    摘要: A latch indicator system for a trolley bay is disclosed. The system includes a door that includes a latch indicator window. The system further includes an indicator assembly coupled to the door configured to contact a turnbutton then the door is closed and indicate a latched state or an unlatched state of the turnbutton. The indicator assembly includes a latch signal configured to be visible through the latch indicator window when the turnbutton is in the latched state. The indicator assembly further includes an unlatch signal configured to be visible through the latch indicator window when the turnbutton is in the unlatched state. The system further includes a wedge coupled to the flag assembly configured to contact the turnbutton when the turnbutton is in the unlatched state, where upon contact, the flag assembly is translated so that the unlatch signal is visible through the latch indicator window.

    摘要: A galley structure for an aircraft cabin includes double-depth cart bays capable of stowing an outer full-size cart in front of an inner fell-size cart. An extraction and retention (E&R) system is mounted to a sidewall of the double-depth cart bay and includes a stowable retainer arm and fixed extractor arm coupled to and articulable via an extraction handle that may be pulled or pushed out of or toward the cart bay. When the outer cart is removed, the inner cart can be brought forward for extraction via the extractor arm (the inner cart extractable once the retainer arm is stowed) and returned to its inner stowed position via the retainer arm (in both cases, by pulling or pushing the extraction handle). The extraction handle includes a retainer actuator for stowing or deploying the retainer arm as needed.
