Embodiment Construction

[0035] in the following to Figures 1 to 12 In the description of , the same or corresponding elements are denoted by the same reference numerals.

[0036] figure 1 A sectional view showing an embodiment of a hinge according to the invention in an open state with a cover device according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention.

[0037] figure 1 The reference number 1 in the figure represents the first hinge part, which is connected to the second hinge part 2 through the hinge axis 3, so that both the first and the second hinge parts 1, 2 or only one of them can be around the hinge axis. 2 Perform a turning motion. In any case, at least one of the first and second hinge parts 1, 2 can rotate around the hinge axis 3, so that figure 1 shown in the open state and figure 2 Move the hinge between the closed states shown. Reference numeral 4 designates a flexible cover. The flexible cover 4 can be, for example, a plastic film or can be made of an elastic material with a ...

Abstract

Hinges, especially those on aircraft doors, have poor aerodynamic properties. According to one embodiment of the invention, a cover device for an aircraft hinge has a flexible cover (4) that stretches over the outer contour of the hinge, for example for a closed hinge. Advantageously, this can cover the opening between the first hinge part (1) and the second hinge part (2), so that improved aerodynamic properties can be obtained.

Description

[0001] This application claims priority to US Provisional Patent Application No. 60 / 589,284, filed July 19, 2004, and German Patent Application No. 102004034903.7, filed July 19, 2004, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. technical field [0002] The invention relates to a cover for a hinge such as an aircraft door hinge. In particular, the invention relates to a cover arrangement for aircraft hinges and aircraft door hinges. Background technique [0003] In aircraft construction, aluminum profiles are riveted on both sides parallel to the door hinges in order to protect the hinges from rainwater intrusion into the fuselage and to protect the doors in the outer area of ​​the aircraft. These aluminum profiles guide rainwater away from the hinges. In particular, such devices are used for cargo doors of cargo aircraft. [0004] On the downside, these externally riveted aluminum profiles create air resistance, which leads to additional fuel consum...
