First Claim
Patent Images
1. A door for a compartment, the door being movable between a first position in which the door closes an opening of the compartment, and a second position, in which the opening of the compartment is accessible, the door comprising:
- two guide systems, one guide system provided on each lateral side of the opening of the compartment to guide the door in a vertical translational movement along a vertical sliding axis such that the door is maintained in a same vertical plane in the first and second positions, wherein each guide system comprises;
a substantially vertical guide rail forming a projecting male member and a slideway having a shape complementary to that of the guide rail to receive the guide rail and permit a sliding movement of the guide rail;
whereinthe two guide systems extend vertically, but with different orientations relative to one another; and
a first mechanism that applies an upward force on the door when the door is in the first position and a second mechanism that maintains, in a first configuration, the door in the first position while the upward force is applied by the first mechanism, and in a second configuration of the second mechanism the upward force automatically translates the door upwards into the second position,wherein the guide systems are oriented perpendicular to one another.

Abstract
This door is intended for a compartment, such as an aircraft baggage compartment. The door can be moved between a first position, in which it closes an opening of the compartment, and a second position, in which the opening is accessible. This door is provided with a guide system on both sides of the opening of the compartment to guide the door in a substantially vertical translational movement.

11. A door for a compartment, the door being movable between a first position in which the door closes an opening of the compartment, and a second position, in which the opening of the compartment is accessible, the door comprising:
-
two guide systems provided on each side of the opening of the compartment to guide the door in a substantially vertical translational movement, wherein each guide system comprises; a substantially vertical guide rail forming a projecting male member and a slideway having a shape complementary to that of the guide rail so as to receive the guide rail and permit a sliding movement of the guide rail; and an intermediate member having substantially a same length as the guide rail or the slideway and positioned between the guide rail and the slideway, wherein the intermediate member is not fixedly connected to either the door or the compartment, wherein the guide systems are oriented perpendicular to one another. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
