Multi-purpose mount for securing insulation and holding cables
View Patent ↗A mount for an aircraft secures insulation material to a structure of the aircraft in which a plate-shaped element and a connecting element that are implemented from a very heat-resistant material are provided. The remainder of the hanger may be implemented from plastic. Under the effect of strong heat, the plastic may melt. An insulation mat is nonetheless secured against falling down/detaching by the plate-shaped element, which is supported using the connecting element.
1. A mount for an aircraft for securing insulation material to a structure of the aircraft, wherein the insulation material has at least one hole having a first set of dimensions, the mount comprising: a first cable mount section; and a second cable mount section; wherein the first and the second cable mount sections are essentially made of a first material; wherein the first material is plastic; wherein the first and the second cable mount sections are connectable via a connecting element; wherein the connecting element is guided through an at least one recess of the insulation material; wherein the connecting element supports at least two plate shaped elements; wherein a first of the at least two plate-shaped elements has a second set of dimensions, which is larger than the first set of dimensions, so that the first of the at least two plate-shaped elements does not fit through the hole of the insulation material; wherein the insulation material is positioned between the at least two plate-shaped elements and is secured against falling down by the at least two plate-shaped elements; wherein the connecting element and the at least two plate-shaped elements are essentially made of a second material; wherein the second material is more heat-resistant or more fire-resistant than the first material; wherein the connecting element has a metal screw which is supported in one of the first and second cable mount sections; wherein the connecting element further has a metal nut which is supported in the other one of the first and second cable mount sections; wherein a head of the screw has a third set of dimensions representing the largest diameter of the screw head; wherein the nut has a fourth set of dimensions representing the distance across the nut; wherein one of the at least two plate-shaped elements has a hole having a fifth set of dimensions; wherein the fifth set of dimensions is smaller than the third and the fourth sets of dimensions; and wherein; when the first and second cable mount sections are connected, one of the at least two plate-shaped elements is positioned between the head of the metal screw and the nut.
2. The mount of claim 1 ,
wherein at least one of the first and second cable mount sections has a cable receiving region for receiving and supporting cables.
3. The mount of claim 1 , wherein the second material is a metal.
4. The mount of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the at least two plate-shaped elements is a metal disk which is integrated into the plastic of the first or second cable mount section.
5. The mount of claim 4 ,
wherein the metal disk is integrally formed with the first or second cable mount section.
6. The mount of claim 1 ,
wherein two plate-shaped elements are provided;
wherein both plate-shaped elements have sets of dimensions which are larger than the first set of dimensions;
wherein both plate-shaped elements are positioned between the head of the metal screw and the nut when the first and second cable mount sections are connected.
7. An aircraft comprising a mount for the aircraft for securing insulation material to a structure of the aircraft, wherein the insulation material has at least one hole having a first set of dimensions, the mount comprising: a first cable mount section; and a second cable mount section; wherein the first and the second cable mount sections are essentially made of a first material; wherein the first material is plastic; wherein the first and the second cable mount sections are connectable via a connecting element; wherein the connecting element is guided through the at least one recess of the insulation material; wherein the connecting element supports at least two plate-shaped elements; wherein a first of the at least two plate-shaped elements has a second set of dimensions, which is larger than the first set of dimensions, so that the first of the at least two plate-shaped elements does not fit through a recess of the insulation material; wherein the insulation material is positioned between two plate-shaped elements and is secured against falling down by the two plate-shaped elements; wherein the connecting element and the at least two plate-shaped elements are essentially made of a second material; wherein the second material is more heat-resistant or more fire-resistant than the first material; wherein the connecting element has a metal screw which is supported in one of the first and second cable mount sections; wherein the connecting element further has a metal nut which is supported in the other one of the first and second cable mount sections; wherein a head of the screw has a third set of dimensions representing the largest diameter of the screw head; wherein the nut has a fourth set of dimensions representing the distance across the nut; wherein one of the at least two plate-shaped elements has a hole having a fifth set of dimensions; wherein the fifth set of dimensions is smaller than the third and the fourth sets of dimensions; and wherein; when the first and second cable mount sections are connected, one of the at least two plate-shaped elements is positioned between the head of the metal screw and the nut.
