Abstract

A galley monument for an aircraft has a shelf structure, a pull-out member supported on the shelf structure so as to be able to be moved between an insertion position and a deployment position and has a carrier plate, and a display device supported on the pull-out member and having a display. A first surface of the carrier plate in the deployment position of the pull-out member is located in a deployment plane and protrudes with respect to the shelf structure and is located in the insertion position at least partially inside the shelf structure. The display device in the deployment position of the pull-out member can be pivoted about a centre of rotation between a storage position, in which the display device extends parallel with the deployment plane, and a position for use, in which the display device extends transversely relative to the deployment plane.

First claim

1 . A galley monument for an aircraft comprising:
a shelf structure; a pull-out member supported on the shelf structure and configured to be moved between an insertion position and a deployment position and having a carrier plate, wherein a first surface of the carrier plate in the deployment position of the pull-out member is located in a deployment plane and protrudes with respect to the shelf structure and is located in the insertion position at least partially inside the shelf structure; and a display device supported on the pull-out member and having a display; wherein the display device in the deployment position of the pull-out member is configured to be pivoted about a centre of rotation between a storage position, in which the display device extends parallel with the deployment plane, and a position for use, in which the display device extends transversely relative to the deployment plane.

2 . The galley monument according to claim 1 , wherein the centre of rotation is arranged in a first end region of the carrier plate and wherein the first end region of the carrier plate in the deployment position of the pull-out member is located facing the shelf structure.

3 . The galley monument according to claim 1 , wherein the centre of rotation is arranged in a second end region of the carrier plate and wherein the second end region of the carrier plate in the deployment position of the pull-out member is located facing away from the shelf structure.

4 . The galley monument according to claim 1 , wherein the first surface of the carrier plate comprises a receiving recess, and wherein the display device in the storage position is arranged in the receiving recess.

5 . The galley monument according to claim 1 , wherein the display of the display device is orientated in the storage position in the opposite direction to the first surface of the carrier plate.

6 . The galley monument according to claim 1 , wherein the display of the display device in the storage position is orientated in the same direction as the first surface of the carrier plate.

7 . The galley monument according to claim 1 , wherein the display device is pivotably supported on the pull-out member by an articulation device.

8 . The galley monument according to claim 7 , wherein supply lines for supplying the display device inside the articulation device extend between the pull-out member and the display device.

9 . The galley monument according to claim 7 , wherein the display device is releasably coupled to the articulation device by a coupling device.

10 . The galley monument according to claim 9 , wherein the coupling device is constructed as a frame by configured to lock the display device.

11 . The galley monument according to claim 1 , further comprising a securing device for securing the display device in the position for use and/or in the storage position.

12 . The galley monument according to claim 1 , further comprising:
an actuator configured to move the display device between the position for use and the storage position.

13 . The galley monument according to claim 12 , wherein the actuator is functionally coupled to a processor unit of the display device, and wherein the processor unit is configured to control the actuator.

14 . An aircraft comprising a galley monument according to claim 1 .
