Antiblocking vehicle door edge protector
An assembly of a vehicle door (3) and of a panel (1) surrounding the door in which an edge protector (4) extends along a skin (3a) of the vehicle door facing the skin (1a) of the panel and has a portion disposed between the skins (1a, 3a) following when in a nominal position the geometric alignment of their exterior faces. This edge protector (4) has in a median portion (4b) a profile that is adapted to evolve and is made of an elastic material so that it has sufficient flexibility in a direction parallel to the distance between the skins (1a, 3a) and a transverse stiffness in the internal-external direction and its contact with the skin (1a) of the panel does not block opening of the door or damage the skins (1a, 3a).
Door unit for a vehicle
A door unit for an aircraft includes a door which is configured, in a closed position, to cover an opening in the vehicle and to delimit a vehicle interior from a vehicle environment; a pressure compensation flap which is configured, in a sealing position, to cover a pressure compensation opening in the door and, in a pressure compensation position, to at least partially release the pressure compensation opening; a locking element which is configured, in a locking state, to lock the door in the closed position and, in an unlocking state, to unlock the door; and a blocking element which is configured, in the sealing position of the pressure compensation flap, to block a movement of the locking element from the locking state into the unlocking state, wherein the blocking element is arranged on the pressure compensation flap.
Systems and methods for providing alerts regarding engagement of an emergency exit door of an aircraft
An aircraft includes a system including an emergency exit door within the internal cabin. The emergency exit door includes a lever configured to be engaged to open the emergency exit door. A first cover is removably secured to the emergency exit door. The first cover is configured to be removed to gain access to the lever. A second cover is disposed between the lever and the first cover. The second cover is configured to be removed to gain access to the lever. One or more sensors are configured to detect positions of the first cover and the second cover.
MECHANISM FOR LOCKING A DOOR IN CIRCULAR TRANSLATION
A circular translation door locking mechanism (2) assembly (2), the door being of the vehicle semi-plug type. The mechanism (2) includes a handle (3) that activates a rotation of the door (1a) on itself and two guide entities of this door (1a) in circular translation: an arm entity (4a) including an arm (4b) and a forearm (4c) rotating with respect to each other and a guide entity (5a) having a connecting rod (5b) and a lever (5c) rotating with respect to each other. The locking mechanism (2) further includes at least one device for locking the lever (5c) and forearm (4c) in relation to the door (1a) as well as a locking element of the handle (3) during the circular translation of the door (1a).
Mechanism for locking aircraft door handles with lateral escape of the stops
A mechanism for locking an actuating handle of an aircraft door having laterally releasing stops and opens by circular translation, the door having a pivoting maneuvering arm coupled to a forearm articulated on the door and handle, in a plane parallel to the arm pivoting plane, between a closed position of the door and an end-of-travel position corresponding to partial opening thereof after releasing the stops, includes at least one peg borne by the handle and at least one guideway with a circular profile and borne by the arm face, the face arranged facing the peg and centered on the hinge, the peg and guideway being relatively positioned so, in the end-of-travel position of the handle corresponding to the end of the stops releasing and during the circular translation of the door until is fully open, the rotation of the handle is blocked by contacting the peg against the guideway.
Support assembly for an aircraft door
A door assembly for an aircraft includes a door, a door hinge, and a support assembly rotatably mounting the door hinge to the door. The support assembly includes a forearm and at least one link. The forearm is rotatably mounted to the door hinge along a first rotational axis. The forearm extends along the first rotational axis between and to an upper end and a lower end. The at least one link extends between and to an inner end and an outer end. The at least one link is rotatably mounted to the forearm at the inner end. The at least one link is rotatable relative to the forearm about a second rotational axis. The at least one link is rotatably mounted to the door at the outer end. The at least one link is rotatable about the second rotational axis between and to a lowered position of the door and a raised position of the door.
