First Claim
Patent Images
1. A device for early registering of a closing state of a closure element for a compartment opening, comprising:
- at least one inductive proximity sensor;
at least one measuring plate; and
at least one movement path guide,wherein the inductive proximity sensor and the measuring plate are arranged at regions of the closure element which are opposite a closing region of the closure element and wherein the inductive proximity sensor and the measuring plate are arranged at a corresponding edge region adjacent to the compartment opening, andwherein the movement path guide is designed to guide the measuring plate parallel to the proximity sensor from a predetermined degree of closing of the closure element to complete closure of the closure element.

Abstract
A device is provided for early registering of the closing state of a closure element for a compartment opening includes, but is not limited to an inductive proximity sensor, a measuring plate and a movement path guide. By means of the movement path guide the measuring plate is guided parallel to the proximity sensor from a predetermined degree of closing to complete closure of the closure element. In this manner a precise early statement relating to the imminent closure of the closure element can be made, for example in order to activate a locking mechanism.

8. An aircraft, comprising at least one cargo compartment and at least one cargo door that close off the cargo compartment, and a locking mechanism, comprising:
-
a cargo-compartment opening frame; a cargo door pivotally held to the cargo-compartment opening frame, comprising a pivot axis and an edge region, arranged opposite the pivot axis; at least one inductive proximity sensor, at least one measuring plate, and at least one movement path guide, wherein the inductive proximity sensor is arranged in an edge region of the cargo-compartment opening frame, which edge region corresponds to the edge region of the cargo door, wherein the measuring plate, by means of the movement path guide, is arranged at the edge region of the cargo door, and wherein the movement path guide is designed to guide the measuring plate parallel to the proximity sensor from a predetermined space between the edge region of the cargo door and the corresponding edge region of the cargo-compartment opening frame to complete closure of the cargo door.
