Abstract

(57) [Summary] [PROBLEMS] To improve a fixing structure of a surface material of a serving truck used in an aircraft cabin or the like. A serving car (1) has a box-shaped main body (10) composed of panels, and accommodates a tray on which tableware is placed. Doors 30 supported by hinges 32 are provided at the front and rear of the main body 10. Casters 2 at the bottom of the body 10
The serving car 1 is operated using the handle 50. A magnet 80 is embedded in the side wall panel 12 of the main body 10 and a surface member 70 made of a magnetic thin plate is detachably fixed. With this configuration, the surface material 70 can be easily replaced.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a fixing structure for a surface material of an in-flight food service truck.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 For example, in an in-flight food service car called a service cart that provides meals and beverages in the cabin of an aircraft, etc., a box-shaped main body that accommodates trays has a caster at the bottom, and a bottle at the top of the main body. It has a space to arrange etc. The front and rear of the main unit have hinged doors, and the front and rear of the upper part of the main unit have handles for pushing the catering car.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 The side wall surface of the box-shaped main body is covered with a surface material such as a decorative board. The surface material of this catering vehicle passes through the height of the line of sight of the seated passenger, and is easily noticeable. Therefore, by displaying company marks and advertisements on this surface material, it is possible to appeal to the passengers about the company's services. However, catering trucks are used not only onboard but also on the ground when loading food, and the surface materials are easily damaged. The scratches are noticeable to passengers, so it is necessary to replace the surface material promptly.

[0004] In a conventional in-flight meal service vehicle or the like, the surface material is directly bonded to the structure. Therefore, there was a problem that the adhesive had to be peeled off when replacing the surface material. The present invention provides a fixed structure that facilitates replacement of the surface material of an in-flight food service truck.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The surface material fixing structure of the catering car of the present invention is a catering car having a box-shaped main body that accommodates a tray on which tableware is placed, a hinge door provided at the front and rear of the main body, and a caster provided at a lower part of the main body. It has a magnet embedded in the honeycomb panel forming the side wall surface of the main body, and a surface material that is attracted and held by the magnet and covers the honeycomb panel.

[0006]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an in-flight meal serving vehicle to which the present invention is applied. The serving car indicated by reference numeral 1 as a whole has a main body 10 in which panel materials are formed in a box shape, and has a caster 20 at a lower portion of the main body 10. Doors 30 are provided at the front and rear of the main body 10 and are supported by hinges 32 so as to be openable and closable. A knob 34 is provided on the front surface of the door 30. By operating the knob 34, the door can be unlocked.

The upper space 40 of the main body 10 is used as a space for placing beverage bottles, ice, cups, and the like. A handle 50 for operating the serving car is provided before and after the upper portion of the main body 10. The surface of the side wall of the main body 10 is covered with a surface material 70. An appropriate picture or the like is displayed on this surface material.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the mounting structure of the surface material of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of a main part. The serving car body 10 has a side wall panel 12, and has a structure in which a surface material 70 is attached to the surface of the side wall panel 12. The side wall material panel 12 is, for example, a panel material having a honeycomb structure, and is made of a material having light weight and sufficient rigidity. Magnet members 80 are embedded in the surface of the side wall panel 12 at appropriate intervals. The surface material 70 is made of a thin magnetic metal plate, and the surface is appropriately painted or decorated.

Therefore, the surface material 70 is attracted and held by the magnet 80. With this configuration, the surface material 70 can be detached from the magnet 80 of the side wall panel 12 as needed, and repair and replacement can be easily performed.

[0010]

[Effect of the invention]

 As described above, the present invention relates to a serving truck used in an aircraft cabin, etc., in which a magnet is used to hold a surface material of a side wall which is easily damaged and easily seen by a magnet to facilitate replacement. It provides a fixed structure. With this structure, the surface material can always be maintained at a high quality of aesthetics, and the service can be improved.
