Aircraft cabin section and aircraft having an aircraft cabin section
An aircraft cabin section with an aircraft door, a cabin floor, and at least one lining mounted to the aircraft door. The aircraft cabin section further comprises at least one seal that is mounted to the at least one lining and seals a space between the at least one lining and the cabin floor. This prevents a cold air draft from entering the aircraft cabin.
1. An aircraft cabin section, comprising:
an aircraft door;
a cabin floor;
at least one lining mounted to the aircraft door; and
an emergency escape slide attached to the aircraft door,
wherein at least one seal is mounted to the at least one lining which seals a space between the at least one lining and the cabin floor,
wherein the at least one seal comprises at least one flat section that is arranged substantially perpendicular to the cabin floor and which spans between a bottom edge of lining and cabin floor,
wherein the at least one seal is mounted to or integrated into the bottom edge of the lining, and
wherein the emergency escape slide includes at least one of an indicator and a handle which protrudes through a slit in the at least one seal.
2. The aircraft cabin section according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one seal is configured to elastically deform when contacting the cabin floor and in response to a movement of the aircraft door relative to the cabin floor.
3. The aircraft cabin section according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one seal comprises a bent section that forms a free end of the seal arranged to contact the cabin floor, when the aircraft door is in a closed position.
4. The aircraft cabin section according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one seal comprises a loop section that forms a free end of the seal arranged to contact the cabin floor, when the aircraft door is in a closed position.
5. The aircraft cabin section according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one seal has at least one slit.
6. The aircraft cabin section according to claim 5 , wherein the at least one slit is arranged at least one of parallel to a cross-sectional plane of the at least one seal or parallel to a longitudinal direction of the at least one seal.
7. The aircraft cabin section according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one lining is a slide cover covering the emergency escape slide.
8. The aircraft cabin section according to claim 7 , wherein the at least one seal is configured to allow protruding of an indicator or handle of the emergency escape slide through the at least one seal and to seal at least part of a circumference of the indicator or handle.
9. The aircraft cabin section according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one seal is made of an elastic material.
10. The aircraft cabin section according to claim 9 , wherein the at least one seal is made of rubber or silicone.
11. An aircraft having at least one aircraft cabin section according to claim 1 .
12. The aircraft cabin section according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one lining is a door lining.
13. An aircraft cabin section, comprising:
an aircraft door;
a cabin floor; and
at least one lining mounted to the aircraft door,
wherein at least one seal is mounted to the at least one lining which seals a space between the at least one lining and the cabin floor,
wherein the at least one lining is a slide cover covering an emergency escape slide attached to the aircraft door, and
wherein the emergency escape slide includes at least one of an indicator and a handle which protrudes through a slit in the at least one seal, and
wherein the slit has one or more branches and seals at least part of a circumference of the indicator or handle.
14. The aircraft cabin section according to claim 13 , wherein the at least one seal is configured to elastically deform when contacting the cabin floor and in response to a movement of the aircraft door relative to the cabin floor.
15. The aircraft cabin section according to claim 13 , wherein the at least one seal comprises a loop section that forms a free end of the seal arranged to contact the cabin floor, when the aircraft door is in a closed position.
16. The aircraft cabin section according to claim 13 , wherein the at least one seal is made of an elastic material.
17. The aircraft cabin section according to claim 16 , wherein the at least one seal is made of rubber or silicone.
18. An aircraft cabin section, comprising:
an aircraft door;
a cabin floor;
at least one lining mounted to the aircraft door; and
an emergency escape slide attached to the aircraft door,
wherein at least one seal is mounted to the at least one lining which seals a space between the at least one lining and the cabin floor,
wherein the at least one seal comprises a bent section followed by a loop section, such that the loop section forms a free end of the seal arranged to contact the cabin floor, when the aircraft door is in a closed position,
wherein the bent section covers a portion of the space between the at least one lining and the cabin floor, and
wherein the emergency escape slide includes at least one of an indicator and a handle which protrudes through a slit in the at least one seal.
19. The aircraft cabin section according to claim 18 , wherein the at least one slit is arranged at least one of parallel to a cross-sectional plane of the at least one seal or parallel to a longitudinal direction of the at least one seal.
