[0026] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the figures, but the present invention is not limited to these references. In particular, the figures or drawings described below are merely illustrative and not limiting in any way.

[0027] The present invention relates to a trolley for accommodating objects and used on a passenger transportation vehicle. The trolley includes an internal space adapted to receive trays or drawers. The trolley also includes side plates and a top plate, the side plates defining the sides of the internal space, the top plate being flat and defining the top of the internal space of the trolley and the top of the external volume. On the side plates, the internal space is provided with more than fourteen slide positions, the slide positions defining a space for receiving more than fourteen trays and / or drawers. In order to accommodate a larger number of trays and / or drawers in the internal space of the trolley compared to existing trolleys, the flat nature of the top plate defining the internal volume and the external volume of the trolley increases the volume of the internal space.

[0028] Figure 1Shows a trolley 10 according to the present invention. The trolley 10 can be used in passenger transportation vehicles. The transportation vehicle can be a train or a ship (yacht). In addition, the transportation vehicle can be an aircraft. The advantage of the trolley of the present invention is to meet the needs for kitchen storage space and meal service - especially so on an aircraft. The trolley 10 is provided with an internal space 12 which is adapted to support and receive trays and / or drawers. The trolley 10 is adapted to be stored in a compartment of the transportation vehicle (e.g., a storage compartment of a galley monument). The trolley 10 is detachably fixed in the galley monument. The internal dimensions of the compartment are designed to receive the external volume of the trolley 10 (or the trolley envelope or the outer envelope of the trolley). Generally, due to the lack of space in any transportation vehicle (especially an aircraft), the internal dimensions of the compartment correspond to the external dimensions of the trolley (or the dimensions of the external volume). In addition, there is no extra space around the trolley in the compartment to safely maintain the trolley in place during the journey. Compared with existing trolleys, the trolley 10 can accommodate more drawers while fitting into a conventional compartment - such as a compartment in a galley monument).

[0029] The trolley 10 is adapted to accommodate objects in the internal space 12. The objects include meals, beverages and any items distributed to passengers, including goods sold or distributed to passengers for free. The trolley 10 can be referred to as a catering trolley. Meals and beverages are accommodated on trays (not visible in the figure) and / or in drawers 14 ( Figure 1 visible in the figure). The trolley 10 is capable of accommodating only trays or only drawers; alternatively, the trolley 10 is capable of accommodating both trays and drawers. In the following description, drawers are referred to.

[0030] Figure 2 and Figure 3 Shows perspective views of different trolley embodiments. The trolleys in each figure have different dimensions. Figure 2 Shows a full-size trolley 10, Figure 3 Shows a half-size trolley 10. Both types of trolleys are suitable for accommodating more drawers than existing trolleys and meet the growing needs for kitchen storage space and meal service - especially so on an aircraft. Figure 2 The trolley 10 is adapted to accommodate twice as many drawers 14 as Figure 3 the trolley 10 shown. For this purpose, the trolley 10 is adapted to receive rows of drawers. In Figure 2 the trolley 10 shown, two rows of drawers are provided, and in Figure 3 the trolley 10 shown, one row of drawers is provided. The internal space 12 of the trolley 10 can be accessed from one end (e.g., the front side) and / or both ends (the front side and the rear side). In Figure 2In this case, each column of drawers can be accessed from their respective ends (front and back). In Figure 3 In Figure 3 , a single column of drawers can be accessed from one end (front), but can also be accessed from both ends (front and back). Generally speaking, in accordance with the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, the entrances at both ends (front and back) enable two vehicle attendants (e.g., flight attendants) to access both sides of the trolley simultaneously. The trolley 10 is equipped with wheels 50 for rolling it and a pedal 52 for locking the trolley 10 in place.

[0031] The trolley 10 includes side plates 16 that define the sides of the internal space 12. Laterally, the two side plates 16 define the internal space 12 and the external volume of the trolley 10. In other words, transversely to the operating direction of the drawers 14, the internal space 12 of the trolley and the external volume are defined by the two side plates 16. The trolley 18 also includes a top plate 18. The top plate 18 defines the internal space 12 of the trolley and the external volume. Therefore, the internal dimensions of the compartment for accommodating the trolley 10 are calculated to receive the external volume of the trolley defined by the top plate 18 and the side plates 16.

