Abstract:
The compression molded aircraft personal service unit and integrated oxygen module housings (22) are formed by compression molding of a sheet or bulk molding material. The integrated oxygen module (20) can be mounted separately in the aircraft, or can be contained in the personal service unit, and includes a container housing (22) having a multiple release main door (30), an oxygen generation cartridge (26) removably disposed in the container housing (22), and an inner mask packing door (122) between the main door (30) and the oxygen masks (28) for aiding in the packing of the oxygen masks (28) in the container (22). In one embodiment, an external test lever is mounted on the main door, and in an alternative embodiment an auxiliary test deployment tool is insertable through an aperture in the main door for retaining the main door (30) in a partially opened test position.

The compression molded aircraft personal service unit and integrated oxygen dispensing system module housings (22) are formed by compression molding of a sheet molding material. The integrated oxygen dispensing system module can be mounted separately in the aircraft, or can be contained in the personal service unit, and includes an oxygen dispensing system module container housing (22) having a multiple release main door (30), an oxygen generator (26) removably disposed in the oxygen dispensing system module container housing (22), and one or more oxygen masks (28). In one embodiment, an external test lever is mounted on the main door (30), and in an alternative embodiment an internal test mechanism is provided that is operated by a test tool insertable through an aperture in the main door. An improved latch testing system and related capability is also provided.
