Abstract
There is provided herein an aircraft galley container including a door, a latch mechanism, and a lock. The latch mechanism is positionable in a latched position preventing opening of the door and an unlatched position permitting opening of the door. The latch mechanism includes a handle, a pair of rods and a rotatable plate. The rotatable plate is coupled to the handle and configured to be rotated by the handle and to convert rotational movement of the handle to linear movement of the pair of rods to place the latch mechanism in the latched and unlatched positions. The lock is configured to selectively prevent the rotatable plate from rotation to maintain the latch mechanism in the latched position.
