Abstract

A device for holding an insulating blanket and for fastening systems for an aircraft including aircraft frames, a skin, and connecting pieces between the skin and the frames, the connecting pieces including clips, includes two brackets and a member that contours at least a portion of one of the aircraft frames. Each bracket has a first branch configured to be fastened to one of the clips and a second branch provided with a slot. The member that contours at least a portion of one of the aircraft frames includes a base and two arms. Each arm has a free end forming a securing lug configured to be inserted into the slot of one of the brackets with a flange which forms a stop countering displacement of the securing lug once the latter is inserted into the slot. Each arm further includes at least one support configured to accommodate a system.

Claims (13)

1. A device for holding an insulating blanket and for fastening systems for an aircraft including aircraft frames, a skin, and connecting pieces between the skin and the frames, the connecting pieces including clips, the device comprising:

two brackets, each bracket having a first branch configured to be fastened to one of the clips and a second branch provided with a slot, and

a member that contours at least a portion of one of the aircraft frames and that includes a base and two arms, each arm having a free end forming a securing lug configured to be inserted into the slot of one of the brackets with a flange which forms a stop countering displacement of the securing lug once the latter is inserted into the slot, and each arm further including at least one support configured to accommodate a system.

2. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the base is of elongated shape and defines a plane, referred to as a reference plane, and the arms extend more or less perpendicular to the reference plane.

3. The device according to one of claims 1 or 2 , wherein the base of elongated shape and the arms form only a single part.

4. The device according to claim 1 , wherein at least one arm bears a ramp extending more or less perpendicular in relation to the at least one arm which bears the ramp, each ramp being configured to accommodate a support.

5. The device according to claim 1 , wherein at least one support is a separate piece equipped with an assembly part, and the member that contours at least a portion of one of the aircraft frames includes a complementary assembly part to accommodate the at least one support.

6. A fastening assembly comprising:

the device according to claim 4 , wherein each system support includes a base configured to be coupled with a housing arranged on the ramp.

7. The fastening assembly according to claim 6 , wherein housings arranged on the ramps are all identical and bases of the system supports are all identical, irrespective of the systems to be fastened.

8. The fastening assembly according to one of claims 6 or 7 , wherein the base of each system support and each of the housings arranged on the ramps have complementary sections and each includes a lock to counter displacement of the system support.

9. An aircraft comprising:

at least one device according to claim 1 and systems fastened with the aid of the device.