[0032] The top plate 18 is flat. In other words, the top plate is horizontal and smooth. There is no storage upper compartment in the top structure of the trolley 10. There is no upper compartment that can be accessed from the top of the trolley and occupies the volume of the internal space. The trolley is not equipped with any compartments for other functions (such as dry ice storage or retail functions). By removing certain features from the top of the trolley, the internal space 12 is optimized relative to the external volume of the trolley. Excluding the thickness of the side plates and the top plate, the external volume corresponds to the internal space 12. In other words, due to the flat nature of the top plate 18, the external volume of the plates that define the internal space corresponds to the external volume of the trolley. The external volume of the plates that define the internal space is even the same as the external volume of the trolley. In other words, the internal space 12 corresponds to the height of the trolley (excluding the wheels 50), which optimizes the position of the storage trays and drawers relative to the external volume of the trolley. The only difference is the thickness of the side plates 16 and the top plate 18, and the thickness of these plates is less than 2 centimeters (cm), preferably less than 1.5 cm. This means that the available internal dimensions of the trolley are maximized to accommodate more objects. In the case of use on an aircraft, flight attendants need to use the contents inside the trolley for in-flight service during the flight. Since the space in the galley is already limited, a certain and limited number of contents can be brought on board. By providing more space in the trolley, this can be improved and optimized. The increase in the trolley capacity leads to more efficient distribution of the contents.

[0033] In addition, the internal space 12 may be provided with a plurality of slide positions 20 on the side plates 16. For each slide position 20, one slide position 20 on one side plate 16 faces another slide position 20 on the opposite side plate 16. The slide positions 20 on one side plate 16 and the slide positions 20 on the other side plate 16 together define a pair of slide positions. A pair of slide positions 20 are at the same height on the inner surface of the side plates 16 in the internal space 12. The slide positions 20 enable drawers and trays to be stacked and held in place according to the height of the internal space. In the case of trays, the slide positions 20 maintain the distance between the trays such that objects placed on the trays (e.g., meals and beverages) remain intact. In addition, the slide positions 20 ensure the sliding movement of the drawers 14 or trays during loading and unloading. In Figure 2 this embodiment, the slide positions 20 enable two columns of drawers to be maintained in place and be accessible from each end of the trolley 10. Figure 2 The trolley 10 of the illustrated embodiment is provided with two columns of slide positions 20 on the inner surface of each side plate 16; these slide positions 20 may also be continuous such that there is a single column of slide positions 20 on the inner surface of each side plate 16.

[0034] The trolley 10 is provided with more than fourteen slide positions 20 on each side plate 16. In other words, the trolley 10 is provided with more than fourteen pairs of slide positions 20. Preferably, the trolley 10 is provided with fifteen slide positions 20 on each side plate 16. In other words, the trolley 10 is provided with fifteen pairs of slide positions 20. There may even be more than fifteen slide positions 20 on each side plate 16. Due to the flat nature of the top plate 18, the internal dimensions of the trolley 10 are maximized such that more than fourteen slide positions can be used, preferably the fifteenth slide position on the side plate 16, in contrast to current trolleys having a top configuration that only allows fourteen slide positions on each side plate. The trolley 10 ensures an increase in capacity of approximately 7%. Thus, due to the flat nature of the top plate 18, there is space for more than fourteen slide positions, for example, the fifteenth slide position is now available on each side plate 16. This responds to the increasing demand for more space in the internal space 12 while not changing the external volume of the trolley to fit existing compartments.

[0035] More specifically, the increase in the number of pairs of slide positions 20 enables an increased number of trays and / or drawers to be accommodated. Preferably, fifteen pairs of slide positions 20 define a space for receiving up to fifteen trays and / or drawers. A greater number of trays and / or drawers are available at one end of the trolley 10. Up to fifteen trays and / or drawers 14 are available at one end of the trolley 10 (regardless of the fact that the trays (and possibly drawers) are accessible from the other end). In Figure 2 and Figure 3In [it], there are more than fourteen trays and / or drawers at both ends (front and rear) or one end (front). In Figure 2 In [it], up to fifteen trays and / or drawers 14 are available at one end (front), and the same number of trays and / or drawers are available at the other end (rear). In Figure 3 In [it], up to fifteen trays and / or drawers 14 are available at one end (front). In Figure 1 In [it], as an example, up to fifteen drawers 14 are depicted. This allows for loading and transporting more objects (e.g., dinner plates and / or beverages). It is also possible to load fewer drawers 14 with a larger height and combine drawers 14 with a larger height and drawers 14 with a smaller height.

[0036] More specifically, these spaces for receiving trays or drawers 14 have a height of 58 mm to 62 mm, preferably 60 mm. The slide position 20 can be positioned at different heights relative to the space. The slide position 20 can be located in the upper or lower part of the space or any intermediate position. As an example, in Figure 1 In [it], the slide position 20 is located in the upper part of the space. More than fourteen drawers (preferably up to fifteen drawers) with a height between 58 mm and 62 mm (or trays with objects up to that height on them) can be loaded into these spaces of the internal space 12. It is also possible to load drawers 14 with a greater height, such as drawers 14 with a height between 116 mm and 124 mm, preferably 120 cm. For example, fourteen 120-cm-high drawers and a fifteenth 60-cm-high drawer can be loaded into one end of the trolley 10. In Figure 2 In the embodiment of [it], an additional fourteen 120-cm-high drawers and an additional fifteenth 60-cm-high drawer can be loaded into the other end of the trolley 10. According to Figure 2 and Figure 3 the purpose of the trolley 10 of [it], any combination of different drawers 14 is possible. In addition, depending on the height of the trays and / or drawers, even more than fifteen trays and / or drawers are possible.

