An example of a mounting rail system for a console of an aircraft includes a mounting rail with a track that includes two bevelled faces, a pyramidal nut configured to fit within the track, and a mounting bracket configured to be secured to the mounting rail via a fastener that attaches to the pyramidal nut. The pyramidal nut includes two bevelled faces that align with the two bevelled faces of the track.
1. A mounting rail system for a console of an aircraft, the mounting rail system comprising:
a mounting rail comprising:
a plurality of holes configured to receive fasteners; and
a track comprising two beveled faces, wherein the track opens substantially perpendicularly to the plurality of holes;
a pyramidal nut configured to fit within the track and comprising two beveled faces that align with the two beveled faces of the track; and
a mounting bracket configured to be secured to the mounting rail via a fastener that attaches to the pyramidal nut substantially perpendicularly to the plurality of holes.
2. The mounting rail system of claim 1 , wherein the track further comprises a biasing means that bias the pyramidal nut against a portion of the mounting rail.
3. The mounting rail system of claim 2 , wherein the biasing means is secured to a face between the two beveled faces of the track.
4. The mounting rail system of claim 2 , wherein the biasing means comprises a polymeric material.
5. The mounting rail system of claim 2 , wherein the biasing means comprises a rubber material.
6. The mounting rail system of claim 1 , wherein the mounting bracket further comprises a rail configured to receive quarter-turn fasteners.
7. The mounting rail system of claim 6 , wherein the rail has turned ends.
8. The mounting rail system of claim 1 , wherein the mounting bracket has a raised portion that mates with an opening of the track to orient the mounting bracket such that a face of the mounting bracket is configured to be parallel with a face of the console.
9. The mounting rail system of claim 8 , wherein the raised portion comprises faces that align with faces of the opening of the track.
10. The mounting rail system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of holes of the mounting rail are configured to align with a plurality of holes of a flange of the console.
11. The mounting rail system of claim 1 , further comprising a spacer disposed between the mounting bracket and the mounting rail.
12. The mounting rail system of claim of 11 , wherein the mounting bracket comprises a slotted hole to allow a height of the mounting bracket relative to the mounting rail to be adjusted.
13. The mounting rail system of claim 11 , wherein the spacer comprises a tab that mates with a slot of the mounting bracket to align the mounting bracket relative to the spacer.
14. A mounting rail system for a console, the mounting rail system comprising:
a mounting rail comprising:
a plurality of holes configured to receive fasteners; and
a track comprising two beveled faces, wherein the track opens substantially perpendicularly to the plurality of holes;
a pyramidal nut configured to fit within the track and comprising two beveled faces that align with the two beveled faces of the track;
a mounting bracket configured to be secured to the mounting rail via a fastener that attaches to the pyramidal nut substantially perpendicularly to the plurality of holes; and
a spacer disposed between the mounting bracket and the mounting rail.
15. The mounting rail system of claim 14 , wherein the track further comprises a biasing means that bias the pyramidal nut against a portion of the mounting rail.
16. The mounting rail system of claim 15 , wherein the biasing means is secured to a face between the two beveled faces of the track.
17. The mounting rail system of claim 14 , wherein the mounting bracket further comprises a rail configured to receive quarter-turn fasteners.
18. The mounting rail system of claim 17 , wherein the rail has turned ends.
19. The mounting rail system of claim 14 , wherein the mounting bracket has a raised portion that mates with an opening of the track to orient the mounting bracket such that a face of the mounting bracket is configured to be parallel with a face of the console.
20. The mounting rail system of claim of 14 , wherein the mounting bracket comprises a slotted hole to allow a height of the mounting bracket relative to the mounting rail to be adjusted.
