Abstract: A T-divider secures meal carts against lateral movement, and is at least partially deflectable to allow the meal carts to be removed from a restricted environment. The T-divider is secured in linear orientation via a latch with one or more indicators; one indicator indicates if the latch is locked; another indicator indicates if the T-divider is secured. The movement of the T-divider is defined by a track. One or more stops on the track define a linear, secured orientation and a fully deflected orientation.

Abstract: An articulable panel in an aircraft galley includes one or more latches to secure the articulable panel in three dimensions and maintain the structural, load bearing integrity of the overall structure. The latches include color-coded indicators for a quick visual verification that the latches are secured.

Abstract: In a preferred embodiment, a modular galley monument for an aircraft cabin includes a first side panel, a second side panel, and an upper surface connecting the first side panel and the second side panel. The modular galley monument may include dividers partitioning the monument into a number of compartments. The monument may include an upper monument portion and a lower monument portion connected at a periphery via a seal allowing for vertical deflection between the first monument portion and the second monument portion of at least one inch while maintaining contact with both. The monument may include an integrated heating appliance for a compartment, including an insulation shell, a heated compartment positioned within the insulation shell, an electrical heating unit disposed within the insulation shell and configured to provide heat energy to the heated compartment. And a door assembly rotatably connected about an opening of the heated compartment.
