Abstract
A hinge connection at a breathing gas supply unit between a container lower part (3) and a container door (4), which is fastened, pivotably around an axis, at a rear container edge (1) of the container lower part (3). The connection is provided such that dimensional differences of the container lower part can have only a limited effect on the positioning of the container door in relation to adjacent components of the breathing gas supply unit. The axis of the hinge is designed as projections (15) located at a spaced location from hinge pins (14) of a rail section (2) in the manner of a pin.
Claims20
An airplane breathing gas supply unit with a hinge connection, the unit comprising:
- a container lower part having a rear container edge with curved tongues;
- a rail section located at said rear container edge, said rail section having hinge pins defining an axially extending hinge axis and insertion openings made in one piece on a side of said rail section, said hinge pins and said insertion openings being arranged such that said hinge pins can be inserted into a curve of said tongues at said rear container edge and can be pivoted along said axially extending hinge axis, said rail section includes a projection which extends as a pin in a direction of said hinge axis;
- and
- a container door which is fastened to said projection of said rail section, pivotably around said axis, at said rear container edge of said container lower part.
A hinge connection at a container of a breathing gas supply unit in an airplane between a container lower part and a container door, the hinge connection comprising:
- curved tongues provided on the container lower part at a rear container edge;
- a rail section located at said rear container edge, said rail section having hinge pins defining an axially extending hinge axis and insertion openings made in one piece with a side of said rail section and arranged such that said hinge pins can be inserted into a curve of said tongues at said rear container edge and can be pivoted along said axially extending hinge axis, said rail section includes at least one projection which extends in a direction of said hinge axis, the container door being fastened to said rail section, pivotably around said axis, at said rear container edge of said container lower part.
An airplane breathing gas supply unit with a hinge connection, the unit comprising:
- a container wall having a container edge with curved tongues;
- a rail section located at said container edge, said rail section having a plurality of hinge pins defining a hinge axis, said rail section defining a plurality of insertion openings, said hinge pins and said insertion openings being shaped for said hinge pins to be insertable into a curve of said tongues of said container edge and for pivoting along said hinge axis, said rail section including a pin shaped projection which extends in a direction of said hinge axis, and
- a container door which is pivotably fastened to said projection around said hinge axis at said container edge of said container wall.