[0037] In Figure 2 and Figure 3 In [it], the trolley 10 includes a door 22 for accessing the internal space 12. The door 22 is located at the end of the trolley 10 (e.g., front). The door 22 allows access to the internal space 12 during the process of loading objects into the trolley 10 and unloading objects from the trolley 10 in the kitchen or during service along a means of transportation. In Figure 2 In [it], one door 22 is visible when in the open position at one end, while the other door 22 is also in the open position but not visible. In Figure 3In [description], door 22 is shown in the closed position. The handle 24 ensures that the door is locked in the closed position. In the open position, door 22 preferably folds backward against side panel 16. This allows the space requirement of the trolley 10 to be restricted during servicing. Also preferably, door 22 is blocked in the open position so as not to interfere with the movement of trolley 10 and access to the internal components 12 during servicing.

[0038] Advantageously, door 22 covers the height of the outer volume of the internal space. The outer volume of trolley 10 and the outer volume of the internal space are the same, and the door covers the height of the outer volume of the internal space and the outer volume of the trolley. This allows access to the entire internal space 12, which is increased relative to current trolleys and maximized relative to the outer volume. The dimensions of door 22 allow access to more than fourteen trays and / or drawers, preferably up to fifteen trays and / or drawers.

[0039] Trolley 10 may include an extruded profile 26 for fixing side panel 16 and top panel 18. Profile 26 allows the two faces of trolley 10 to be fixed. Thus, profile 26 is located between top panel 18 and side panel 16 or the rear panel ( Figure 3 ); profile 26 is also located between side panel 16 and the rear panel ( Figure 3 ). Profile 26 is also located between side panel 16 or top panel 18 and the face occupied by door 22. Advantageously, a part of extruded profile 26 is the same length as the length of the existing trolley 10, which means that no additional spare parts are required. The profile 26 connected to the panel occupied by the door is longer. Profile 26, together with panels 18, 26 and one or more doors 22, defines the outer volume of the trolley. Profile 26 may be slightly higher or larger than the panels so that these panels are nested in profile 26.

[0040] As Figure 2 shown (but also applicable to Figure 3 ), a horizontal divider 28 is located inside trolley 10 to ensure the integrity and resistance of trolley 10. Divider 28 is a standard divider, which means that no additional spare dividers 28 are required. Divider 28 is located, for example, at the middle height of internal space 18.

[0041] Trolley 10 is provided with a handle 30 for manipulating the trolley. Trolley 10 includes at least one handle 30. Figure 3 One handle 30 is depicted in [description] (but the trolley may be provided with two handles 30). Figure 2 Two handles 30 are depicted in [description]. This ensures that the trolley can be manipulated from the front side and / or the rear side. Figure 4 Different positions of handle 30 are shown. Handle 30 can occupy the open position (as shown on the left hand side in Figure 4 ) and can occupy the closed position (as shown in Figure 4as shown on the right - hand side). The handle 30 is movable between an open position and a closed position. This allows for the maneuvering of the trolley 10 while taking into account the external volume of the trolley 10 to fit the trolley into a storage compartment (e.g., a storage compartment in a kitchen structure). In the open position, the handle 30 extends beyond the external volume of the trolley 10, but in this position of the handle 30, the trolley 10 is used along with a vehicle. In the closed position, the handle 30 retracts within the external volume of the trolley 10. For example, the thickness of the handle 30 is similar to the thickness of the top plate 18, so as to enter the external volume of the trolley 10 in the closed position. The trolley 10 can thus be fitted into the compartment. The vehicle attendant moves the handle 30 from one position to another.

[0042] In one embodiment, the handle 30 can be rotatably mounted between an open position and a closed position. The rotational movement is a simple movement using the handle 30. Figure 5 The movement of the handle 30 is shown. The movement according to the arrow 32 brings the handle 30 from the closed position to the open position (and vice versa, from the open position to the closed position). At Figure 5 the left - hand side of, the handle 30 is in the closed position, while at Figure 5 the middle of, the handle rotates towards Figure 5 the open position on the right - hand side of. Figure 5 The profile 27 shown holds the top plate 18 in place. It can be noted that the thickness of the handle 30 is similar to the thickness of the top plate 18 held within the profile 27 on the right - hand side of the profile 27, thus ensuring that the handle 30 is contained within the external volume of the trolley 10 in the closed position.

