A lavatory enclosure for an aircraft, reconfigurable to accommodate a stretcher, includes a first wall, a second wall, a third wall, and a fourth wall. The lavatory enclosure has a doorway in the third wall and a door having a first side, a second side, an upper end, and a lower end, in the doorway. The door is operable between an opened position and a closed position. A reconfigurable wall element with a first edge and a second edge is disposed in the second wall. The reconfigurable wall element has a hinge along the first edge permitting the reconfigurable wall element to pivot between a closed position, where the reconfigurable element is flush with the second wall, and an opened position, where the second edge of the reconfigurable wall element is pivoted so that the second edge is interior to the lavatory enclosure.

An arrangement for a passenger carrying aircraft including a passenger cabin, an aisle extending in a longitudinal direction of the cabin, passenger seats positioned along opposing sides of the aisle, and an aisle track system disposed along the aisle, the aisle track system including spaced first and second floor tracks extending in a longitudinal direction of the aisle adapted to engage with an object adapted to be conveyed down the aisle or a carriage for conveying an object down the aisle. The aisle track system may extend into a lavatory or lateral tracks intersecting the aisle track system may extend into a lavatory such that a wheelchair can travel down the aisle into the lavatory while remaining secured to the system tracks and deck.

A block and bolt connector comprises a block having an aperture with a lower opening and an upper opening which is smaller than the lower opening. The aperture extends through the block from the lower opening to the upper opening, and has a first portion and a second portion. A bolt has a head portion which passes through the lower opening but not the upper opening, and a shaft which may pass through the lower opening and the upper opening. The head portion of the bolt is received within aperture of the block and the shaft extends at least partially outside of the block beyond the upper opening. The first and second portions of the aperture are configured so as to permit selected movement of the bolt within the aperture relative to the block.

A stretcher loading assembly including a support member operatively attachable to an aircraft floor, an elongate rail member attached to the support member, an elongate traverse beam movably attached to the rail member, and a trolley assembly movably attached to the traverse beam, the trolley assembly including lifting means movable between a lowered position and a raised position, the lifting means adapted to support a stretcher in the raised position, wherein the support member is at least twice as wide as the rail member.

A cover panel for a core panel of a structural aircraft component includes a protection cover having an outer shape corresponding to the outer shape of the core panel and including at least one cutout aperture, and at least one fabric panel mounted to the protection cover and covering the at least one cutout aperture.

A stretcher loading assembly including a support member operatively attachable to an aircraft floor, an elongate rail member attached to the support member, an elongate traverse beam movably attached to the rail member, and a trolley assembly movably attached to the traverse beam, the trolley assembly including lifting means movable between a lowered position and a raised position, the lifting means adapted to support a stretcher in the raised position, wherein the support member is at least twice as wide as the rail member.

An enclosed patient suite may include a plurality of suite walls, a patient bed positioned in a patient area defined within the plurality of suite walls, a plurality of medical systems with at least some of the plurality of medical systems mounted to the plurality of suite walls, a plurality of support members coupled to the plurality of suite walls, a plurality of wheels with a particular wheel of the plurality of wheels coupled to a corresponding support member of the plurality of support members, a rail brake configured to engage a floor-mounted rail in a floor of at least one of a cargo hold or a cabin of an aircraft, and a controller coupled to the plurality of medical systems and configured to receive data from and transmit data to the plurality of medical systems. The enclosed patient suite may be dimensioned to fit within the aircraft.

A modular monument comprises a first transport module with a tongue and a second transport module with a groove. The transport modules are arranged one on top of the other and aligned flush with each other on a lateral surface of the monument with the monument in an assembled state. The tongue and grooves engage into each other in the assembled state of the monument in such a way that the transport modules can be shifted relative to each other in a longitudinal direction. The first transport module exhibits a locking element to prevent a relative motion of the two transport modules in the longitudinal direction in the assembled state. The embodiment further relates to an aircraft with a modular monument, as well as to a method for transporting an item in a vehicle.

A toilet module and a vehicle including a toilet module are provided. An exemplary toilet module includes a toilet unit and a housing. The housing includes a front wall with an access opening, a first functional wall arranged opposite the front wall and supporting the toilet unit, and a second functional wall perpendicular to the front wall and extending between the front wall and the first functional wall. Further, the toilet module includes a storage shelf attached to the housing and a swivable table attached to the housing and movable to an extended configuration. The swivable table overlaps the storage shelf when in the extended configuration.
