Divider element for an aircraft cabin

A divider element for an aircraft cabin, comprising:

• a frame member forming a closed ring wherein the frame member may assume an expanded state and a collapsed state;
• wherein in the expanded state the frame member extends in a plane and defines a first area which is surrounded by the frame member;
• and
• wherein in the collapsed state the frame member defines a second area which is surrounded by the frame member, the second area being smaller than the first area;
• and
• a flexible sheet member which is fixed to the frame member and dimensioned such that when the frame member is in the expanded state, it extends over the area defined by the frame member,
• wherein the frame member comprises an upper section having first and second ends, a lower section having first and second ends, a first lateral section and a second lateral section;
• wherein the first lateral section connects the first end of the upper section with the first end of the lower section;
• wherein the second lateral section connects the second end of the upper section with the second end of the lower section;
• wherein there is a pivotable connection between the first end of the upper section and the first lateral section;
• wherein there is a pivotable connection between the first end of the lower section and the first lateral section;
• wherein the connection between the second end of the upper section and the second lateral section defines a fixed angle;
• wherein there is a pivotable connection between the second end of the lower section and the second lateral section;
• and
• wherein the lower section comprises a hinge portion at a distance from its second end.
