A coupling module as an interface between an air passenger bridge or air passenger stairs and the fuselage of an aircraft has a floor and at least the floor has a floor bumper at an end facing the aircraft fuselage. The floor bumper has a floor bumper segment that is arranged at the coupling module pivotable about a joint having a horizontal axis.

A coupling module for forming an interface between a cabin of an air passenger bridge and an aircraft. The coupling module has a projecting roof and a floor arrangement spanned by the projecting roof. The end face of the floor arrangement facing the cabin is fastenable to the cabin by at least one releasable fastening means, and the floor arrangement is connectable spaced apart from its end face to the cabin by at least one anchorage means.

Coupling module for a passenger boarding bridge with suspended floor

A coupling module for coupling a passenger boarding bridge with an aircraft has a floor assembly and a canopy roof spanning the floor assembly. The coupling module and/or the floor assembly is configured to be received at a cabin of a passenger boarding bridge such that the coupling module and/or the floor assembly can swivel relative to the cabin around a horizontal swivel axis. A position sensor is operable to measure an inclination of the floor assembly relative to a geodetic horizontal position.

A coupling module forms an interface between a cabin of a passenger bridge and an aircraft. The coupling module has a projecting roof and a floor arrangement overspanned by the projecting roof. The floor arrangement is pivotable about a horizontal pivot axis relative to the cabin. At least the floor arrangement and the projecting roof have a common pivot axis that is arranged in or beneath the floor arrangement, with the floor arrangement at least indirectly and substantially supporting the projecting roof.
