Abstract
An attachment structure is provided by which interior equipment components of an aircraft passenger cabin can conveniently be affixed. The attachment structure includes, but is not limited to at least one system support that above the cabin floor extends at least along the spacing of two frame elements. The system support has a longitudinal extension along which it comprises a plurality of attachment means, evenly spaced apart from each other, for affixing interior equipment components, wherein the spacing of the attachment means is smaller than the spacing of the frame elements.
Claims15
A fuselage cabin comprising an attachment structure for affixing interior equipment components in an aircraft passenger cabin, the attachment structure comprising:
- a plurality of frame elements;
- at least one attachment rail arranged in a floor of the fuselage cabin;
- a first suspension device;
- a system support;
- wherein the plurality of frame elements are arranged so as to be spaced apart from each other with a first spacing in longitudinal direction of the fuselage cabin,
- wherein the first suspension device is arranged so that it extends in a plane defined by the plurality of frame elements and such that a free end of the first suspension device extends into the passenger cabin, such that the system support is spaced from the plurality of frame elements by the first suspension device without any direct contact between the plurality of frame elements and the system support, at which free end of the first suspension device the system support is attached to the first suspension device;
- wherein at least one interior equipment component is attached to the system support without being directly attached to the plurality of frame elements;
- wherein the system support extends above the floor of the fuselage cabin more than two frame elements;
- wherein the system support has a longitudinal extension along which the system support comprises a plurality of attachment elements, evenly spaced apart from each other with a second spacing, for affixing interior equipment components;
- wherein the second spacing of the attachment elements is smaller than the first spacing of the frame elements;
- and
- wherein a length of the attachment rail extends parallel to the system support, with a plurality of attachment elements, evenly spaced apart from each other, for affixing the interior equipment components, being provided in the attachment rail, wherein the attachment elements of the attachment rail and the attachment elements of the at least one system support are aligned.
