Abstract
A device for putting away a holographic mirror includes at least one curved slideway, a carriage for moving on the slideway from an operational position to a position where the mirror is put away, the carriage being fixedly joined to the mirror, and a holder holding the mirror in a position where it is put away. The device is used for stowing of a holographic mirror in an aircraft.
Claims18
A device for stowing away a holographic mirror, comprising:
- at least one curved slideway located above an operator,
- sliding means for sliding on the slideway from any position for viewing the mirror to a given position when the mirror is stowed away, said sliding means being fixedly joined to the holographic mirror, and
- means continuously secured to an upper portion of the mirror for holding the mirror in position when the mirror is stowed away wherein the slideway is fixed to the mechanical structure of a windscreen of an aircraft and wherein said sliding means includes means for moving said mirror along the structure of the windscreen to one side of the field of vision of the operator when the mirror is stowed away and wherein said means continuously secured to the upper portion of the mirror includes a linking arm which continuously interconnects said upper portion of the mirror and said sliding means.
A device for putting away a holographic mirror, comprising:
- at least one curved slideway located above an operator;
- a sliding mechanism slidable on the slideway from any given position through a position when stowed away, said sliding mechanism being fixedly joined to the mirror;
- and
- a mechanism continuously secured to an upper portion of the mirror and holding the mirror in the position where the mirror is stowed away wherein the slideway is fixed to the mechanical structure of a windscreen of an aircraft and wherein said sliding mechanism includes a mechanism moving said mirror along the structure of the windscreen to one side of the field of vision of the operator where the mirror is stowed away and wherein said mechanism continuously secured to said upper portion of the mirror includes a linking arm which continuously interconnects said upper portion of the mirror and said sliding mechanism.
