CATERING CART CONNECTABLE TO A SIMILAR CATERING CART

摘要

A catering cart whose height is substantially greater than its width and its length, and particularly a catering cart for use in confined spaces, such as in the aisles of passenger aircraft and railway diners. The cart is supported on four wheels, at least two of which are castor wheels (5), and has an access opening on one side (2) thereof. Two such carts can be mutually coupled with the sides (3) opposite the access openings facing towards one another, with the aid of mutually identical coupling means (30) on each respective cart. Each of the coupling means can be operated from that side (2) of the cart which presents the access opening. The opposite side (3) of the cart includes an overhang such that prior to coupling the carts together, a gap (42) is provided in the bottom region of the back-to-back cart combination in the vicinity of the coupling means (30), this gap (42) being brought to zero when the carts are coupled together, such that the carts will be supported in a sloping position solely by the outer pairs of wheels (5).
