Abstract
A fastening device for connecting two overhead storage compartment elements of an aircraft is provided. The overhead storage compartment elements have coupling elements on the sides of the overhead storage compartment elements to be connected. The coupling elements need to be aligned with one another without being subjected to loading. A connecting plate is arranged on a first fastening element, in a longitudinally movable manner. In the delivered state of the overhead storage compartment elements, the connecting plate is already connected to the fastening element and pushed beneath the lower face of the overhead storage compartment element, so that it does not protrude and does not interfere when the bulky overhead storage compartment element is handled before attaching to the cabin ceiling.
