An access device to an aircraft, bus or building. The access device having a loading surface connected to a vehicle, wherein a protective device for passengers is arranged on the loading surface.

Access device to an airplane

An access tunnel system comprising at least one access tunnel for the sheltered guidance of persons to a vehicle, an aircraft, a building or the like. In accordance with the invention, a node element is provided at which the access tunnel opens and which at least one further access tunnel adjoins.

Access tunnel system for the sheltered guidance of persons

An access tunnel to an aircraft includes a plurality of tunnel elements each having a longitudinal axis, each tunnel element tapering conically in the direction of the longitudinal axis such that the tunnel elements can be pushed into each other.

A method for positioning an access or loading assembly against the fuselage of an aircraft during the loading or unloading process, in which at least two multichannel scanners are oriented toward the aircraft fuselage and disposed above one another at a distance from each other, each with several light emitting units and at least one detector. First, a reference position is determined by using the scanners, then a current position of the aircraft fuselage relative to the access or loading assembly is determined at determined time intervals by the multichannel scanners. The current position is compared with the reference position to determine a deviation. In case of a deviation between the two positions, a signal is transmitted to the control system of the positioning drive for realigning the access or loading assembly and reducing the deviation.

The invention relates to an elastomer metal element for an elastomer metal bearing, particularly as a bearing connection between a dome module and a vehicle, with an inner cylindrical metal part () for connection to a first structural element which is to be supported, with two outer sheet metal shell parts (') lying opposite each other and partly overlapping the inner cylindrical metal part, and with elastomer bodies () adhering between the inner metal part () and the sheet metal shell parts (&#x2032;), wherein the elastomer metal element (), with the application of a radial tensioning in the elastomer bodies (), can be pressed into an accommodating eye () at a second structural element which is to be supported. According to the invention, a twisting stop (with) is provided which, above a certain stop release moment, up to which the elastomer metal bearing () has a relatively high torsional stiffness with approximately linear torsional spring characteristics, can be pressed over with the release of the stop support, as a result of which a further torsional deflection with horizontal or declining spring characteristics is absorbed.

The invention relates to an articulated vehicle consisting of several vehicle parts () which are couplable together, each vehicle part () comprising at least two axles and one coupling frame () that is connected to said vehicle part () through a bellows (), a joint device () being provided between said vehicle part () and said coupling frame (), said joint device () comprising a coupling carrier () that is located approximately in the plane of said coupling frame (), said coupling carrier () comprising at least coupling means () for coupling to the joint device () of the other vehicle part ().

Articulated vehicle made from several vehicle parts which are couplable together

A telescopic gangway cabin has a canopy roof and a floor extending over the entire width of the canopy roof The gangway cabin can be used for docking to conventional commercial aircraft as well as to commuter aircraft. The undivided floor has a railing in the area of a lateral border of the floor and is displaceable together with the railing at right angles to the opening of the canopy roof under the side wall of the canopy roof.

Cabin for a telescopic gangway

A telescopic gangway is provided for handling the passengers of single-deck or double-deck passenger airplanes parked nose in at least at one of the doors of the main deck or upper deck, which doors are located in front of, above or behind the wing. Passengers go through the lateral rear door, a door which is located directly in front of or behind the wing and through a central door of the upper deck of a doubledeck aircraft. The telecopic gangway includes tunnel elements which may be swivelled over the wing of the airplane and can be telescoped with a cabin ( ) that can be moved up to the door of the airplane. A frame ( ) surrounds the tunnel elements. An extension arm is rigidly or movably fastened to the frame ( ), on which the telescoping tunnel elements are suspended in a height-adjustable manner. A post ( ) is arranged at a sufficient safe distance from the wing and the engine of the parked airplane. The frame ( ) is mounted on this post ( ) pivotably by an angle of 180&deg; around a vertical axis of rotation arranged centrally on the longitudinal axis of the tunnel elements ( ).
