Abstract

A self-bonding coupling assembly includes first and second portions operably connected by a hinge at a first end. The hinge preferably includes first and second hinge mechanisms that operate independently of one another. The coupling assembly also includes a fastening mechanism that releasably fastens the first coupling portion to the second coupling portion at a second end. The fastening mechanism uses extended portions provided on the first and second coupling portions to fasten the first and second coupling portions. The fastening mechanism includes first and second locking mechanisms. The first and second locking mechanisms include a latch that fastens the first and second coupling portions. The coupling assembly may also include a bonding mechanism and an indicator latch.

Abstract

A system and method of disinfecting and sanitizing potable water on an aircraft. An ozone generator generates a supply of ozone which is fed into an injector. A pump is connected to a water supply line and an end of an injector. Water flows from the water supply line through the pump and into the injector where the water and the supply of ozone mix to disinfect the water.
