at least one connection device detachably mounted to the vertical beam to couple the base member to a seat furniture structure, the at least one connection device including a bracket mounted on the seat furniture structure, and at least one coupling element mounted to the base member in a releasable locking engagement with the bracket, wherein the coupling element has two free ends extending on opposite lateral sides of the vertical beam, and a tie rod portion coupling both free ends.
2. The carrier device of claim 1 , wherein the tie rod portion is guided through one of the through holes of the vertical beam.
3. The carrier device of claim 1 , wherein the free ends each comprise a bearing element.
4. The carrier device of claim 3 , wherein the bracket comprises a first bracket portion mounted to the seat furniture structure, and a second bracket portion configured as a clamp to receive one of the bearing elements.
5. The carrier device of claim 4 , wherein the connection device further includes a locking pin to releasable attach the bracket to the coupling element.
6. The carrier device of claim 5 , wherein the locking pin is guided through holes formed through the clamp and an opening arranged centric in the bearing element.
7. The carrier device of claim 6 , wherein the connection device further includes a locking bolt arranged in the opening to secure the locking pin against the clamp.
8. A seating area divider for an aircraft cabin, the seating area divider comprising:
a privacy divider screen; and
a carrier device including a base member including a vertical beam to support the privacy divider screen on a cabin floor, the vertical beam having a plurality of through holes, and at least one connection device detachably mounted to the vertical beam to couple the base member to a seat furniture structure, the at least one connection device including a bracket mounted on the seat furniture structure, and at least one coupling element mounted to the base member in a releasable locking engagement with the bracket, wherein the coupling element has two free ends extending on opposite lateral sides of the vertical beam, and a tie rod portion coupling both free ends.
9. The seating area divider of claim 8 , wherein the tie rod portion is guided through one of the through holes of the vertical beam.
10. The seating area divider of claim 8 , wherein the free ends each comprise a bearing element.
11. The seating area divider of claim 10 , wherein the bracket comprises a first bracket portion mounted to the seat furniture structure, and a second bracket portion configured as a clamp to receive one of the bearing elements.
12. The seating area divider of claim 11 , wherein the connection device further includes a locking pin to releasable attach the bracket to the coupling element.
13. The seating area divider of claim 12 , wherein the locking pin is guided through holes formed through the clamp and an opening arranged centric in the bearing element.
14. The seating area divider of claim 13 , wherein the connection device further includes a locking bolt arranged in the opening to secure the locking pin against the clamp.
15. An aircraft cabin, comprising:
a cabin floor;
a plurality of seat units; and
a seating area divider comprising:
a privacy divider screen; and
a carrier device including a base member including a vertical beam to support the privacy divider screen on the cabin floor, the vertical beam having a plurality of through holes, and at least one connection device detachably mounted to the vertical beam to couple the base member to a seat furniture structure, the at least one connection device including a bracket mounted on the seat furniture structure, and at least one coupling element mounted to the base member in a releasable locking engagement with the bracket, wherein the coupling element has two free ends extending on opposite lateral sides of the vertical beam, and a tie rod portion coupling both free ends.
16. The aircraft cabin of claim 15 , wherein the tie rod portion is guided through one of the through holes of the vertical beam.
17. The aircraft cabin of claim 15 , wherein the free ends each comprise a bearing element.
18. The aircraft cabin of claim 17 , wherein the bracket comprises a first bracket portion mounted to the seat furniture structure, and a second bracket portion configured as a clamp to receive one of the bearing elements.
19. The aircraft cabin of claim 18 , wherein the connection device further includes a locking pin to releasable attach the bracket to the coupling element.
20. The aircraft cabin of claim 19 , wherein the locking pin is guided through holes formed through the clamp and an opening arranged centric in the bearing element.
