Larder systems having interlocking larder cases

An aircraft comprising:

• a fuselage;
• and
• a larder system disposed within the fuselage,
• the larder system comprising:
• a larder enclosure comprising a first bottom support, a back wall, and a front wall;
• a first larder case disposed within the larder enclosure and slidably supported on the first bottom support of the larder enclosure,
• wherein the first larder case has a first side and a second side,
• wherein the first side of the first larder case faces the back wall of the larder enclosure,
• wherein the first larder case comprises a first latch positioned at the first side of the first larder case and a second latch positioned at the second side of the first larder case;
• and
• a second larder case disposed within the larder enclosure and slidably supported on the first bottom support of the larder enclosure between the first larder case and the back wall,
• wherein the second larder case has a first side and a second side,
• wherein the first side of the second larder case faces the back wall of the larder enclosure,
• wherein the second side of the second larder case faces the first side of the first larder case,
• wherein the second larder case comprises a first latch positioned at the first side and a second latch positioned at the second side, and
• wherein the first latch of the first larder case is detachably interlocked with the second latch of the second larder case such that sliding the first larder case on the first bottom support in a direction away from the back wall causes sliding of the second larder case on the first bottom support in the direction away from the back wall.

A method for operating a larder system, the method comprising

• inserting an inner larder case into a larder enclosure,
• wherein the inner larder case comprises a first side and a second side,
• wherein the first side of the inner larder case faces a back wall of the larder enclosure, and
• wherein the inner larder case comprises a first latch positioned at the first side of the inner larder case and a second latch positioned at the second side of the inner larder case;
• inserting an outer larder case into the larder enclosure,
• wherein the inner larder case is disposed between the outer larder case and the back wall of the larder enclosure,
• wherein the outer larder case has a first side and a second side,
• wherein the first side of the outer larder case faces the back wall of the larder enclosure,
• wherein the second side of the inner larder case faces the first side of the outer larder case,
• wherein the outer larder case comprises a first latch positioned at the first side and a second latch positioned at the second side, and
• wherein the first latch of the outer larder case is detachably interlocked with the second latch of the inner larder case as the outer larder case is inserted into the larder enclosure,
• wherein, when the first latch of the outer larder case is interlocked with the second latch of the inner larder case, sliding the outer larder case on the first bottom support in a direction away from the back wall causes sliding of the inner larder case on the first bottom support in the direction away from the back wall.
