Arrays and method of private sheltering of occupied beds in aircraft

摘要

Beds are disposed into multistoried columns parallel to a longitudinal axis of an array and displaceable between an interior of a frame which shelters and supports and guides the beds through openings, and an aisle for occupying and vacating the beds. The bed comprises a front wall with a sealing means for closing off the opening, and side and end walls with sealing means and a head cowl for closing off private interiors at rests. The beds in the oblique-angled array are displaceable longitudinally at an acute angle to the axis and have front bins for closing off the openings. The beds in the axial straightforward array are displaceable transversally to their axes at below of private bins in the frame and on foldable trap-shields.
