Aircraft boarding bridge or aircraft boarding stairs

Abstract

The present invention relates to an airplane passenger bridge or airplane passenger gangway ladder with a transition part baseboard (30), wherein, the airplane passenger bridge or airplane passenger gangway ladder is provided with a vestibule diaphragm (1) straddled on the transition part baseboard, especially a U-shaped vestibule diaphragm, wherein, the clear height between the transition part baseboard (30) and the ceiling of the vestibule diaphragm (1) is changeable.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an aircraft boarding bridge (Fluggastbrücke) or an aircraft passenger gangway with a transition floor, wherein the aircraft boarding bridge or the aircraft passenger gangway has a bellows, in particular U-shaped bellows, spanned on the transition floor shed. Background technique [0002] Aircraft passenger ramps or aircraft boarding bridges are sufficiently known from DE 3023885A1, EP 0277648A1 and DE 3306109C2. The aircraft passenger ramp is used for accessing the aircraft. Here, the aircraft passenger gangway or the aircraft boarding bridge has an expandable bellows, and the bellows is straddled on the intermediate space between the aircraft passenger gangway or the aircraft boarding bridge and the aircraft, so as to protect the boarding personnel from the influence of the weather. The bellows are substantially U-shaped, wherein the bellows are closed at the bottom by a transition floor. At its end faces, the bellows has a...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

It is inconvenient to have a large vertical extension here because the shock absorber sometimes extends over the roof of the aircraft

This has the consequence that the shock absorber does not rest on the entire surface in the upper area, so there is a risk that water will flow in

In addition, there is the risk of damage to roof structures such as antennas, sensors, etc. for aircraft with small fuselage diameters
