International Classification:

B64D 4700

US Classification:

2441181, 2482285, 24822914

Abstract:

A storage compartment used for storing modules in a cargo bay, whereby the compartment attaches to the support structure of an aircraft cargo bay. The storage compartment comprises a housing defining an interior space, an air flow opening and an access opening. First and second mounting member are secured to the entire width or length one of the walls and spaced apart and parallel from one another. Brackets attach the mounting member to the equipment bay support structure. Further, a panel serves as an access opening to the storage compartment. Inside the equipment bay, an interior shelf, supports the modules stored in compartment and facilitates cooling beneath the modules. Fans mounted on the compartment further facilitate cooling. Vibration-absorbing material, mounted to the shelf, further provides shock-absorbing support to the modules.

Inventors:

Guy Lambiaso - Garden Grove CA

Assignee:

The Boeing Company - Chicago IL

International Classification:

H01R 1360

US Classification:

439131, 439135

Abstract:

An apparatus is for physically accessing a passenger interface unit (PIU) within a LAN of a mobile platform. The apparatus includes a housing recessed in a floor surface of the mobile platform, and a spring-loaded hinge coupled to the PIU and an upper edge of a sidewall of the housing. The spring-loaded hinge rotates between a non-deployed position and a deployed position. The apparatus also includes a cover plate to cover the housing, the spring-loaded hinge and the PIU when the spring-loaded hinge is in the non-deployed position, thereby making the PIU inaccessible. Additionally, the spring-loaded hinge automatically rotates to the deployed position when the cover plate is removed, thereby deploying said PIU such that the PIU is accessible.

Abstract:

A junction box for an aircraft that provides a convenient and secure device for routing electrical cables through a passenger compartment floor panel of an aircraft. The junction box includes an enclosure that attaches to a bottom surface of the floor panel of the aircraft, and a cover, cable strain support, and gasket, that attach to a top surface of the floor panel. The walls of the enclosure can accommodate various shaped cutouts depending on the type of cable connectors being used with the cables. A portion of the cover is offset from the rest of the cover to provide an access opening for routing cables into the passenger compartment of the aircraft.

US Classification:

2441185, 2441186

Abstract:

An aircraft seat mounted passenger interface apparatus is provided including a seat having an arm portion and a frame. The frame is mounted to a floor of the aircraft. A cavity is formed in the arm portion and an internet interface device is disposed within the cavity. The internet interface device is operable in a first mode enabling access to an internet connection port and in a second mode preventing access to the internet connection port. Preferably, the internet interface device includes an access panel residing substantially flush with a surface of the arm portion in the second mode. Also, the cable interconnecting the internet interface device with an internet server is preferably routed along the frame of the seat.

Assignee:

The Boeing Company - Chicago IL

International Classification:

H01R 1352

US Classification:

439521, 248228

Abstract:

An electrical interface panel adapted to be removably secured to one or more attachment supports which are in turn secured to a corresponding plurality of parallel extending aircraft stringers. The electrical interface panel includes groups of openings formed thereon defining a corresponding plurality of mounting points for external components to be selectively secured thereat. A pair of openings on the electrical interface panel define cover attachment points for a cover to be removably secured to the interface panel. The interface panel allows an electrical box or other closure member to be supported from two or more stringers and accommodates variations in the spacing of the stringers without having to modify the interface panel or the electrical box.

Abstract:

An electrical cable interconnect device for use in an opening in a panel of an aircraft to interconnect cables on opposite sides of the panel. The interconnect device has a bracket having at least one peripheral edge that is configured and adapted to attach to the panel. A plate extends along a portion of the at least one peripheral edge of the bracket and through the opening in the panel. The plate has at least one opening that allows an electrical cable and/or a connector to be attached to the plate so that the plate facilitates interconnection of electrical cables on opposite sides of the panel. A cover can be disposed on top of the bracket so that the cover covers a portion of the opening in the panel. A gasket can be positioned between the bracket and the panel to seal the connection of the bracket to the panel.
