality of nozzles oriented to discharge the pressurized air from the crown section along an airflow path that extends downward through the overhead zone, downward through the passenger zone, and then towards the at least one return air outlet.

Abstract: A protection device for an electrical cabinet is divided into a plurality of compartments, the protection device including a rain guard and an air manifold formed as an integral unit. The rain guard is designed to cover a section of an electrical cabinet and thus prevent water from falling on it. The air manifold includes at least one first pipe fluidically connected to a second pipe. Each first pipe intended to be connected to a corresponding air-circulation opening of a compartment, and the second pipe being intended to be connected to an air-circulation means in order thus to allow air to be circulated in the plurality of compartments. A cabinet is provided with such a protection device.
