  • Patent number: 11103099
    Abstract: A beverage dispensing machine designed for aircraft use has compact dimensions, is low-weight and satisfies the safety requirements and standards applicable in that sector. The beverage dispensing machine can dispense both large quantities of a beverage, such as 1.6 liters of American coffee or tea, inside a jug positioned inside an appropriate seat, and smaller quantities of hot water (typically 150 ml), which can be used to prepare beverages, via a nozzle situated on the outside thereof. In one embodiment, the beverage dispensing machine includes a bottom jug retention system having a locking lever hinged on spiral seats to keep the jug stationary during the dispensing of the beverage.

  • Patent number: 11103100
    Abstract: A beverage dispensing machine provided with a cappuccino maker includes a heater, a jug provided with a lid having a hole, and a pipe, operated by an actuator, which moves the pipe perpendicularly with respect to the jug so that, during operation of the heater, the pipe emits steam into the jug, at the same time locking the jug inside its seat. The pipe is operated with a mechanism sliding upwards and downwards inside guides and is provided with a flexible connection piece for connection to the heater.

  • Publication number: 20160052231
    Abstract: The present invention relates a double-latch closing system which may be advantageously applied to aeronautical devices such as trolleys, ovens, waste compactors, galley inserts and standard units. It comprises a pair of tongues (33, 37), each operationally connected to a handle (16a, 17a). One handle (17a) is provided with a locking and safety means (17?a) which acts on the other handle (16a). Particularly preferred is the use of said closing system for aviation trolleys made with ultralight composite panels having superior mechanical properties as regards aeronautical standards. The panels may be advantageously used to construct food and beverage trolleys to be used in the aviation sector.

  • Patent number: 9221600
    Abstract: An electromechanical, modular, single-column, trash compactor with a particularly small size and low weight. In particular, a trash compaction device which can be used on-board aircraft, trains, ships and/or for civil applications and generally in all the locations and/or modes of transportation where the auxiliary service equipment must occupy as little space as possible. The compaction device is formed by a system of hollow telescopic screws (5,6), for example of the recirculating ball type, operated by a motor (2) housed inside the said screws (5,6). The compactor may be conveniently installed in compartments, which are fixed or movable on wheels, such as a trolley, so as to allow easy displacement within the mode of transportation and insertion within the appropriate working spaces.
