a connecting tube, which extends out of the supporting device and one end of which is attached to the joint; a mounting for an interior lining part, to which mounting the other, opposite end of the connecting tube to the one end is attached; and a lanyard, which is fastened to the supporting device is and the mounting and extends through the connecting tube and the length of which is greater than the length of the connecting tube. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A holding device for an interior lining part of a fuselage, the holding device comprising: a supporting device, which is configured to anchor the holding device on a structure of the fuselage and comprises a joint, a connecting tube, which extends out of the supporting device and has one end attached to the joint, a mounting for an interior lining part, wherein another end of the connecting tube is attached to said mounting, the another end being opposite to the one end, so that the mounted connecting tube defines a first distance between the supporting device and the mounting, a slacked lanyard fastened to the supporting device and the mounting and extending through the connecting tube, wherein the lanyard becomes straightened out and holds the supporting device and the mounting together in the event that the connecting tube breaks and separates, wherein the lanyard in its straightened out condition defines a second distance between the supporting device and the mounting, wherein the second distance is greater than the first distance, and wherein said one end of the connecting tube is directly attached to a hemispherical joint body of the joint, said another end of the connecting tube is directly attached to an adjusting sleeve of the mounting, one end of the lanyard is attached to said hemispherical joint body, and another end of the lanyard is attached to said adjusting sleeve, wherein the first distance and the second distance are between the hemispherical joint body and the adjusting sleeve. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The holding device according to claim 1, wherein a load-bearing cross section of the connecting tube is dimensioned in such a way that, in the event of a load that exceeds a defined amount, the connecting tube will break before the supporting device and the mounting break. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The holding device according to claim 1, wherein a load-bearing cross section of the connecting tube is dimensioned in such a way that, in the event of a load that exceeds a defined amount, the connecting tube is configured to break before the interior lining part breaks. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The holding device according to claim 1, wherein the joint restricts a swiveling of the connecting tube relative to the supporting device to a predetermined swiveling range. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The holding device according to claim 4, wherein the predetermined swiveling range is 30° or less. ### Claim 6 (depends on 4) The holding device according to claim 4, wherein the predetermined swiveling range is centered in relation to a zero position that is symbolized by a center line of the hemispherical joint body from a convex, hemispherical surface thereof. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The holding device according to claim 1, wherein the supporting device comprises a clamping surface and a clamping element interacting therewith, both of which are disposed concentrically with the connecting tube. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The holding device according to claim 1, wherein the mounting comprises a clamping sleeve, which is connected to the adjusting sleeve. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The holding device according to claim 8, wherein the adjusting sleeve and the clamping sleeve each have a holding flange configured to hold the interior lining part therebetween. ### Claim 10 (depends on 8) The holding device according to claim 8, wherein the another end of the connecting tube is provided with an external thread, onto which the adjusting sleeve is screwed, and the clamping sleeve is screwed onto the adjusting sleeve. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The holding device according to claim 1, wherein each end of the lanyard is fastened to a retaining body, the outside diameter of which is greater than the inside diameter of the connecting tube. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The holding device according to claim 1, wherein a base of the supporting device is configured to be riveted, glued or connected via screws to the structure. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The holding device according to claim 1, wherein the another end of the connecting tube is fixedly attached to the mounting. ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) The holding device according to claim 1, wherein the first distance is a fixed distance between the supporting device and the mounting.
