A resting area system and method for an internal cabin of a vehicle includes a monument, and a bed module coupled to the monument. The bed module includes one or more beds. The bed module is moveable between a stowed position and a deployed position relative to the monument.

The invention relates mainly to a closure device, notably for closing a passage formed in a cabin of an aircraft, comprising: a support means that is able to slide along a slideway in a sliding direction, a closing wall that is able to close off the passage, and a locking system that is able to take up a locked state, in which the locking system ensures a mechanical connection between the closing wall and the support means, such that the closing wall is movable with the support means in the sliding direction, characterized in that, notably in the case of a malfunction, the locking system is able to pass into an unlocked state, in which the closing wall is disconnected from the support means, such that the closing wall is movable on its own in the sliding direction.

Passenger seats having improved comfort emergency egress solutions for mini suites or other types of passenger seats that have a privacy screen, wall, or sliding door that divides the passenger seat from the aisle area or other common area. Specific embodiments find particular use on-board passenger transportation vehicles, such as aircraft, where comfort and privacy must be balanced with safety and federal regulations.

A passenger seating unit for a vehicle, such as an aircraft, includes a privacy shell and a door. The privacy shell at least partially defines a passenger seat area, and the privacy shell includes an opening for allowing entry to and exit from the seat unit. A passenger seat may be provided in the passenger seat area. The door is supported on the privacy shell and includes a first panel and a second panel. The second panel is pivotably connected to the first panel such that the second panel is movable relative to the first panel between a folded position and an unfolded position. In the folded position, the door is movable in a forward and aft direction relative to the privacy shell.

An aircraft interior structure may include a primary monument, an auxiliary monument, and a passenger seating section. The primary monument may include one or more storage compartments and a primary panel configured to actuate between a primary panel stowed position and a primary panel deployed position. The auxiliary monument may be spaced a select distance from the primary monument across a floor area of an aircraft cabin, and may include an auxiliary panel configured to actuate between an auxiliary panel stowed position and an auxiliary panel deployed position. The passenger seating section may include a footwell at least partially within the primary monument and proximate to the one or more storage compartments. The footwell may correspond to an aircraft seat. The aircraft seat may be configured to form a bed surface with at least a portion being within the footwell when the aircraft seat is in a lie-flat position.

An actuatable door for an aircraft passenger suite may include a flexible privacy divider configured to actuate between a stowed divider position and a deployed divider position, a cartridge configured to actuate between a stowed cartridge position and a deployed cartridge position via at least one intermediate cartridge position, and a mechanism housed within the cartridge and configured to actuate the flexible privacy divider between the stowed divider position and the deployed divider position, where the flexible privacy divider may be at least partially stowed within the cartridge when in the stowed divider position. The actuatable door may be configured to actuate between a stowed door position and a deployed door position via at least one intermediate door position, and configured to separate the aircraft passenger suite from an open area within an aircraft cabin when in the deployed door position and provide privacy to the aircraft passenger suite.

Described are aircraft door assemblies comprising a stationary portion comprising at least one translation track and a movable portion comprising at least one channel. The movable portion is slidably coupled to the stationary portion via at least an attachment plate. The aircraft door assembly comprises a locked state and an unlocked state. In the locked state, the attachment plate and the movable portion are slidable as a unit relative to the stationary portion along the at least one translation track. In the unlocked state, the movable portion is slidable relative to the attachment plate and the stationary portion along the at least one channel.

A latch system and method are configured to adjustably secure a first component to a second component. The latch system includes a mounting base. A slide plate is moveably coupled to the mounting base. The slide plate is configured to be slidably adjusted relative to the mounting base. A housing is secured to the slide plate. The housing includes an arm channel configured to receive a latch arm.

A visual partition system is provided. The system comprises a number of dry mist dispensers that generate a particle curtain comprising liquid micro-droplets. A gutter system collects liquid from the particle curtain, and at least one vacuum extractor is operably coupled to the gutter system. A liquid recirculation system collects liquid from the gutter system via the at least one vacuum extractor and returns it to the dry mist dispensers for reuse of the liquid.

A system for an automated cabin-divider door for an aircraft includes a door, a motor for moving the door to an open position, a limit switch configured to detect when the door is in a fully open position and to stop the motor, and electronics coupling the motor and the limit switch to an avionics system. The avionics system determines when the door is to be opened and provides a signal to the motor for moving the door to the fully open position. A method for automatically opening the cabin-divider door includes determining whether the aircraft is on the ground or in flight, determining whether the aircraft is taxiing, and determining whether the aircraft is in a final phase of approach. When the aircraft is taxiing or in the final phase of approach, the method includes sending a command signal to the motor for opening the cabin-divider door.
