An attachment device for attaching an equipment component in an aircraft, comprising a second attachment element for attaching an equipment component in an aircraft, the second attachment element comprising a guiding element, a contact element and a locking element, wherein the guiding element is introducible into a first section of a first attachment element, wherein the guiding element is movable from the first section of a first attachment element according to the present invention into a second section of the first attachment element, wherein the first attachment element and the second attachment element are mechanically couplable by engaging from behind the first attachment element in the second section of the first attachment element, wherein, in the coupled state, the contact element provides a mechanical contact between first and second attachment element and wherein by operating the locking element the first attachment element and the second attachment element are releasably fixable relative to one another.

Attachment structure, attachment device and attachment system for attaching an equipment component in an aircraft

A fastening system for fastening a cabin fitting element with at least one electrical installation on a support structure of an aircraft. During installation into the support structure, the cabin fitting element is fixed in succession by at least one loose bearing in at least one degree of translational freedom and then by at least one fixed bearing in the at least one further degree of translational freedom. In order to ensure an improved installation and dismantling of cabin covering panels with electrical installation and to reduce the weight due to the components and also the installation space which is required, according to the disclosed embodiments a contact device with a bush arrangement and a plug arrangement is integrated in the at least one loose bearing and/or the at least one fixed bearing, by which an electrical connection is produced between the support structure and the electrical installation of the cabin fitting element on fixing at least of one degree of translational freedom.

Fastening system for fastening a cabin fitting element to a support structure of an aircraft

A holder for multiple optical fibres, in which a detachable connection is created between the holder and the optical fibres by elastic engagement in a seating The holder includes a comb element with a receiving side facing the optical fibres and a base surface facing the cabin structural part. The comb element has an elongated shape and seatings arranged on the receiving side and extending transversely to the longitudinal direction. The seatings are separated from by fins, and the base surface is partly covered with double-sided adhesive strips. A cavity is formed between the base surfaceand the cabin structural part for injecting a curable adhesive. Adhesive connections between the holder and the cabin structural part combine the immediate loading capability of a pressure-sensitive bond with the ageing resistance of a reactive adhesive.
