Abstract

Hinges, in particular in doors of aircraft, have poor aerodynamics. According to one embodiment of the present invention, a covering device for a hinge of an aircraft is provided with a flexible covering (4), which for example is stretched, with a closed hinge, over the outer contour of the hinge.
Advantageously, this makes possibly the covering of openings between first (1) and second hinge parts (2), whereby an improved aerodynamic can be achieved.

Claims (13)

1. Covering device for a hinge for an aircraft, wherein the hinge has an outer contour, a first hinge part (1) and a second hinge part (2), wherein the first hinge part (1) is displaceable relative to the second hinge part (2) between a first position and a second position, wherein the covering device comprises:
a flexible covering (4);
wherein the flexible covering (4) comprises a first region and a second region;
wherein the first region is mountable on the first hinge part (1);
wherein the second region is mountable on the second hinge part (2);
wherein the flexible covering (4) in an unstretched condition has a first dimension between the first and second region;
wherein, when the first region is mounted on the first hinge part (1) and the second region is mounted on the second hinge part (2), in the first position of the hinge, a second dimension between the first region and the second region is greater than the first dimension, whereby the flexible covering is stretchable over a sealed region of the outer contour of the hinge.
2. Covering device according claim 1, wherein the flexible covering (4) is a sheet.
3. Covering device according one of the claims 1 to 2, wherein the flexible covering (4) is made from an elastomer material.
4. Covering device according one of the claims 1 to 3, wherein the first region or the second region of the flexible covering (4) comprises a first contour (20), for engagement with a corresponding second contour (22) on the first hinge part (1) or the second hinge part(2);
wherein the first contour (20) is adapted to hold at least a fraction of a tractive force in cooperation with the second contour (22), which tractive force arises from an expansion of the flexible covering (4) when the hinge is in the first position.
5. Covering device according one of the claims 1 to 4, wherein the first region or the second region comprises a thickening (20);
wherein the thickening (20) is formed for engagement of a correspondingly formed constriction (22) formed on the first hinge part or the second part, in order to hold the flexible covering (4) on the first or second hinge part (1, 2).
6. Covering device according one of the claims 1 to 4, wherein the first or second hinge part (1, 2) comprises a projection (8, 10) in a direction away from the flexible covering, wherein the covering device comprises at least one lashing strap (38);
wherein the lashing strap (38) is formed to attach the flexible covering (4) to the projection on the first or second hinge part (1, 2).
7. Hinge for a door of an aircraft, wherein the hinge has an outer contour, wherein the hinge comprises:
a first hinge part (1);
a second hinge part (2);
wherein the first hinge part (1) is displaceable relative to the second hinge part (2) between a first position and a second position;
a flexible covering (4);
wherein the flexible covering (4) comprises a first region and a second region;

wherein the first region is attached to the first hinge part (1);
wherein the second region is attached to the second hinge part (2);
wherein the flexible covering in an unstretched condition has a first dimension between the first and second region;
wherein, in the first position of the hinge, a second dimension between the first region and the second region is greater than the first dimension, whereby the flexible covering can be stretched over a third region of the outer contour of the hinge.
8. Hinge according claim 7, wherein the first region or the second region of the flexible covering (4) has a first contour (20) for engagement with a corresponding second contour (22) on the first hinge part (1) or the second hinge part (2);
wherein the first contour (20) is adapted to hold at least a fraction of a tractive force in cooperation with the second contour (22), which tractive force arises from expansion of the flexible covering (4) when the hinge is in the first position.
9. Hinge according one of the claims 7 or 8, wherein the first region or the second region comprises a thickening (20);
wherein the thickening (20) is formed for engagement with a corresponding constriction (22) formed on the first hinge part (1) or the second hinge part (2), in order to hold the flexible covering (4) on the first or second hinge part (1, 2).
10. Hinge according one of the claims 7 to 9, wherein the first or second hinge part (1, 2) comprises a projection (8, 10) in a direction away from the flexible covering (4);
wherein at least one lashing strap (38) is provided;
wherein the lashing strap (38) is formed for attaching the flexible covering (4) to the projection (38) on the first or second hinge part (1, 2).
11. Hinge according one of the claims 7 to 10, wherein the flexible covering is a sheet.
12. Hinge according of one of the claims 7 to 11, wherein the flexible covering (4) is made from an elastomer material.
13. Hinge according one of the claims 7 to 12, wherein the hinge is part of an aircraft door.
