Patent ID: 7621275

Claim:
A cover assembly for a mask container for arrangement in a supply channel in a ceiling region of an aircraft having a longitudinal axis, wherein the mask container has an opening, and wherein the cover assembly comprises: a first cover and a second cover; wherein the first cover has a first pivot axis which is essentially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the aircraft wherein the longitudinal axis extends from a front area of the aircraft to a rear area of the aircraft; multiple guiding devices, wherein each guiding device guides a single tube connecting the oxygen mask with an oxygen system of the aircraft, wherein the guiding device is mounted on an inner surface of the first cover at an edge region of the first cover opposite the first pivot axis; wherein the first cover and the second cover, respectively, are arrangeable in a closed state, in which the first and second covers close the opening of the mask container; wherein the first cover and the second cover, respectively, are arrangeable in an opened state, in which the first and second covers uncover the opening of the mask container; wherein in the opened state, a first and second opening angle between the first and second covers and a horizontal, respectively, is greater than 90°; wherein the first cover is arranged to move the guiding device from the area of the mask container in a lateral direction with respect to the longitudinal axis of the aircraft when the first cover opens, so that for a passenger sitting next to the mask container an access to the oxygen masks is simplified.
