Abstract
A mounting member configured to support a cabin component to be mounted to a mounting rail. The rail mounting arrangement comprises a disengagement locking mechanism that prevents a removal of the mounting member along a transversal direction of the mounting rail, while still allowing movement along the longitudinal direction. The rail mounting arrangement includes a securing mechanism that is configured to secure the mounting member at the desired location along the mounting rail.
Claims20
A rail mounting arrangement for a vehicle, the arrangement comprising:
- a mounting member configured to support a cabin component, an inner locking groove formed on the mounting member;
- a mounting rail that extends in a longitudinal direction and that has a mounting profile portion that is configured for mounting the mounting member, an outer locking groove formed on the mounting profile portion, the outer locking groove cooperating with the inner locking groove to form a disengagement locking channel;
- wherein the rail mounting arrangement includes a disengagement locking mechanism that is partially provided on the mounting member and on the mounting profile portion, respectively, wherein the disengagement locking mechanism includes a disengagement locking member comprising a disengagement locking pin that, when inserted within the disengagement locking channel, prevents removal of the mounting member in a transversal direction of the mounting rail, and that, when removed from the disengagement locking channel, allows removal of the mounting member from the mounting rail,
- wherein the rail mounting arrangement includes a securing mechanism that is partially provided on the mounting member and on the mounting profile portion, respectively, wherein the securing mechanism includes a first vertical locking portion that is arranged on the mounting member so as to face the mounting profile portion and a second vertical locking portion that is arranged on the mounting profile portion so as to face the mounting member,
- wherein the first vertical locking portion and the second vertical locking portion are matched such that, when the securing mechanism is in a locked state, the first and second vertical locking portions engage each other in a form-fitting manner such that a movement of the mounting member relative to the mounting rail along the longitudinal direction is blocked.
