Carrier arm arrangement, door and transport means

摘要

The present disclosure relates to a door for a transport means, which structurally provides the largest possible door width. Using a movable carrier arm device, the width of the door aperture can be reduced with little complexity from about 42 inches (Type “A”) as an additional equipment option to about 34 inches (Type “C”). To this end, the movable, for example, foldable, carrier arm device is provided which, when the door opens, automatically moves from a retracted position to an extended position in order to reduce the door aperture width to a value which has been predetermined for evacuation. Afterwards, the extended carrier arm device can be folded in again. In this manner, it may be possible to increase the comfort for the passengers and the crew when the aircraft is in the normal operating state since the carrier arm device provides a greater aperture width in the retracted position.

主权项

1. Transport means comprising a carrier arm arrangement and a door of the transport means, the carrier arm arrangement comprising:
a carrier arm connecting the door to a structure of the transport means and retaining and supporting the door; a movable carrier arm device comprising a covering flap which is adapted to assume a retracted position and an extended position; and
a carrier arm cover for covering a region of the carrier arm, wherein the carrier arm cover has a recess for receiving a portion of the movable carrier arm device, and wherein the carrier arm arrangement is adapted to reduce a width of an aperture of the door by moving the covering flap of the movable carrier arm device from the retracted position to the extended position when the door is in an open position.
