Abstract

The invention relates to an assembly for storing objects in the cabin of a vehicle, comprising at least one frame with attachment means, and at least one holding device for mounting the objects, wherein the frame has a contour that, at least in some regions, essentially corresponds to the interior contour of a storage container so that the frame can be arranged in the storage container and can be attached in the storage container with the use of the attachment means, and wherein the holding device can be removably stored in the frame. The assembly according to the invention can be placed in a preassembled state in the vehicle, thus reducing the time required for installation and maintenance, while at the same time making better use of the available space.

Claims (25)

1. An aircraft stowage compartment with an assembly for storing objects in the cabin of an aircraft, said assembly comprising:

at least one frame with at least first and second panels, each panel having at least one linear guide,

at least one panel-shaped holding device for holding the objects,

at least one guide device for slidably and/or swivably storing the holding device; and

at least one lock for locking down the holding device,

wherein the frame has a contour that, at least in some regions, substantially corresponds to the interior contour of the stowage compartment so that the frame is configured to be arranged in the stowage compartment and to be attached in the stowage compartment by a fastener,

wherein the holding device is configured to be removably stored in the frame supported by the linear guides of the at least first and second panels, and

wherein the at least one lock comprises a locking bar rotatable or swivellable on an axis, wherein the locking bar in a lock-down position projects into the slide region or swivel region of the holding device, thereby preventing movement of the holding device.

2. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein the holding device is configured to be removed from the frame without the use of tools.

3. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein the holding device comprises a panel-shaped component.

4. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein the holding device is configured to store at least one item of equipment.

5. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein the holding device is aligned so as to be substantially perpendicular to a floor of the vehicle, and comprises two opposite surface planes, wherein at least one of the two surface planes comprises at least one storage compartment for storing at least one item of equipment.

6. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein the frame comprises at least one panel-shaped component.

7. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein the fastener comprises boreholes provided on the frame.

8. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein the fastener comprises a turn-lock fastener.

9. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein the fastener comprises a snap-in peg.

10. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein the assembly is configured for storing items of emergency equipment.

11. A stowage compartment with an assembly for storing objects in the cabin of an aircraft, said assembly comprising:

at least one frame with at least first and second panels, each panel having at least one linear guide,

at least one panel-shaped holding device for holding the objects,

at least one guide device for slidably and/or swivellably storing the holding device; and

at least one lock for locking down the holding device,

wherein the frame has a contour that, at least in some regions, substantially corresponds to the interior contour of the stowage compartment so that the frame can be arranged in the stowage compartment and can be attached in the stowage compartment by a fastener, and wherein the holding device can be removably stored in the frame supported by the linear guides of the at least first and second panels,

wherein the lock comprises a locking bar that is rotatable or swivellable on an axis, and

wherein the locking bar in a lock-down position projects into the slide region or swivel region of the holding device, thereby preventing movement of the holding device.
