The invention also provides for the use of a flat sheet of cardboard, pre-cut in a structured manner, to form a cabinet in a single piece when folded and assembled, preferably of parallelepipedal shape, the sheet of cardboard having a thickness of 6 mm to 10 mm, and a method of manufacturing a cabinet comprising the provision of such a sheet of cardboard, to form a cabinet.

A compact, mobile serving cart for efficient preparation and service of cocktails, beverages, food, and/or other items to be served configured for service in a mobile, serve on the go configuration or service in a compact, stationary service configuration. The mobile serving cart includes a frame, side panels, wheels, and a user handle for pushing and maneuvering the cart. The mobile serving cart further includes a cooler assembly; a designated work tray space; a garnish and tool holder assembly; and driver-side drawers openable toward a user and configured for housing various ingredients, service tools, glassware, and other objects desirable for service of beverages, food, etc. In an exemplary embodiment, the mobile serving cart further includes removable caddies and mountable service accessories for smooth transition from service on the go to a compact, stationary, full-service bar.

A thermal cart for in-flight distribution of consumables. An enclosure is formed by thermally insulating material, including a first side panel, a second side panel, a top panel, a bottom panel, at least one door frame, and a door in each at least one door frame. A rear panel is provided in half-size carts where only one door frame and door are provided. Full size carts ae provided where a rear door frame and rear door are provided instead of a rear panel as used in the half-size cart. The thermally insulating material may include a thermoplastic inner lining, at least one vacuum insulated panel, and an outer structural panel. A plurality of rods is provided, each having end of rod tooling. Complementary tooled structures such as binding barrels, or sleeves, or threaded holes, are provided for joining with ends of the rods. Joints may be provided and secured to locate and provide resistance for securing the rods in tension. Frame assembly extrusions may join adjacent panels, and an inner elastomeric extrusion is provided with each frame assembly extrusion, to provide a seal with the thermoplastic inner lining.

An aircraft cart retention system may include at least one aircraft cart retention device. The at least one aircraft cart retention device may be configured to retain an aircraft cart in a position proximate to an exterior surface of the structure with at least two combined points of contact during non-taxi, takeoff, or landing (non-TTL) stages of flight when the at least one aircraft cart retention device is in at least one deployed position. The at least one aircraft cart retention device may be configured to allow the aircraft cart to be removed from the position proximate to the exterior surface of the structure when the at least one aircraft cart retention device is in the stowed position.

A galley cart assembly that includes a cart and a wheel assembly attached to the cart. The wheel assembly includes a plurality of wheels and a drive assembly configured to drive one or more of the plurality of wheels to propel the cart. The wheel assembly also includes a primary brake assembly to lock one or more of the plurality of wheels to prevent movement of the cart. Furthermore, the galley cart assembly includes a controller coupled to the cart and including a processor and a memory. The controller includes a turbulence monitoring system configured to detect a turbulence event. The controller is in communication with the wheel assembly, and is configured to automatically operate the primary brake assembly to lock the cart in position when the turbulence monitoring system detects the turbulence event. In certain configurations, an aircraft includes the galley cart assembly.

A mobile refreshment cart includes an open refreshment chamber exposed to an environment surrounding the refreshment cart and configured to receive refreshment containers therein. The mobile refreshment cart also includes a thermally conductive plate having a first surface facing the open refreshment chamber, and having a second surface opposite to the first surface. The mobile refreshment cart also includes a thermoelectric cooler coupled to, and directly contacting, the second surface of the thermally conductive plate. The thermoelectric cooler is configured to extract heat from the thermally conductive plate through the second surface of the thermally conductive plate. The refreshment cart also includes a fan configured to urge an air flow over a portion of the thermoelectric cooler and to the environment, such that the air flow extracts the heat from the thermoelectric cooler and expels the heat to the environment.

A dish cart includes a top with a slot for receiving a lift arm that may be lifted up through the slot to raise or lower dishes. Lobe openings emanating from the slot receive lobes of a lift paddle secured to the lift arm. The cart may define a gap below the top for permitting insertion of the lift paddle and the lift arm. The cart may be adjusted to receive differently sized dishes by means of rails of different sizes or adjustable vanes. A dish drop station includes the lift arm and lift paddle and a lift mechanism for raising and lower the lift arm. The dish drop station may include a cart present sensor and include a lock for retaining the cart. The controller may be programmed to the lower the lift arm to an unlock position that disengages the cart lock.

A service trolley for dispensing beverages includes a frame having an upper end opposite a lower end, and a tabletop arranged on the upper end of the frame. The trolley further includes wheels arranged on the lower end of the frame configured to allow the frame to roll on a surface. The trolley includes a beverage dispenser arranged within the frame that includes a multi-serve beverage container for storing a beverage, a dispensing head in communication with the beverage container via a conduit, and a pressurized vessel configured to contain a pressurized gas in communication with the beverage container so as to drive a flow of the beverage from the beverage container to the dispensing head.
