摘要:
A locking assembly for a galley container includes: a picklock arranged on a first galley container part, a locking mechanism arranged on a second galley container part for engaging the picklock, the first and second galley container parts being moveable towards and away from each other to close and open the galley container, the locking mechanism being moveable between a release position, wherein the picklock is released from the locking mechanism, and a lock position wherein the locking mechanism can engage the picklock to lock the first container part to the second container part, characterized in that a blocking element is provided that in a block position prevents the locking mechanism from moving to the lock position and in an unblock position allows the locking mechanism to move to the lock position. A galley container provided with such a locking assembly is also described.

Disclosed are crew rests that may be powered by the outputs of a fuel cell system or other suitable power source. For example, but not limited to, a combination of the water, oxygen-depleted air, thermal energy and/or electrical energy generated by the fuel cell system may be used to supply the crew rest with its various power and water needs, helping to make the crew rest autonomous from the aircraft's main power systems.
摘要:
A device for accommodating objects, in particular for use in an airplane, comprises at least one panel. The panel has at least one outer edge which is provided with a rim in order to form a shock-absorbing edge. The rim comprises plastic that is integrally molded onto the outer edge of the panel. The device can be an airplane trolley, folding trolley, container or galley.

Embodiments of the present invention provide improved layouts that can increase space on-board aircraft and other passenger transport vehicles. The improved layouts include two galley sections (16, 18) installed on an aircraft having a centerline and curved outer sidewalls (28, 34). The first galley section (16) can be positioned so that its longitudinal axis generally aligns with one of the outer sidewalls (28, 34) of the aircraft, and the second galley section (18) can be positioned so that its longitudinal axis generally aligns with the longitudinal axis of the first galley (16). This can create a space along a rear side of the second galley section (18). The created space may be used for any number of options.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a laminated glass surface (12) for an aircraft or other passenger transportation vehicle surface. Specific features may include a glass substrate (18) that is associated with an adhesive layer (20) to form a laminated glass (12). The glass substrate may be an ultrathin glass substrate and/or a strengthened glass substrate. The laminated glass may then be secured to an aircraft surface.
摘要:
Embodiments of the present invention relate generally to improved cooling systems and methods for use on aircraft trolleys (12) and compartments. The systems use absorptive cooling with thermal conductive plates (18) strategically positioned in order to keep trolleys (12) and their contents cooled.
摘要:
A trolley (10) configured to be convertible between meal/beverage service and waste collection service, the trolley (10) comprising: at least one dry ice compartment defined by a top flap (24a) and a dry ice compartment base (22), a waste ring (28) defined by an outer rim (30) and the dry ice compartment base (22), the outer rim (30) and the dry ice compartment base (22) being hingedly cooperable such when the waste ring (28) is extended from the trolley (10) and the dry ice compartment base (22) is hinged away from the outer rim (30), an opening (36) is defined by the outer rim (30) configured to support a waste bag, wherein when the top flap (24a) is opened, a trash opening (36) is defined in an upper portion of the trolley.
摘要:
Autonomous trolleys include an integrated power source, which energy can be utilized for integrated trolley systems such as a wheel assist module, heating module, and cooling module. The power source may include a fuel cell system or a rechargeable electrical energy storage device or a combination thereof. The rechargeable electrical energy storage device can be charged by any other power source, including a fuel cell system. The trolley can also be equipped with a fuel tank for easy and safe refueling of a fuel cell system.
