A monument assembly for a vehicle and method for attaching a monument assembly to an aircraft. The monument assembly is capable of being a heavily loaded interior monument enclosure for an aircraft that includes a load bearing structural frame to be attached to a floor of the aircraft. The monument assembly includes a plurality of support members connected together and a set of floor fittings connected to the plurality of support members. The set of floor fittings configured to be connected to the vehicle. A plurality of non-loadbearing panels is connected to the plurality of support members. A load path of the monument assembly is carried by the plurality of support members and not the plurality of panels.

Aircraft interior monument enclosure

A frame member, a monument for a vehicle, and a vehicle are provided. The frame member includes an extrusion that has a spar with first and second opposing surfaces and first and second opposing ends. The spar includes a first retention lip extending from the first planar surface along the first end at an acute angle relative to the first planar surface. The spar includes a rub strip protrusion extending from the first planar surface between the first and second ends. The rub strip protrusion includes a third end and a second retention lip extending from a third surface facing the first retention lip. The second retention lip and the third surface form an acute angle. The extrusion also includes at least two panel protrusions extending from the second planar surface of the spar. A rub strip can include retention tabs with outward-facing notches that engage the first and second retention lips.

Provided are flush mountable bottle openers and methods of using such openers to remove bottle caps. These openers may be used in aircraft and other types of vehicles as well as any applications where protrusion away from supporting structures may be undesirable. A flush mountable bottle opener may include a base and a cap leverage plate pivotably coupled to the base. The base may protrude into a supporting structure such that the top edge of the base is substantially flush with the surface of the supporting structure. When the opener is not in use, the cap leverage plate may be closed and be substantially coplanar with the base edge. During operation, the cap leverage plate is brought into its open position directly by a user or using a bottle. The base and plate include engagement surfaces that support a bottle cap while the cap is removed.
