Connection of cabin components, cabin component and method for connecting cabin components

1. A connection device for a plurality of cabin components of an aircraft comprising:

a rail extending in a longitudinal direction of an aircraft structure, wherein the plurality of cabin components are disposed on the rail via at least one suspension device so as to allow a sliding movement of the cabin components in the longitudinal direction and a linear lifting movement of the cabin components in a vertical direction of the aircraft structure orthogonal to the longitudinal direction; and

a plurality of adjustment devices configured to self-adjust each of the plurality of cabin components in the longitudinal direction.

2. The connection device as recited in claim 1 , wherein the plurality of cabin components includes a plurality of hatracks.

3. The connection device as recited in claim 1 , wherein the at least one adjustment spike is disposed on one of the plurality of cabin components, and wherein the at least one receiving device is disposed on the aircraft structure.

4. The connection device as recited in claim 3 , wherein the plurality of adjustment devices includes an adjustment strip extending parallel to the rail, and wherein the at least one receiving device is disposed in the adjustment strip.

5. The connection device as recited in claim 1 , wherein the at least one adjustment spike is configured to be moved in an adjustment position one of automatically and manually.

6. The connection device as recited in claim 1 , wherein the at least one adjustment spike is configured to bear a load in the longitudinal direction.

7. The connection device as recited in claim 1 , wherein the plurality of adjustment devices is configured to adjust an inclination of each of the plurality of cabin components.

8. The connection device as recited in claim 1 , wherein the rail includes a hole pattern wit h a plurality of holes and each of the plurality of cabin components includes a fastening element, one of the plurality of holes receiving the fastening element.

9. The connection device as recited in claim 8 , wherein the plurality of holes includes a plurality of elongated holes configured to compensate for tolerances, the at least one adjustment device including at least one adjustment spike and at least one receiving device, wherein the at least one adjustment spike engages the at least one receiving device during the lifting movement of the cabin component.

10. A cabin component of an aircraft comprising:

at least one adjustment device for self-adjustment in a longitudinal direction of an aircraft structure, wherein the cabin component is disposed on a rail of the aircraft extending in the longitudinal direction; and

at least one suspension device configured to allow a sliding movement of the cabin component in the longitudinal direction and a linear lifting movement of the cabin component in a vertical direction of the aircraft structure orthogonal to the longitudinal direction, the plurality of adjustment devices including at least one adjustment spike and at least one receiving device, wherein the at least one adjustment spike engages the at least one receiving device during the lifting movement of the cabin components.

11. A method for connecting a plurality of cabin components comprising:

providing a rail extending in a longitudinal direction of an aircraft structure;

arranging the plurality of cabin components on the rail;

positioning the plurality of cabin components in a region of a desired position in the longitudinal direction by a sliding movement of the cabin components in the longitudinal direction and a linear lifting movement of the cabin components in a vertical direction of the aircraft structure orthogonal the longitudinal direction; and

operating a plurality of adjustment devices automatically or manually for self-adjustment of each of the plurality of cabin components.
