A supply system for supplying passengers in a passenger compartment of a vehicle, in particular an aircraft, includes a supply line and a number of supply modules which, for supplying the passengers, are connectable to the supply line. The supply modules are displaceable relative to one another along the supply line, the supply line having one or a plurality of supply openings by which the connection between the supply line and the supply modules can be established, each supply module furthermore being assigned at least one screen which is arranged in such a manner on the service supply line that it is displaceable along the supply line and can cover a part of the one supply opening or of the plurality of supply openings which is not used for the connection of a supply module to the supply line.

A rail system for use when assembling a component in an aircraft comprises a first rail element having a securing device which is designed to be complementary to a first securing device provided in the region of a floor of an aircraft fuselage element and is adapted to cooperate with the first securing device in order to releasably secure the first rail element in the region of the floor of the aircraft fuselage element, wherein a section of the first rail element projects beyond an edge of the floor of the aircraft fuselage element in the connected state of the first rail element and the aircraft fuselage element. The first rail element furthermore comprises a guide device, which is designed to be complementary to a first guide device provided on an assembly aid, which is to be introduced into the aircraft fuselage element, and is adapted to cooperate with the first guide device to enable a guided displacement of the assembly aid to be introduced into the aircraft fuselage element relative to the rail system. The rail system furthermore comprises a second rail element having a securing device which is designed to be complementary to a second securing device provided in the region of the floor of the aircraft fuselage element and is adapted to cooperate with the second securing device in order to releasably secure the second rail element in the region of the floor of the aircraft fuselage element, wherein a section of the second rail element projects beyond an edge of the floor of the aircraft fuselage element in the connected state of the second rail element and the aircraft fuselage element. The second rail element furthermore comprises a guide device, which is designed to be complementary to a second guide device provided on an assembly aid, which is to be introduced into the aircraft fuselage element, and is adapted to cooperate with the second guide device to enable a guided displacement of the assembly aid to be introduced into the aircraft fuselage element relative to the rail system.

A support structure for an air supply arrangement for air conditioning aircraft passenger cabins. The air supply arrangement comprises an centrally controlled cabin ventilation system and an individually adjustable cabin ventilation system. The support structure includes: a first section for receiving and/or integrating cabin ventilation system components, a second section for receiving and/or integrating passenger emergency oxygen supply components and a third section comprising a plurality of receiving devices. Each receiving device receives and releasably secures an active module for individually adjustable cabin ventilation. The third section has at least the number of receiving devices required for at least one receiving device to be associated with each seating row for a maximum number of seating rows arrangeable in the cabin A supply system includes at least one such support structure and one of the active modules. A method is provided for configuring a corresponding supply system.

An apparatus for affixing an object to a rail includes, but is not limited to at least one base body, at least one locking body and at least one operating element. The locking body is held so as to be movable relative to the base body and is connected to the operating element by way of at least one bearing. The operating element is arranged so as to be rotatable in the base body, includes, but is not limited to a cam that acts on the base body, and when rotated moves the locking body towards the base body. In this way apparatus is created which makes possible the manual affixing and undoing, without the need for tools, of an object on and from a rail, for example, if needed, in order to reposition displaceable monuments in a cabin of an aircraft.
