Abstract:
A wall-forming panel (10) for insertion into the interior of an aircraft, the panel having a frame (12) with an outer surface (14) defining a cavity. A shroud (42) is dimensioned to fit within the cavity (44) and movable on an axle (84) between an opened position and a closed position, the closed position substantially enclosing the shroud (42) within the walls of the frame (12). A latch means (86) positively but releasably retains the shroud (42) in a closed or an opened position. The latch means (86) is comprised of a cam (144) and a cam release mechanism (172). The shroud (42) is dimensioned to receive a monitor (82) such as a small television screen, therein, and is powered by an electric motor drive (122).
