Stowaway trash trolley for aircraft - uses differential air pressure to compact refuse

摘要

The trolley has an interchangeable plastics refuse container whose side walls are plastic so that they deform when a fraction of the differential pressure between the stabilised cabin air pressure and the outside air pressure is let in thereby causing a compression of the refuse inside the container. The filling opening of the refuse container has a seal which after bringing the trash trolley into its storage unit produces a spatially sealed closure. A spatial connection between the inside of the container and the atmos. outside the aircraft can be provided by a pipe system with controllable valve. USE/ADVANTAGE - Low cost compaction of waste material in trolley on board aircraft.
