View Patent ↗The invention relates to a partition wall for partitioning at least two regions in a cabin of a vehicle. The invention includes a partition comprising a body that may be moved into a first open position and into a second closed position and comprising a curtain rail, wherein the body is designed in the first position to cover an aisle that is adjacent to the partition, at least in some regions, by means of a curtain that has been affixed to the curtain rail.
1. A partition wall for partitioning at least two regions in a cabin of a vehicle, comprising:
a partition wall and movably connected thereto a movably held body that can be moved into at least a closed position and an opened position and that comprises a curtain rail;
wherein the body is designed in the opened position to cover an aisle that is adjacent to the partition wall, at least in some regions, by a curtain that has been affixed to the curtain rail,
wherein the body is hingeably held on a hinging axis that is positioned within the partition wall,
wherein the hinging axis is arranged such that the body in the open position is in proximity to a cabin ceiling, and
wherein the partition wall further comprises at least one recess for accommodating the curtain when the body is in the closed position, which recess is covered by the body in the closed position.
2. The partition wall of claim 1 ,
wherein the body has a curved shape that corresponds to the shape of the cabin ceiling so that the body in the open position essentially conforms to the cabin ceiling.
3. The partition wall of claim 1 ,
wherein the curtain rail has a shape that corresponds to the shape of the body, wherein the curtain rail is positioned flush against the side of the body, which side in the open position is opposite the cabin ceiling.
4. The partition wall of claim 1 ,
wherein the curtain rail is arranged at a distance from the body on the side of the body, which side in the open position is opposite the cabin ceiling.
5. The partition wall of claim 4 ,
wherein the curtain rail comprises an essentially straight shape.
6. The partition wall of claim 4 ,
wherein the body comprises trim elements for covering the space between the body and the curtain rail.
7. The partition wall of claim 1 ,
wherein the body, when in a closed position, is arranged in a lateral surface of the partition wall, which lateral surface at least in some regions faces the aisle.
8. The partition wall of claim 1 ,
wherein, the hinging axis is aligned so as to be essentially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the cabin.
9. The partition wall of claim 1 ,
wherein at least one of the body or the partition wall comprises a locking device for locking the body in the first and/or the second position.
10. The partition wall of claim 1 ,
wherein the partition wall and the body in the closed position form an even and flush common surface.
11. An aircraft comprising at least one partition wall according to claim 1 .
12. A partition wall for partitioning at least two regions in a cabin of a vehicle, comprising:
a partition wall and movably connected thereto a movably held body that can be moved into at least a closed position and an opened position and that comprises a curtain rail;
wherein the body is designed in the opened position to cover an aisle that is adjacent to the partition wall, at least in some regions, by a curtain that has been affixed to the curtain rail,
wherein the partition wall further comprises at least one recess for accommodating the curtain when the body is in the closed position, which recess is covered by the body in the closed position,
wherein the body has a curved shape that corresponds to the shape of the cabin ceiling so that the body in the open position essentially conforms to a cabin ceiling.
13. The partition wall of claim 12 ,
wherein the curtain rail is arranged at a distance from the body on the side of the body, which side in the open position is opposite the cabin ceiling.
14. The partition wall of claim 13 ,
wherein the curtain rail comprises an essentially straight shape.
15. The partition wall of claim 13 ,
wherein the body comprises trim elements for covering the space between the body and the curtain rail.
16. The partition wall of claim 12 ,
wherein at least one of the body or the partition wall comprises a locking device for locking the body in the first and/or the second position.
17. The partition wall of claim 12 ,
wherein the partition wall and the body in the closed position form an even and flush common surface.
18. A partition wall for partitioning at least two regions in a cabin of a vehicle, comprising:
a partition wall and movably connected thereto a movably held body that can be moved into at least a closed position and an opened position and that comprises a curtain rail;
wherein the body is designed in the opened position to cover an aisle that is adjacent to the partition wall, at least in some regions, by a curtain that has been affixed to the curtain rail,
wherein the partition wall further comprises at least one recess for accommodating the curtain when the body is in the closed position, which recess is covered by the body in the closed position,
wherein the curtain rail is arranged at a distance from the body on the side of the body, which side in the open position is opposite a cabin ceiling.
19. The partition wall of claim 18 ,
wherein the curtain rail comprises an essentially straight shape.
20. The partition wall of claim 18 ,
wherein the body comprises trim elements for covering the space between the body and the curtain rail.
