Cabin supply bracket

A cabin supply duct assembly comprising:

• a cabin supply duct;
• a tie rod coupled to the cabin supply duct;
• and
• a cabin supply bracket coupled to the tie rod, the cabin supply bracket comprising:
• a base plate comprising a first, second, and third mounting hole distributed in a substantially triangular arrangement, the first mounting hole having a centerline defined therethrough;
• and
• a coupling socket extending from the base plate, the coupling socket configured to receive the tie rod, the coupling socket comprising a first and second tie rod coupling support having a tie rod coupling hole formed therethrough and a first and second outer edge, the tie rod coupling hold having a centerline defined therethrough, the first outer edge proximate the second mounting hole, the second outer edge proximate the third mounting hole, the coupling socket having a socket width defined between a first socket edge proximate the first outer edge and a second socket edge proximate the second outer edge, wherein a ratio of the socket width to a thickness of the base plate is between 6.31 and 7.84, and a ratio of the socket width to a length defined between the centerline of the first mounting hole and the centerline of the tie rod coupling hole is between 55.6 and 94.

A method of installing a cabin supply bracket in a cabin air conditioning and temperature control system comprising:

• coupling a tie rod to a cabin supply duct;
• coupling a cabin supply bracket to a mount bracket;
• and
• coupling the tie rod to the cabin supply bracket, the cabin supply bracket comprising:
• a base plate comprising a first, second, and third mounting hole distributed in a substantially triangular arrangement, the first mounting hole having a centerline defined therethrough;
• and
• a coupling socket extending from the base plate, the coupling socket configured to receive the tie rod, the coupling socket comprising a first and second tie rod coupling support having a tie rod coupling hole formed therethrough and a first and second outer edge, the tie rod coupling hold having a centerline defined therethrough, the first outer edge proximate the second mounting hole, the second outer edge proximate the third mounting hole, the coupling socket having a socket width defined between a first socket edge proximate the first outer edge and a second socket edge proximate the second outer edge, wherein a ratio of the socket width to a thickness of the base plate is between 6.31 and 7.84, and a ratio of the socket width to a length defined between the centerline of the first mounting hole and the centerline of the tie rod coupling hole is between 55.6 and 94.
