[0014] FIG. 5 is a partial front view of a plurality of individual galley modules being attached to the connecting rail of FIG. 3.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS AND BEST MODE
[0015] Referring now specifically to the drawing figures wherein identical reference numerals denote the same elements throughout the various views, an exemplary galley unit 10 used for food preparation and storage in a passenger vehicle and constructed according to the present invention is illustrated in FIG. 1 . The basic components of the galley unit 10 are an upright structural support or mounting rack 12 and a plurality of individual galley modules 14. A galley unit 10 comprising a plurality of individual galley modules 14 is also referred to herein as a "modular integrated galley."
[0016] The mounting rack 12 may be a free-standing structure, or it may be integrated into a portion of the vehicle, such as a bulkhead (not shown). FIG. 2 illustrates the front face of the mounting rack 12. The front face 11 of the mounting rack 12 includes openings or spaces 16 for receiving the modules 14. In the illustrated example, the upper spaces 16A include structural mounting points 18, such as female threaded inserts or the like, configured to receive complementary bolts (not shown) provided on the modules 14. Hooks, brackets, latches, or fasteners other than bolts could also be used to make a structural connection between the modules 14 and the mounting rack 12. The lower spaces 16B include similar structural mounting points 18, as well as vehicle utility connections 20, such as an electrical power connector 22, a potable water supply connector 24, and a waste water drain 24. The vehicle utility connections 20 are configured with known types of quick-connect fittings that mate with complementary fittings provided on a module 14 as the module is pushed into place in the mounting rack 12. The size and arrangement of the spaces 16, as well as the selection and arrangement of spaces 16B that include vehicle utility connections 20, may be varied to suit a particular need or application.
[0017] Referring again to FIG. 1 , each of the modules 14 comprises a generally box-like outer shell 28 with top, bottom, front, rear, and side walls. The rear wall includes hooks, brackets, latches, fasteners, or other attachment structures (not shown) configured to attach the outer shell 28 to the structural mounting points 18. As depicted herein, the modules 14 are generally square or rectangular in cross- section, but other shapes may be used as well. The functional components of the modules 14 are contained within the shells 28. For example, the module 14A is a beverage maker and/or water dispensing unit which includes equipment for storing, heating, cooling, and/or dispensing liquids. The module 14B is an oven (e.g. microwave) which includes heating elements and temperature controls for reheating food items, such as pre-packaged meals. The module 14C is a refrigerator which includes a cooling mechanism for storing foods and beverages at lower temperatures. The modules 14D are storage compartments for storing food and beverage items, condiments, utensils, and the like.
[0018] The modules 14 may include one or more removable compartments or components to facilitate loading, unloading, or maintenance. For example, the module 14D may include an inner compartment 30 which can be removed and replaced without disturbing (e.g. removing) the outer shell 28 of the module. Furthermore, the functional components of the modules, such as the beverage maker 14A, may be configured as line-replaceable units (LRUs), to allow repair or replacement without removing the entire module 14A.
[0019] Means are provided for interconnecting adjacent individual modules 14. For example, FIGS. 3-5 illustrate a connecting rail 32 which includes dovetail slots 34 formed along its outer perimeter. The slots 34 receive dovetail ribs 36 carried on the module 14, either as separate items or integrally-formed with the outer shell 28 of the module. As shown in FIG. 5, the connecting rail 32 may be slid into engagement with a group of up to four modules 14 to form a solid connection. Additional connecting rails 32 are used between the remaining modules 14. Thus connected, the modules 14 provide mutual support to each other against bending, sliding, twisting, etc. during use. As such, no external structure is required to support the modules 14 once they are attached to the mounting rack 12 and interconnected with a connecting rail 32, as described above. Any suitable structure effective to interconnect the modules 14 may be substituted for the connecting rails 32. If desired, an outer housing, cover, or trim member may be placed around the modules 14 for aesthetic purposes.
[0020] The galley unit 10 is made, or built up, by attaching the desired combination of modules 14 to the mounting rack 12, and then interconnecting adjacent modules 14 using connecting rails 32. The selection of the types and sizes of the individual galley modules 14 may be chosen as desired or needed for a particular vehicle, and different functional modules 14 may be used in a single mounting rack 12 without having to reconfigure the vehicle utility connections 20 provided on the mounting rack. Accordingly, a modular integrated galley built up from a plurality of individual galley modules constructed according to the invention allows for the economical construction of customized galley units 10.
[0021] A modular integrated galley, or galley unit, is described hereinabove. Various details of the invention may be changed without departing from its scope. Furthermore, the foregoing description of the preferred embodiments of the invention and the best mode for practicing the invention are provided for the purpose of illustration only, and not for the purpose of limitation.
