  • Patent number: 8814087
    Abstract: An interface system for use in an aircraft galley includes a first connection element. The first connection element can be connected via a first appliance connection apparatus to an internal electrical system, an internal fresh water supply system, and an internal wastewater disposal system of a first galley appliance, and can be connected via a second appliance connection apparatus to an internal electrical system, an internal fresh water supply system, and an internal wastewater disposal system of a second galley appliance. Further, the first connection element can be connected via an aircraft galley connection apparatus to a complementary aircraft galley connection apparatus of a second connection element of the interface system. The second connection element can be fixed in a compartment in the aircraft galley, so as to connect the first connection element to an electrical system, a freshwater supply system and a wastewater disposal system.

  • Patent number: 8468933
    Abstract: A galley drink preparation device (252) for the preparation of drinks on board an aircraft comprises a water supply device (360, 364) and at least one pot (10). In the pot (10) there is provided an inlet opening (40) for supplying water from the water supply device (360, 364) into the pot (10). Furthermore, the pot (10) has a receiving region (12) for receiving the drink to be prepared in the galley drink preparation device (252). Additionally present in the pot (10) is a holding device (22) which is arranged, in relation to a flow direction of the water supplied to the pot (10) by the water supply device (360, 364), downstream of the inlet opening (40) and is adapted to receive a coffee pad (32).

  • Patent number: 8011536
    Abstract: A dispenser of cooled or heated liquid which in one embodiment is a server cart for an aircraft. To avoid the need for a pump, the reservoir has a cooling or heating heat exchanger that helically coils around the main reservoir, which cools from the top down or heats from the bottom up, forming a counter current. The reservoir is connected to at least two conduits, one near the cooler top of the reservoir and one near the relatively warmer bottom of the reservoir. The two conduits connect to one another at a distance from the reservoir forming a dispensing passage, thereby allowing fluid to constantly circulate through the dispensing passage due to difference in the specific gravity in the fluid caused by the temperature difference. The elimination of the pump device is especially desirable for weight sensitive environments such as an aircraft.
