Abstract

A holding device ( 10 ) is provided for use during the installation of a component ( 60 ) to be fastened vertically to a support structure ( 50 ) such as that of an aircraft, for example a cabin sidewall lining part. The holding device ( 10 ) includes a hook ( 12 ) and an eyelet ( 14 ) receiving the hook, the hook and eyelet being designed so that they can be fastened to the support structure ( 50 ) or the component ( 60 ). The eyelet ( 14 ) has at least one elastically resilient element for the movable mutual support of the eyelet ( 14 ) and hook ( 12 ). The holding device ( 10 ) facilitates the fastening of a perpendicularly installed component ( 60 ). The elastically resilient element allows the component ( 60 ) to be pre-positioned in a nominal position.

Claims (5)

1. Holding device for installation of a component to be fastened to a support structure, comprising a hook ( 12 ) and a ring eyelet ( 14 ) that receives the hook ( 12 ), the hook and eyelet are fastenable to the support structure ( 50 ) and to the component ( 60 ), respectively, and the ring eyelet ( 14 ) has at least one elastically resilient element ( 30 ) for a movable, mutual support of the ring eyelet ( 14 ) and the hook ( 12 ), wherein the opening ( 32 ) for the insertion of the hook ( 12 ) is formed in a guide element ( 34 ), wherein the guide element ( 34 ) is made from an oscillation-damping material.

2. Holding device for installation of a component to be fastened to a support structure, comprising a hook ( 12 ) and a ring eyelet ( 14 ) that receives the hook ( 12 ), the hook and eyelet are fastenable to the support structure ( 50 ) and to the component ( 60 ), respectively, and the ring eyelet ( 14 ) has at least one elastically resilient element ( 30 ) for a movable, mutual support of the ring eyelet ( 14 ) and the hook ( 12 ), wherein the opening ( 32 ) for the insertion of the hook ( 12 ) is formed in a guide element ( 34 ), wherein the guide element ( 34 ) is made from an oscillation-damping material and the elastically resilient element ( 30 ) is a coil spring.

3. Holding device according to claim 2 , wherein the elastically resilient element ( 30 ) has a spring stiffness tuned to a component weight to be held for positioning of the component ( 60 ) in a nominal position.

4. Holding device for installation of a component to be fastened to a support structure, comprising a hook ( 12 ) and a ring eyelet ( 14 ) that receives the hook ( 12 ), the hook and eyelet are fastenable to the support structure ( 50 ) and to the component ( 60 ), respectively, and the ring eyelet ( 14 ) has at least one elastically resilient element ( 30 ) for a movable, mutual support of the ring eyelet ( 14 ) and the hook ( 12 ), wherein the opening ( 32 ) for the insertion of the hook ( 12 ) is formed in a guide element ( 34 ), wherein the guide element ( 34 ) is made from an oscillation-damping material and the elastically resilient element ( 30 ) is an elastically deformable filler.

5. Holding device according to claim 1 , wherein the elastically resilient element ( 30 ) has a spring stiffness tuned to a component weight to be held for positioning of the component ( 60 ) in a nominal position.
