Abstract
An aircraft first set of fastening apertures for providing connection to a second set of fastening apertures of the position adjustment part. The attachment structure comprises a first interface, and the position adjustment part comprises a second interface arranged to adjustably monument attachment apparatus comprising an attachment structure for attaching the monument attachment apparatus to an aircraft cabin surface, a bridge fitting, and a position adjustment part connectable between the attachment structure and the bridge fitting. The bridge fitting comprises a couple to the first interface such that that the position adjustment part can be selectively positioned relative to the attachment structure.

An aircraft monument attachment apparatus comprising:
- an attachment structure for attaching the monument attachment apparatus to an aircraft cabin surface;
- a bridge fitting;
- and
- a position adjustment part connectable between the attachment structure and the bridge fitting;
- wherein the bridge fitting comprises:
- a first set of fastening apertures for providing connection to the position adjustment part;
- wherein the attachment structure comprises a first interface;
- and
- wherein the position adjustment part comprises:
- a second interface arranged to adjustably couple to the first interface of the attachment structure such that the position adjustment part can be selectively positioned relative to the attachment structure;
- and
- a second set of fastening apertures for connection to the bridge fitting;
- wherein, in use:
- the first set of fastening apertures of the bridge fitting at least partially overlaps with the second set of fastening apertures of the position adjustment part, and
- the first interface and the second interface are coupled with the position adjustment part selectively positioned relative to the attachment structure
- wherein the position adjustment part comprises:
- an upper section comprising the second set of fastening apertures;
- and
- a lower section protruding from the upper section and comprising the second interface,
- wherein the second set of fastening apertures extends into the upper section of the position adjustment part from an upper surface of the position adjustment part,
- wherein the upper surface of the position adjustment part is configured to sit flush against a lower surface of the bridge fitting through which the first set of fastening apertures extends, and
- wherein the upper surface of the position adjustment part and/or the lower surface of the bridge piece are coated to increase the coefficient of friction between the surfaces.
