Abstract:
An aircraft interior door assembly (10, 20, 30) for selectively increasing usable space within an aircraft lavatory (1) adjacent a passenger doorway area (2) of the aircraft or in the passenger doorway area (2) adjacent the lavatory (1) comprises a door element (12, 22, 32) and a door element supporting structure (13, 23, 33). The door element (12, 22, 32) is rotatably mounted to the door element supporting structure (13, 23, 33) so as to be at least rotatable between first and second closed positions relative to the door element supporting structure (13, 23, 33). The door element (12, 22, 32) has the same configuration in both of its closed positions. A door rotation space which is encompassed by the door element (12, 22, 32) when positioned in its first and second closed positions or rotated through by the door element (12, 22, 32) when rotated between its first and second closed positions is part of the aircraft lavatory interior space, when the door element (12, 22, 32) is in its first closed position, and is part of the passenger doorway area (2), when the door element (12, 22, 32) is in its second closed position.
