    Abstract: A lock mechanism with state indication function includes a housing, a cap and an indicator. The indicator includes active and passive indicators arranged circumferentially around a central axis. The active indicator includes a cam matching surface extending circumferentially around the central axis and a stopping end located at an end of the cam matching surface corresponding to the pivoting center of the active indicator. The radial convex portion slides along the cam matching surface to make the active indicator rotate away from the central axis. The radial convex portion pushes the stopping end of the active indicator to make the active indicator rotate to a recovery position in which the indicating portion is covered by the cap. The passive indicator is in linkage connection with the active indicator through a gear transmission device, making the passive indicator be unfolded and folded synchronously along with the active indicator.

    Abstract: An aircraft seat module having a flight passenger seating area has a door unit which in at least one operating state is configured at least to close a passage region to the flight passenger seating area, and has a locking device for the door unit, which is configured to lock the door unit in an open position, in particular a maximally open stowage position, and to this end comprises at least one actuator device which has at least two movably supported locking elements, which are in each case adjustable between a locking position and an unlocking position,
    wherein that the locking device has a locking state indication unit which at least in the maximally open position of the door unit is configured to detect and indicate incomplete locking of at least one of the two locking elements.

    Abstract: Aspects relate to a door device configured to open, close, lock, and unlock a door in a hands-free nature, designed to allow a user to enter and leave a single-user restroom without needing to touch the door handle and/or lock with their hand. The door device includes a latch which interfaces with a strike plate, the latch shaped with two angled surfaces which allow a door to be opened and closed. The door device also includes an interior handle extending outward from an interior side of the door, the interior handle able to lock the door by abutting the latch to fix the latch in place, the interior handle designed to lock the door with a linear directional movement and to unlock the door with an opposite linear directional movement. The door device further includes a back cover extending outwardly from an exterior side of the door, the back cover including a status indicator which provides an indication of whether the door is in a locked state.

    Abstract: A locking assembly of a lavatory door in an aircraft, comprising: a locking mechanism; and an occupancy indicator. The occupancy indicator is configured with a display that enables viewing of a status of the lavatory of availability or is occupancy. The position of the locking mechanism and occupancy indicator has been changed from a higher location on the lavatory door that approximates a line-of-sight from a standing position at the lavatory door to a lower location that approximates the line-of-sight from a seated position at the lavatory door. The display of the occupancy indicator is configured with a plurality of display angles to display the status comprising at least a first display angle to allow viewing from the line-of-sight in the standing position and at a second display angle to allow viewing from the line-of-sight in a seated lower position at the lavatory door.
