AIRCRAFT CREW REST STATION FOR A LONG DISTANCE AIRLINE
FLIGHT
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENXION
Field of the Invention:
This invention relates generally to resting and sleeping quarters for an
aircraft crew, and more particularly concerns overhead aircraft crew resting and
sleeping quarters with amenities and emergency equipment, in a space-saving and
wei ght-saving confi guration occupying substanti ally otherwise unused space ab o ard
an aircraft.
Description of Related Art:
Resting or sleeping facilities are commonly provided for the crew
and/or passengers of ships, boats, trucks, buses, and. the like when they are used for
transportation of cargo or passengers over long distances. However, such facilities
have been more uncommon for long distance airline flights, due to aircraft weight
conshaints and limitations of available space aboard aircraft. Bunks for crew
members aboard ship, for example, are typically constructed of heavy metal frames
bolted together to provide a heavy structure inappropriate for aircraft.
One approach to an aircraft crew rest facility is currently available that
provides configurations having 6 or 7 bunks. However, the crew rest facility is
located in the lower lobe cargo bay of the aircraft, and occupies otherwise valuable
cargo space, resulting in a loss of full freight capability for the aircraft. The weight
of the crew rest facility is approximately 2,200 pounds, which further limits the
capacity of the aircraft for carrying cargo or passengers.
It would therefore be desirable to provide an improved configuration
for a crew rest and sleeping station with increased capacity for crew members,
includes all necessary amenities and ernergency equipment to meet the requirements
of flight regulations, and principally occupies an area of the aircraft that is otherwise

generally unused. It would also be desirable to provide a crew rest and sleeping
station that has a space-saving and weight-saving configuration that minimizes the.-"
reduction in capacity of the aircraft for carrying cargo,or passengers. The present
invention meets these needs
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Briefly, and in general terms, the present invention provides for an
improved crew rest station having less weight (typically approximately 1 ,250 pounds),
no loss of cargo space, and more bunk space.
The present invention according provides for an aircraft crew rest
station for a long distance airline flight, the aircraft having a hull with a curved top
portion, a lowered ceiling, and a space therebetween, comprising an overhead crew
rest portion contoured to occupy the space between the'curved top portion of the hull
o.f the aircraft and the lowered ceiling of the aircraft, and an entry vestibule providing
access to the overhead crew rest portion. The overhead crew rest portion includes at
least one bunk portion, and in a preferred embodiment, contains one or more bunk
selected from forward, dt, and side bunk portions. The crew rest station can be
located approximately in the aircraft midsection. In one presently preferred
embodiment, the overhead crew rest portion comprises forward, aft, and side bunk
portions configured in pross-wise fashion. ln a presently prefened aspect, the
vestibule also provides a lavatory area, as well as a closet space.
These and other aspects and advantages of the invention will become
apparent from the following detailed description and the accompanying drawings,
whicb illustrate by way of example the features of the invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
Due to weight and space consffaints for aircraft, crew resting or
sleeping quarters in aircraft used for transportation ofoargo or passengers over long
distances need to provide all the necessary amenities and emergency equipment to
meet the requirements of flight regulations with a minimum occupation of otherwise
useful space, and with a minimum of weight, in order to minimize any reduction in
capacity of the aircraft for carrying cargo or passengers by providing such a crew rest
station.
As is illushated in the drawings, the invention is embodied in an
improved crew rest station for an aircraft used for long distance flights, such as the
Boeing 777. Refering to Figs. 1-3 and 8, in a presently preferred embodiment, an
aircraft 30, such as the Boeing 777 for example, is advantageously provided with a
crew rest station 32 located approximately in the aircraft midsection 34, adjacent door
number three 3 6. The crew rest station includes an overhead crew rest portion 3 8 with
fonvard and aft bunk portions 40 and side bunk portions 42 configured in cross-wise
fashion and contoured to occupy a particular location, as for example, against the
curved top portion of the hull 43 of the aircraft to fit in the space between the hull and
the lowered ceiling ofthe aircraft, as illustrated in Fig. 6 anci further explained below.
Access to the crew rest is also preferably provided through an entry vestibule 44
adjacent to forward restrooms 46, and can advantageously replace a lavatory in the
center cabin area just aft of the cross aisle at door number three. In a presently

preferred embodiment, the crew rest provides eight bunks that thus can sleep up to
eight pqople in an area of the aircraft that would otherwise be unused. This results in
very low intrusion into normally otherwise occupied spaeo such as the cargo bay and
the main deck seating area. The crew rest station preferibly includes sufficient space
to provide all the amenities and emergency equipment that would be necessary to
satisfy the flight regulations.
Referring to Fig. 4, i presently preferred embodiment, the overhead^\^I a

