Abstract: In an example, a seating system includes a seat comprising a chamber, a wall structure adjacent to the seat and defining a compartment, a door insert configured to move within the compartment between a starting position and a retracted position, wherein in the starting position, the door is adjacent to the seat and blocks access to the compartment, and in the retracted position, the door is retracted into the wall structure and provides access to the compartment, a closed channel extending from the chamber and operably connected to the door, and a piston operably coupled to the seat and positioned within the chamber, wherein when a load is applied to the seat, the piston is compressed, moving the door from the starting position to the retracted position, and when the load is removed, the piston is decompressed, causing the door to move from the retracted position to the starting position.

Abstract: A galley cart carbonated beer dispensing system employs a housing defining a cavity. A door is coupled to the housing and configured to be moved between a closed position and an open position. A keg is received in the cavity and a carbonation cylinder is received in the cavity and connected to the keg. A spigot is supported on a dispensing tower extending from a top of the housing and connected to the keg. The dispensing tower is retractable into the cavity.

Abstract: A retractable placard system for galley cart storage bays is provided. The placard system includes an outer plate and a placard. The outer plate is mounted with a hinge to a surface of a cart storage bay and is adapted to depend substantially vertically from the surface in a first position and to rotate in a first direction upon contact by a first edge of a half size cart. The placard is mounted to the outer plate. The placard is visible in the bay with the outer plate in the first position and retracted with the outer plate rotated in the first direction to a second position.
