System for fixing

A fixation system, intended in particular for fixation of a furnishing component in an aircraft, making it possible to join a substantially flat base of an element to be fixed to a top plate, comprising:

• at least one hole of elongated shape made in the top plate;
• a shaft extending substantially perpendicular to the base of the element to be fixed and mounted movable in rotation relative to its longitudinal axis;
• a fixation head integral with the shaft, of elongated shape matched to the shape of the hole made in the top plate such that an outside contour of the fixation head corresponds substantially to the inside contour of the hole made in the top plate, wherein the fixation head is intended to be disposed on a first side of the base of the element to be fixed;
• and
• control means for making the shaft pivot around its axis and intended to be disposed on a side of the base of the element to be fixed opposite the first side of the base,
• wherein a top surface of the fixation head is substantially planar, and when the furnishing component is fixed in an aircraft, the substantially planar top surface of the fixation head is engaged with a substantially planar engaging surface of the top plate.
