Container and connector assembly for a container

A connector assembly for use in mechanically interconnecting a first structural entity of an aircraft container with a second structural entity of the aircraft container comprising:

• a. a first connector part, comprising a first stop means, and configured to be fastened to the first structural entity of the aircraft container and
• b. a second connector part, comprising a corresponding second stop means, and configured to be fastened to the second structural entity of the aircraft container and
• c. when the connector assembly is in a connected state the first stop means of the first connector part and the corresponding second stop means of the second connector part, are configured to prevent relative movement of the second connector part with respect to the first connector part by forming a form fit in a first direction along a first axis of action and to allow relative movement of the second connector part with respect to the first connector part in a second direction opposite to the first direction along the first axis of action, and
• d. comprising a force-limiting arrangement, such that when the connector assembly is in the connected state, limits relative movement of the second connector part with respect to the first connector part in the second direction opposite to the first direction and along the first axis of action, and wherein
• e. when an external force is applied to the second connector part and the external force has a first force component that acts in the second direction and exceeds a specified first threshold force the force-limiting arrangement allows the second connector part to move relative to the first connector part in the second direction along the first axis of action, wherein relative movement in the first direction keeps being prevented by the first and second stop means.
