AIRCRAFT CABIN PORTION, AND AIRCRAFT HAVING A FLUID COLLECTOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18551311 titled 'AIRCRAFT CABIN PORTION, AND AIRCRAFT HAVING A FLUID COLLECTOR
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an aircraft cabin portion with a cabin device module that includes a fluid-guiding element and a fluid collector made of flexible material for draining fluids.
- The aircraft cabin portion includes a cabin device module with an upper face.
- A fluid-guiding element is located on the upper face of the cabin device module.
- A fluid collector is situated at the lower end of the fluid-guiding element.
- The fluid collector is made substantially of flexible material and forms a lumen for draining fluids.
- The lumen has an entry opening at the lower end of the fluid-guiding element for fluid flow.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in aircraft cabins to efficiently drain fluids and prevent accumulation, improving passenger comfort and safety.
Problems Solved
This innovation solves the problem of fluid buildup in aircraft cabins, which can lead to discomfort, odors, and potential safety hazards.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved cabin cleanliness, reduced maintenance costs, enhanced passenger experience, and increased safety.
Potential Commercial Applications
Potential commercial applications of this technology could include aircraft manufacturing companies, airlines, and companies specializing in aircraft cabin maintenance and upgrades.
Possible Prior Art
There may be prior art related to fluid drainage systems in aircraft cabins, but specific examples are not provided in the patent application.
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology impact aircraft weight and fuel efficiency?
The patent application does not address the potential impact of this technology on aircraft weight and fuel efficiency. Further research and testing would be needed to determine these effects.
Are there any limitations to the types of fluids that can be drained using this system?
The patent application does not specify any limitations on the types of fluids that can be drained using this system. It would be important to investigate whether certain fluids could cause damage or clogging in the drainage system.
Original Abstract Submitted
An aircraft cabin portion having a cabin device module which has an upper face, a fluid-guiding element located on the upper face of the cabin device module, and a fluid collector located at a lower end of the fluid-guiding element. The fluid collector may consist substantially of a flexible material which forms a lumen for draining a fluid, wherein the lumen has an entry opening located at the lower end of the fluid-guiding element so that the fluid flows from the at least one fluid-guiding element into the lumen. Also an aircraft having such an aircraft cabin portion.
