ABSTRACT:
Decompression panels of this type are used in separation devices such as wall or floor sections which separate a passenger compartment from a freight compartment in an aircraft. For a decompression without damage to the respective wall or floor section, it is necessary to cover or close an opening in the wall or floor section by a panel secured to a rim of the opening by frangible mounting elements that break away in response to a decompression which may be of the blow-in or blow-out type. In a blow-in situation one panel is removed to form an opening. Two panels interconnected with each other are removed in a blow-out situation. In both instances frangible mounting elements break and permit opening a decompression hole in the separation device. All the frangible mounting elements are of identical construction. The arrangement of the frangible mounting elements on one side or on the opposite side of a panel section permits the panel release in the respective direction.
