Abstract

A device for latching a door of an oxygen mask container in an aircraft cabin includes a door for an oxygen mask container having an inner side, outer side and hinge, a first latching device attached to the inner side, and a second latching device movable relative to the first latching device to selectively engage or disengage the second latching device. A retaining element is attachable to a structural part inside the oxygen mask container. A test control device on the inner side of the door includes a movable hook element and can move the hook element to a first or second position. The hook element can engage the retaining element in the first position to restrict an opening degree of the door. The hook element is placed in the second position such that when the door is opened, the hook element is moved past the retaining element.