SUBJECT:
I\4r. Guy Benon, Comtnercial proposal.Only
8747400M Door 4 Crew Rest
Dear Jacques:
Flight stmcture.l .F.:-9Sr) is ,pleased to preseat the fouowing firn fixed priceproposal for orrr 747'400 Door 4 Crew Rest. We have endeav#ed f6 ansryer allquestions which were raised at our Augrrst 1 meeting in ArEngtoo. tr"o key items
T" stil open due to difficulties in getting quick "e.poises
fromi{LM. T'hese includ,ethe aircraft down time and -*lio* ;.!;;.e-iy ru"u to p."form their Door 4installations and the availability o{tng-I!,lt ptanoi"g aoct meotauon. I expect thisTtd"{oo .T one or two days and vrill forward to ciy genon ;d yo,11.se6 as soonas I recelve lt.
One item which was not in our mgeting minutes but was briefly discussed was that1 flight test would be required if the smoke detector system in FSI's crew rest isshanged from Cerberus Guinard to some other roppti." rn n "r]r*.o. Because ofthis' FSI would recomnend that you use Cerberus-duinard smoke drt".to", in orderto avoid a flight test. Tl case you feel it is necessary to use a different smoke detectorvendor, we have provided a price quote for the engineering o...r."ry to perforn thischange.
Another item which could affect the smoke detection capability is the installation ofcrrrtains between the bunks. In order to avoid *y..fofiouo" pioblems and thepossible need for a flight test, FSI would rr.o-*.oi tnat yo" aoiii install curtainsplof to FAA approval of the first installation. You may recall m"Go.ire n-.d
"similar concern with the Door 5 Crew Rest on the 7474A0 dr*;; aircnaft. FSI
Petitioner C&D Zodiac, Inc. – Exhibit 1009 - Page 67
Air FranceAugust 3, 1994Page 2
coul-d provide Air France with crrrtain installation provisions so that ..o'tains couldeasily be added at a latbr time. -- -:One last item I wish to mention is that FSI would require 50vo of thetotal recurringcontract price six (6) 191ths priol_!
-d"lio."y of the hrst shipset. Thie is the ;;;payment arangement FSI and KLM had and is necessarSr due to the very large up-front cost of th,e six shipsets worth of naterial.
Please note that or:r technical Statement of Work is based upon FSI Document No.91FS027020, Door 4 Overhead Crew Rest Specification, with change, io
"..g--odateAFA's 8747 combi configuration. _A_copy ortnis docrrm.ent was given to you at ourAugust 1 meeting and will be included in our couriered packagil"t has not beenincluded in our faxed transmission.

overhead crew rest portion is preferably formed ofa fightrveight composite material, such
as fiberglass, for example, and can be molded as a single unit for increased strength, so that
the unit does not need to be bolted together. Alternatively, the overhead crew rest portion
can be formed of modular sections, with aft 5l and fonvard 49 bunk modules that can be
connected together with a central deck module 53, as well as a desired number of side bunk
modules 55, all preferably formed of molded composite material, such as fiberglass. It
should be recognized that a crew rest station of a larger or smaller capacity could also be
provided by simply increasing or reducing the number of side bunks, and that a flight crew
rest station could be provided at other locations in the aircraft as well, such as a forwhrd
flight crew rest station with trvo bunks, for example. The overhead crew rest portion
preferably is accessed by an entry ladder 54 extending up through an entry way 56. It should
be pointed out that the typical hoop frame 58 ofthe aircraft supports and allows for sufficient

REMARKS
By the foregoing Amendment, the specification has been anended to describe
reference numbers shown in the drawings, and particularly in Fig. 4, to conform to the
corresponding amendment of the specification made in the parent application, Serial No.
091649,505.
Claims l-6 were rejected under 35 U.S.C. 102(a) as being anticipated by the
proposed crew rest module of "BOEIN G 7 47cREw REST coMpmruBNr.... " showing
groups of forward and aft bunks, with a side stairway enfiry to a passage connected to the
groups of forward and aft bunks. Claims 1-6 were canceled in the Preliminary Amendment
filed on September 5, 2001 with the present continuation application, and Claims 1-l4were
added. Currently Claims 7-14 should be pending.
A copy ofthe Preliminary Amendment filed September 5,2001 is attached for
the Examiner's immediate reference, along with a copy of the return postcard indicating
receipt of the Preliminary Amendment by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on
September 5, 2001. It is respectfully submitted that the attached copy of the preliminary
Amendment filed September 5, 2001 was filed on September 5, 2001 by Express Mail, as is
indicated by the Express Mail number on the first page of the document, and was received

by the by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Oflice on September 5, 2001, as is indicated on the
copy of the return postcard stamped by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on September
5,2001.
Claim 7 recites, "a central entry way disposed in said overhead crew rest
portion; and a central entry vestibule connected to said passenger seating area and providing
direct access to said cenfral entry way of said overhead crew rest portion." While a
passageway leading to a side stairway entry is disclosed in the 'BOEING 747 CREW REST
COMPARTMENT AND PROPOSALS..." materials, these material do not disclose, teach
or suggest a cenfral entry way disposed in the overhead crew rest portion with a central entry
vestibule connected to the passenger seating area and providing direct access to a central
entry way. It is therefore respectfully submitted that Claims 7-18 are novel and inventive
over the "BOEING 747 CREW REST COMPARTMENT. ... " reference, and that the rej ection
of Claims 7-L4 onthe grounds of anticipation on this basis should be withdrawn.

