Aircraft door window
View Patent ↗An airplane door window of a passenger plane, includes an outer pane, an inner pane, an intermediate pane situated parallel between the outer pane and inner pane and designed as an optical lens body for the inspection of impact surfaces for emergency slides, portable staircases or boarding fingers. The outer pane and the inner pane are spaced apart from each other, arranged substantially parallel to each other in a continuous window gasket, and form an intermediate space. The intermediate pane is inserted into a continuous groove of the window gasket, and extends essentially parallel to the outer pane and the inner pane over a partial area of the intermediate space.
1. An airplane door window for a passenger plane, comprising:
an outer pane,
an inner pane,
an intermediate pane situated parallel between the outer pane and inner pane and designed as an optical lens body, and
a continuous window gasket,
wherein
the inner pane and the outer pane are substantially oval in design,
the outer pane and the inner pane are spaced apart and situated substantially parallel to each other in the window gasket, and form an intermediate space, and
the intermediate pane is inserted in a continuous groove of the window gasket, and extends substantially parallel to the outer pane and the inner pane over a partial area of the intermediate space, such that a space is provided between the intermediate pane and the gasket for pressure compensation, such that no cabin pressure acts on the intermediate pane.
2. The airplane door window of claim 1 , wherein the partial area of the intermediate space over which the intermediate pane extends lies in an area of between 25% and 75% of the surface of the outer pane.
3. The airplane door window of claim 1 , wherein the partial area of the intermediate space over which the intermediate pane extends makes up substantially 50% of the surface of the outer pane.
4. The airplane door window of claim 1 , wherein the intermediate pane is designed as a Fresnel lens.
5. The airplane door window of claim 1 , wherein the intermediate pane is situated near the inner pane.
6. The airplane door window of claim 1 , wherein the intermediate pane is inserted into the gasket to a sufficient insertion depth to secure the intermediate pane against detachment or slipping.
7. The airplane door window of claim 1 , wherein the intermediate pane is made of transparent plastic.
