Carrier system for receiving components
A carrier system for receiving a component comprises a bottom plate integrated in the design of a conventional ball mat in order to introduce forces, e.g., acting on the ball mat, into the structure, for example an aircraft structure.
1. A carrier system for receiving a component, the carrier system comprising
a bottom plate;
a member secured to the bottom plate for receiving the component;
an attachment device rigidly connected with the bottom plate to secure the component in such a manner that forces acting on the component are guided into the carrier system;
wherein the attachment device comprises a base which is rigidly connected with the bottom plate, into which base a screw is screwable in order to secure the component or the carrier system to an aircraft structure; and
wherein the attachment device comprises a spring, which generates an elastic force when screwing in the screw counteracting a screwing direction of the screw.
2. Carrier system according to claim 1 , wherein the base of the attachment device is riveted to the bottom plate.
3. Carrier system according to claim 1 , wherein the member is a milled part for receiving the component, and is riveted to the bottom plate.
4. Carrier system according to claim 3 , wherein the milled part has a C-profile for receiving at least one of the group consisting of locking components and guiding elements.
5. Carrier system according to claim 4 , wherein the milled part has a ball mat-profile for receiving transport elements.
6. Carrier system according to claim 1 , further comprising a cover sheet to form an enclosed surface of the carrier system.
