Abstract
A device for releasably fastening covering panels, in particular ceiling panels in aircraft, on a load-bearing structure, having at least two fastening elements. In order to make it possible for the covering panels to be removed and fastened quickly and easily without the aid of tools, and for loose constituent parts to be avoided, it is provided that all the constituent parts of the fastening elements are connected either to the covering panel and/or to the load-bearing structure, and that all those constituent parts of the fastening elements which are connected to the covering panel are arranged exclusively on that side of the covering panel which is directed toward the load-bearing structure, and that at least one fastening element is designed as a movable bearing, e.g. as a bolt, for absorbing the forces which act essentially perpendicularly with respect to the covering panel, and at least one fastening element is designed as a fixed bearing, e.g. as a bolt, for additionally absorbing the forces which act essentially in the direction of the covering panel, and that each fastening element which is designed as a fixed bearing has means for tool-free locking and unlocking.
