Anti-terrorism / anti-personnel mobile commercial passenger aircraft physical flight deck / cockpit secondary barrier galley cart / aircraft secondary barrier cart ((ASBC)
The Aircraft Secondary Barrier Cart includes a main housing, with at least two retractable cables with metallic safety-hooks at the ends that connect to the two female loops behind each bulk-head. When deployed, the two cables hold the barrier cart in place. The two retractable cables are connected to a ratcheting system to stabilize and strengthen the barrier cart's stability after deployment. The ratcheting system includes a release lever to disengage the two main-housing cables before stowage. The barrier cart includes a folding-barrier with elastic and polymer safety-hooks sewn in. When the curtain or net gets expanded, its safety-hooks attach to several female loops riveted into the upper portion of the forward galley entrance.