[0043] The handle 30 can be rotatably mounted about a rotation axis 34. The rotation axis 34 can be embedded within the profile 26. The profile 26 defines a corner of the trolley 10 at the boundary between the top plate 18 and the front (or rear) side of the trolley 10. Thus, once rotated towards the open position, the handle 30 lies outside the external volume of the trolley and is easily grasped by the vehicle attendant to maneuver the trolley 10.

[0044] In another embodiment, the handle 30 can be slidably mounted between an open position and a closed position. The sliding movement (not shown) is a simple movement using the handle 30. The sliding movement ensures that the handle 30 can be easily grasped by the vehicle attendant in the open position, while the handle 30 is contained within the external volume of the trolley 10 in the closed position. In another embodiment, the movement of the handle can be a combination of rotational movement and sliding movement.

[0045] Regardless of the type of movement of the handle 30, the handle 30 can be part of a component 36 that supports the handle 30 and nests with the top plate 18. The component 36 can also include profiles 26, 27, and a rotating shaft 34, if any. The plate 38 holds the profiles 26 and 27 and ensures that the handle 30 is within the outer volume of the trolley when in the closed position. The component 36 facilitates the assembly of the handle 30 to the trolley 10. The component 36 ensures that the handle 30 is assembled as a module to the rest of the trolley 10.

[0046] In addition, regardless of the type of movement of the handle 30, the handle can be locked in the open position and / or the closed position. Locking the handle 30 in the open position ensures that the handle 30 does not inadvertently move back to the closed position when the trolley 10 is moved along the vehicle. Locking the handle 30 in the closed position avoids any noise generated due to vibrations caused by the vehicle. To this end, the handle 30 maintains a stable position in the open position and / or the closed position. In Figure 5 , by way of example, the handle 30 can be provided with a bolt 40. The bolt 40 can cooperate with at least one of the cavities 42, 44 of the component 36 to lock the handle 30 in the open position and / or the closed position. More specifically, the profile 26 of the component 36 can be provided with two cavities 42, 44. A slight sliding movement towards or away from the profile 26 enables the bolt 40 to enter or exit the cavities 42, 44. In the case where the handle 30 is rotatably mounted about the rotating shaft 34, the slight sliding movement of the handle that enables the bolt 40 to enter or exit the cavities 42, 44 is towards the rotating shaft 34. Alternatively, the locking of the handle in the open position as well as in the closed position can be a clip or a bistable elastic device (such as a bistable spring). By reducing the size of the handle 30 and making it a (possibly) lockable flip or slide open and close type handle 30, this ensures that the internal space 12 is maximized to accommodate more drawers and / or trays for a given outer volume of the trolley (or trolley envelope).

[0047] In addition, the side of the trolley can accommodate a fitting 46. The fitting allows carrying additional objects, such as goods for sale or free distribution, or ice. For example, the trolley 10 can include one or more fittings 46 that are detachably suspended from the profile 26 outside the outer volume of the trolley 10. The trolley 10 has a dedicated area for suspending the fitting, for example, along the side plate 16. Thus, more objects can be carried during service, and the fitting 46 can be removed to enable the trolley 10 to be loaded into a storage compartment. This ensures that the internal space 12 is maximized to accommodate more drawers and / or trays for a given outer volume of the trolley (or trolley envelope).

[0048] The trolley may additionally include one or more drawers 14 placed on top of the trolley. Due to the flat nature of the top plate 18, one or more drawers on top of the trolley can rest on the top plate 18, thus providing more space to carry more objects during service. One or more additional drawers may be fixed to the trolley 10 by their edges, more specifically by the extruded profile 26 of the trolley. This is to prevent the drawers from falling out during service while allowing for easy removal to store the trolley in the storage compartment of the kitchen building. Figure 1 The additional drawers placed on top of the trolley are depicted in dashed lines. In Figure 2 the embodiment, two additional drawers may be placed on top of the trolley, while in Figure 3 the embodiment, one additional drawer may be placed on top of the trolley. The edge or extruded profile 26 around the trolley may exceed a minimum of 5 mm (which does not increase the overall external volume of the trolley). Additionally, one or more additional drawers may be placed on top of the trolley when the handle 30 is in the open and closed positions - the handle 30 does not interfere with the positioning of the drawers on top of the trolley.

[0049] The trolley 10 may be provided with vents to ventilate the internal space 12. The vents may pass through one or more doors 22, side plates 16 or the rear plate. The trolley 10 may also accommodate garbage bags. Since the available internal dimensions of the trolley are maximized, larger-sized garbage bags can be transported. For this purpose, by emptying any trays or drawers of the trolley 10, the garbage bags can be hung on fixtures within the internal space 12. This enables the collection of a larger amount of waste.

[0050] The present invention has been described with respect to specific embodiments, which are for illustrative purposes only and should not be considered restrictive. Those skilled in the art will note that the present invention is not limited to the examples illustrated and / or described above. The present invention includes each of the new technical features described in this document and their combinations.
