Abstract
An aircraft galley compartment is provided. The galley compartment comprises a housing and a retaining assembly mounted to the housing. The housing defines a chamber configured to receive a container. The retaining assembly comprises an adjustment mechanism including a moveable part, a connecting rod, a linear to rotary gear arrangement disposed between the moveable part and a first end of the connecting rod, and a retaining lever fixedly attached to the connecting rod towards a second end thereof. The retaining lever is configured to pivot on rotation of the connecting rod between a first position and a second position in which the retaining lever protrudes into the chamber to engage a container therein. Linear movement of the moveable part causes rotation of the connecting rod and movement of the retaining lever between the first position and the second position.
