A refrigerated food preparation table includes a housing defining both (i) an upper food preparation holding area with food pan receiving locations and (ii) a food compartment. A cooling system includes a cooling air flow path with a first region for delivering cooling air at least one of below or alongside food pans in the upper food preparation holding area and a second region, downstream of the first region, for delivering at least a portion of the cooling air into the food compartment after the portion of the cooling air has passed below or alongside food pans in the upper food preparation holding area. The cooling air flow path includes a third region, upstream of the first region, and an openable/closeable path portion into the food compartment from the third region for selective delivery of at least some cooling air from the third region into the food compartment.

The present invention relates to a beverage serving trolley comprising a supporting structure, at least one wheel, a presentation basket comprising a basket handle and being configured to receive beverage bottles and ice cubes, and an outer housing, wherein the outer housing includes at least one first side panel and at least one edge profile that cover at least in part at least one side and at least one vertical edge, respectively, of the beverage serving trolley, wherein both the at least one first side panel and the at least one edge profile have the same vertical extension and are mounted to the beverage serving trolley in a way that adjacent first side panels and edge profiles are connected flush with each other at their respective vertical edges with a distance, thus forming a vertical gap of a predetermined width between each other.

A thermally insulated container for storing and serving frozen confectionery items, wherein the container is preferably arranged to be removably mounted within a service cart, such as an inflight service cart.

The present application discloses a coupler with upper and lower couplings, a functional module, a cart body and a dining cart. The coupler includes an upper coupling arranged on a functional module and a lower coupling arranged on a cart body. The upper coupling is provided with pins and a first limiting structure arranged around the periphery of the pins, the lower coupling is provided with jacks and a second limiting structure adapted to the first limiting structure, and during coupling, the pins are inserted into the jacks, and the first limiting structure is clamped in the second limiting structure to form locking to restrict the upper coupling from moving.

A storage tank trolley for an aircraft cabin, including a tank configured to store a fluid; a temperature regulating device; a power interface; and a fluid transfer interface. The temperature regulating device is connected to the power interface for providing electric power from a source to the temperature regulating device for generating thermal energy by the temperature regulating device. The temperature regulating device is configured to supply the generated thermal energy to the tank for temperature treatment to maintain or actively change a temperature of a fluid inside the tank. The fluid transfer interface is connected to the tank and configured to be couplable with a fluid transfer interface of a dispensing trolley. A docking system, an aircraft galley arrangement, an aircraft and a method for operating a storage tank trolley are also provided.

A retainer for retaining an aircraft galley container trolley in an aircraft galley compartment is described herein. The aircraft galley compartment has a hollow interior and is configured to receive the aircraft galley container trolley in the hollow interior. The retainer comprises a first section configured to be attached to an interior surface of the hollow interior of the aircraft galley compartment, and a second section comprising an elongated shaft extending between from a first end at the first section and a second end, and comprising a rotatable knob at the second end of the elongated shaft. The first section comprises a rotatable turn handle, connected to the first end of the shaft and the shaft has a central axis and the rotatable locking means is configured to rotate about the central axis due to rotation of the knob.

A system for supporting and handling one or more objects including a cart having a front (F) and a rear (R), and a furniture. The cart can be extracted along an extraction and insertion axis (X) in the direction from the front (F) towards the rear (R), from the furniture and can be inserted along the extraction and insertion axis (X) in the direction from the rear (R) towards the front (F), in the furniture. The cart comprises a frame, movement means of the frame, operatively connected to the latter in a movable or rotatable manner, which define, when the cart is inserted or partially inserted, a rest operating position (RP) in which they do not support and/or are not able to move the frame and, when the cart is extracted, at least one working operating position (WP) in which they support and/or are able to move the frame.

A folding tray cart and method for same, the folding tray cart comprises a collapsible framework pivotally supporting one or more sets of split shelves, each split shelf comprises a pair of half shelves, the folding tray cart moves between an first open operating position with the respective sets of split shelves being held in spaced-apart, stacked, horizontal orientation within the collapsible framework and a second closed, vertical orientation where the collapsible framework is collapsed in manner that places each half shelf pair into an inverted V shape configuration; wherein inner edges of the half shelf pairs are made from soft resilient compressible material so that if a portion of a cart operator's body is caught between a closing gap formed between the inner edges, the inner edges will temporarily deform in a manner to prevent injury to the portion.

A storage device includes an insulated interior volume with a set of horizontal and vertical grooves on the interior walls, along with at least one top door and at least one side door, to collectively provide a three-dimensionally reconfigurable interior space for storage of various food items, along with ice or other cooling agents.