'overhead crew rest portion is preferably formed of'a lightrreight composite material, such

This is in reply to the office Action dated May 24,2002, setting a
shortened statutory period for the filing of a response of three oonths.
Claims 7-14 were rejected under 35 U.S.C. 102(a) on the grounds of
anticipation by the proposed crew rest module of "BOEING 747 CREW REST
244264.1
Petitioner C&D Zodiac, Inc. – Exhibit 1009 - Page 109
Serial No. 09/947,275
COMPARTMENT...." Claim 7 recites, o'a central entry way diryosed in said overhead
crew rest portion; and a cental entry vestibule connected to said passenger seating area
and providing direct access to said central enhy way of said overhead crew rest portion.,,
While a passageway leading to a side stairway entry is disclosed in the "BOEING 747
CREW REST COMPARTMENT AND PROPOSALS..." materials, these materials do
not disclose, teach or suggest a central entry way disposed in the overhead crew rest
portion with a cenhal entry vestibule connected to the passenger seating arca and,
providing direct access to a central entry way.
The Examiner indicated that "BOEING 747....is central to fore-aft
direction." However, the reference does not teach or disclose a central vestibule, i.e.
located centrally along the fore-aft direction. The Examiner also indicated that the
claims "do not distinguish that the cenfal entry or central vestibule is cenfal in all
directions." Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary 1980, defines "central" as "situated
at, in or near the center." It is respectfully submitted that it is not necessary or desirable
to define the term "cenfial" in the claims as meaning "central in all directions" in order to
distinguish the reference.
In the "KLM" drawing accompanying the "PROPOS AL 92PO72A FOR
DOOR 4 OVERHEAD CREW REST INSTALLATION ON AIR FRANCE F747
244264.1
Petitioner C&D Zodiac, Inc. – Exhibit 1009 - Page 110
Serial No. 09/947,275
COMBI AIRCRAFT" of the reference cited, an en@ way and vestibule areaarc clearly
not in a central location relative to the crew rest area. It is therefiie respectfully
submitted that this portion of the reference does not disclose either "a central entry way
disposed in said overhead crew rest portion," or "a central entry vestibule connected to
said passenger seating area and providing direct access to said central entry way of said
overhead crew rest portion," as is claimed.
In page T3 of the portion of the reference cited entitled "PROPOSAL
96P174" in section 4.2*CLOSET", the stairway clo.set is indicated as being on the right
side, and in the drawings for this portion of the reference entitled "DOOR 5 CREW
REST INTERIOR VIEW" indicated as looking aft and inboard, the entry way appears to
be central between the fore and aft portions of the crew rest station, but there is no
disclosure of any location of "a cenfral entryvestibule."
It is therefore respectfully submitted that Claims 7-14 arcnovel and
inventive over the "BOEING 747 CREW REST COMPARTMENT...." reference, and
that the rejection of Claims 7-14 onthe grounds of anticipation by this reference should
be withdrawn.

Notice of Possible Fee Increase on October 1,2002
If a reply to a "Notice of Allowance and Fee(s) Due" is filed in the Office on or after October l,2}02,then theamgunt due may be higher than that set forth in the "Notice of Allowance and Fee(s) Due" since there may be an increasein fees effective on October l, 2002. SgE Revision qf Patent ggl Trademark nEes for Fiscal !94g jOOg: Notice gfPronosed Rulgmaking. 67 Fed. Reg. 30634, 30636 (May 7,2002). Although a change to the amount of the publication feeis not currently proposed for October 2002, if the issue fee or publication fee is to be paid on or after October l, 2002,applicant should check the USPTO web site for the current fees before submitting the payment. The USpTO Internetaddress for the fee schedule is : http : //www.uspto. gov/maintrowtofees.htm.
If the issue fee paid is the amount shown on the "Notice of Allowance and Fee(s) Due," but not the correct amountin view of any fee increase, a "Notice to Pay Balance of Issue Fee" will be mailed to applicant. In order to avoidprocessing delays associated with mailing of a "Notice to Pay Balance of Issue Fee," if the response to the Notice ofA_llow_ance and Fee(s) due form is to be filed on or after October 1,2002 (or mailed with a certificate of mailing on orafter October 1,2002), the issue fee paid should be the fee that is required at the time the fee is paid. If the issue fee waspreviously paid, and the response to the "Notice of Allowance and Fee(s) Due" includes a request to apply apreviously-paid issue fee to the issue fee now due, then the difference between the issue fee amount at the time theresponse is filed and the previously paid issue fee should be paid. See Manual of Patent Examining Procedure, Section1308.01 (Eighth Edition, August 2001).
Questions relating to issue and publication fee payments should be directed to the Customer Service Centerof the Office of Patent Publication at(703\ 305-8283.
