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.

In an illustrative embodiment, an aircraft galley ducting assembly provides airflow to at least one compartment of an aircraft galley monument. The ducting assembly may include a supply air duct that provides a supply airflow path to a compartment that includes an inlet port mounted to a compartment surface. A return air duct may provide an exit airflow path for return air that has circulated throughout the compartment and includes an outlet port mounted to the compartment surface. An airflow adjustment apparatus with an airflow adjustment surface is positioned within the supply airflow path of the supply air duct or the exit airflow path of the return air duct to cause a modification of airflow properties for air passing across or through the airflow adjustment surface.

The present invention relates to the field of locks and relates to a latchbolt mechanisms, comprising a rotatable latchbolt (16) and an elastic element (17), wherein the rotatable latchbolt (16) is fixedly mounted on a rotatable pin shaft, round which the rotatable latchbolt rotates, and wherein the elastic element (17) holds the rotatable latchbolt (16) in an extended state. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a latchbolt accommodating mechanism, comprising an accommodating chamber (b1) and a cover plate (b2), wherein a chamber opening of the accommodating chamber is covered by the cover plate, and

wherein a first through hole (b21) and a second through hole (b22) are mounted on the cover plate, wherein the stop block (162) is inserted rotatably into the first through hole (b21) and the rotatable latchbolt (16) is inserted rotatably into the second through hole (b22). Therefore, a rotational unlocking and locking is enabled and is suitable not only for hinged doors, but also for sliding doors. By a rotary movement, actions of door opening and closing are avoided in a usual case.

A latching mechanism is described comprising: a latching component and a retaining component; wherein the latching component comprises means for receiving a hook in use, and a pivoting feature which is configured to allow said latching component to pivot relative to said retaining component.

A refrigerator appliance includes a cabinet forming a receiving space; a door to provide selective access to the receiving space; an icebox at least partially received within the receiving space; an icebox door providing selective access to the icebox; and a latch rotatably coupled to the icebox door to selectively secure the icebox door to the icebox. The latch includes a main body defining a pivot point; a handle attached to the main body; a latch hook spaced apart from the pivot point along the radial direction by a first distance and extending clockwise along the circumferential direction; and a hammer spaced apart from the pivot point along the radial direction opposite the latch hook by a second distance shorter than the first distance, the hammer extending counterclockwise along the circumferential direction.

A door assembly for use in an aircraft providing standard and accessible operating modes. The assembly includes a partition wall movable between a first position and a second position, a sliding door including a first door portion and a second door portion, and a latch mechanism operable to couple the first and second door portions. In a first operating mode of the door assembly, the partition wall is maintained in the first position and the sliding door moves to an open state to form a first opening. In a second operating mode of the door assembly, the partition wall is moved from the first position to the second position and the sliding door moves to an open state to form a second opening different from the first opening.

A vehicle lock is provided for doors with a moving leaf. The vehicle lock includes a strike plate attached to a passive element, to which a bolt attached to the moving leaf is connected. One or more perpendicular spindles, along which the strike plate slides, emerge from the passive element.

Removable covers and methods for covering emergency exit hatches are provided. An exemplary method includes removing the emergency exit enclosure from a hatch in a wall; pushing a removable cover from an interior of the wall into the hatch; and securing the removable cover in the hatch from the interior of the wall.

A locket comprises a connection pin, a lock bracket and a lock rod. A first end of the connection pin is fixed to a first connection. A notch is provided on a sidewall of a second end of the connection pin. The lock bracket is fixed to a second connection. The lock rod is rotatable within the lock bracket between an open position and a closed position. A groove is provided on a sidewall of a first end of the lock rod. The groove of the lock rod accommodates the second end of the connection pin passing through the second connection when the lock rod is open, such that the connection pin is moveable in an axial direction. The first end of the lock rod is accommodated within the notch of the connection pin when the lock rod is closed to prevent the connection pin from moving axially.

A handle and/or locking device for a sliding door of recreational vehicles, in particular a motorhome or caravan, with a grip recess, an actuating element and a mounting plate, wherein the mounting plate is connected to the handle shell in a fixed position relative to the handle shell, wherein the actuating element is pivotably mounted between the handle shell and the mounting plate, and wherein the handle shell has a recess which allows actuation of the actuating element. Furthermore, a sliding door and a recreational vehicle are specified.
