Decompression-Element Fastening System For An Aircraft

Abstract

A decompression-element fastening system (10) is provided for releasably fastening a trim component (12) serving as a decompression element to a supporting structure (14) in an aircraft internal region. The decompression fastening system (10) comprises at least one bolt (20), a screw (44) configured for pressing the trim component (12) in the direction of the supporting structure (14), and at least one to detent element (22) configured for resilient support on the supporting structure (14). The bolt (20) has a bolt axis (21) and on a first end at least one detent recess (26) and on a second end (28) a first thread (40). The screw (44) is connected by a second thread (42) to the bolt (20). The detent element (22) upon approach of the bolt (20) may slide over the first end (28) thereof and come into engagement with the detent recess (26). If predetermined tensile force acting in the direction of the bolt axis (21) is exceeded, the detent element (22) disengages from the detent recess (26). Thus the decompression fastening system (10) in one device combines and improves a plurality of functions that are conventionally realized separately with increased weight.
