Abstract: A vehicle galley compartment retention assembly, a retaining handle assembly, and mounting block. The handle assembly having a shaft comprising a first shaft detent feature, and a retaining handle. The retaining handle being fixed relative to the shaft such that the shaft rotates when the retaining handle is rotated. The mounting block having a cavity, and a cavity detent feature on the inner surface of the cavity. The shaft being configured to be inserted into the cavity, and to be rotatable within the cavity, and the shaft detent feature and the cavity detent feature interacting with each other to hold the retaining handle in a first angular position when rotationally aligned. This arrangement moves part of the complex detent mechanism away from the retaining handle.

Abstract: A composite panel comprising a first panel skin, a second panel skin and a core arranged between the first panel skin and the second panel skin. The composite panel having a threaded insert for receiving a fastener, the threaded insert arranged within a cavity of the core of the composite panel.

Abstract: A trolley retainer for an aircraft galley, the aircraft galley comprising an aircraft galley structure and a trolley, the trolley retainer comprising: a retainer connector configured to connect the trolley retainer to the aircraft galley structure; a front portion configured to extend across a front of the trolley to retain the trolley in the aircraft galley when the trolley retainer is in a retaining position; and a side portion configured to extend from the retainer connector to the front portion across a side of the trolley when the trolley retainer is in the retaining position.

Abstract: A system for cooling an aircraft galley trolley. The system includes a trolley cooling compartment for stowing an aircraft galley trolley; and a heat exchanger to provide cold air to the trolley cooling compartment. The trolley cooling compartment defines an inlet proximal to the base of the trolley cooling compartment for receiving the cold air. The trolley cooling compartment cools the aircraft galley trolley through the transfer of heat to the cold air. The transfer of heat to the cold air heats the cold air to produce warmer air.

Abstract: There is provided herein an aircraft galley insert including a beverage making apparatus configured to dispense beverage singularly and independently, wherein the aircraft galley insert is sized to fit within a standard envelope size, so as to be interchangeable with alternative galley inserts.

Abstract: A retainer suitable for use on an aircraft is disclosed. The retainer comprises a first retainer part and a second retainer part. The first retainer part comprises a catch and a damper; in which the catch comprises one or more magnetic elements. The damper comprises a damping material, the damping material damps shock impulses; and the catch is supported on the damper.

Abstract: A stair closure mechanism is disclosed. In embodiments, the stair closure mechanism is attached to and deploys in concert with a door separating an overhead crew rest compartment and access stairway from the main cabin. As the door is closed, a closure panel mechanically pivots with the closing of the door into a horizontal deployed position. When in the deployed position, the closure panel conforms to the floor of the overhead compartment, securely blocking the free space between the stairway and the floor from persons in the overhead compartment who might otherwise step or stumble thereinto.

Abstract: 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.
