System for restraining aircraft delivery carts

摘要

A restraining system is provided for a delivery cart for delivering articles such as food and beverages on board an aircraft. The aircraft includes an aisle for providing access by the delivery cart to rows of seats adjacent to the aisle. The restraining system includes a track positioned along the aisle and a restraining apparatus that is mounted to the delivery cart. The restraining apparatus engages the track to prevent the food and beverage cart from lifting when the aircraft encounters sudden drops and/or unexpected turbulence.
