## Abstract

A device for holding an insulating blanket and for fastening systems in an aircraft includes a base and at least one support. The base has two ends from each of which there extends an arm. One arm is a jointed arm that is jointed onto the base to be pivotable relative to the base. The at least one support is configured to accommodate a system. The base includes an elongated shape and defines a plane, the base includes two longitudinal edges, and at one end of the base, each longitudinal edge has a flange extending from the base on a same side of the base from which the arms extend.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A device for holding an insulating blanket and for fastening systems in an aircraft, comprising:
a base having two ends from each of which there extends an arm, one arm is a jointed arm that is jointed onto the base to be pivotable relative to the base, and
at least one support configured to accommodate a system, wherein
the base is configured to contour at least a portion of a flange of a frame of the aircraft, the base includes an elongated shape and defines a plane, the base includes two longitudinal edges, and at one end of the base, each longitudinal edge has a base flange extending from the base on a same side of the base from which the arms extend, and the arms are configured to sandwich at least a portion of a core of the frame.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The device according to claim 1, wherein a lock is provided between the jointed arm and the base.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1, 2)

The device according to claims 1 or 2, wherein the jointed arm has at least one elastic hook, and one base flange has at least one slot configured to cooperate with a corresponding elastic hook to hold the jointed arm in a predetermined position in relation to the base.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The device according to claim 3, wherein a groove extending from the plane of the base as far as the slot is made in the corresponding base flange.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

An aircraft fuselage section, comprising:
the frame, an outer skin fastened onto the frame, and at least one insulating blanket, wherein
the at least one insulating blanket is fastened onto the frame with the aid of at least one device according to claim 1.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The aircraft fuselage section according to claim 5, wherein the frame is a sectional piece with a Z-shaped cross section with a core and two flanges, and at the end of the frame opposite the outer skin, the frame bears tongue pieces which extend more or less in a continuation of the corresponding flange but on a side opposite the core so as to form locally an end having a T-shaped section.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The aircraft fuselage section according to claim 6, wherein the two base flanges extending from the base are disposed on both sides of one of the tongue pieces.

### Claim 8 (depends on 5, 6, 7)

An aircraft comprising:
at least one fuselage section according to one of claims 5 to 7.
