Attachment system for an electrical device for installation in aircraft cabins
View Patent ↗The invention relates to an attachment system for an electrical device for installation in aircraft cabins, including a base component to be installed so as to be fixed; with a multi-pole supply connector unit, prepared for connection to various electrical supply lines, as a base; attachment means affixed to the base component; a housing component that is to be detachably attached, which is designed for accommodating the electrical device with at least one electrical consumer; a housing connector unit connected to the electrical consumer, of which there is at least one, by way of electrical lines, which housing connector unit is affixed to the housing component so as to be complementary to the supply connector unit; and attachment means affixed to the housing component, which attachment means automatically connect to the attachment means affixed to the base component when the complementary connector units are plugged into each other.
1. An attachment system for an electrical device for installation in aircraft cabins, comprising
a base component to be installed so as to be fixed, with a multi-pole supply connector unit, prepared for connection to various electrical supply lines, as a base;
attachment means affixed to the base component;
a housing component that is detachably attached for accommodating the electrical device with at least one electrical consumer;
a housing connector unit connected to the at least one electrical consumer by way of electrical lines, wherein the housing connector unit is affixed to the housing component and the housing connector unit is complementary to the supply connector unit; and
further attachment means affixed to the housing component, wherein the further attachment means automatically connect to the attachment means affixed to the base component when the complementary connector units are plugged into each other,
wherein the attachment means on the base component comprise stud bolts on both sides of the base component, whose axes extend across the plug-in direction of the housing component, and wherein the further attachment means on the housing component comprise claws on both sides of the housing component that are swivellable, and wherein the claws mate with the bolts at one end of the claws, wherein the claws are configured to be swivelled away against a restoring force of a stretched spring connecting the claws at another end of the claws.
2. The attachment system of claim 1 , wherein the attachment means are suitable for establishing a positive locking connection.
3. The attachment system of claim 1 , wherein the attachment means on the base component comprise a fixed contour that can be gripped from the back.
4. The attachment system of claim 1 , wherein the housing connector unit comprises a protruding spout which, when the complementary connector units are plugged into each other during installation, guides of the movement of the housing component, in the installed state forms an end stop, and telescopically encloses the supply connector unit.
5. The attachment system of claim 1 , wherein in the installed state the stretched spring keeps the swivellable claws engaged with the stud bolts.
6. The attachment system of claim 5 , wherein in the installed state the swivellable claws completely grip the stud bolts from the back, and for undoing the for removing from the housing component by unlocking of the connection between the stud bolts and the claws has to take place.
7. The attachment system of claim 5 , wherein the swivellable claws in the installed state grip the stud bolts from the back, and removal from the housing component by applying a force above a specified pull-off force causes automatic unlocking of the connection between the stud bolts and the claws.
8. The attachment system of claim 1 , wherein the complementary connector units are designed in two rows and incorporate at least eight poles.
9. The attachment system of claim 1 , wherein the housing component is an exit sign.
