A fastening system (10) for hanging mountable overhead containers (12) is provided. The system includes at least one pair of support lugs (20, 22) mounted on a support structure (14) or on the overhead container (12). The support lugs (20, 22) can be detachably connected to each other by a pin (30) that can be drawn back in a pin guide (40) and thereby spring-loaded in the exit direction. When the support lug (22) attached to the overhead container (12) is inserted into the support lug (20) having the pin guide (40) when installing the container, the pin (30) is unlatched in the pin guide (40) and automatically moves out into the support eye (22) attached to the overhead container (12). Using a lever joined (60) to the pin guide (40) by a hinge, the pin (30) can be moved out completely into an end position, and locked in said position. In order to remove the overhead container (12), the lever (60) must simply be pivoted back. |

1. A fastening system (10) for mounting hanging overhead containers (12) to an aircraft, the fastening system (10) comprising:
at least one pair of support lugs (20, 22), wherein one support lug (20) is attached to a support structure of the aircraft while the other support lug (22) is attached to the overhead container (12); a pin (30) for interconnecting the at least one pair of support lugs (20, 22), wherein the pin (30) is moveable between a retracted position and an extended position and comprises a recess (44); receptacle sleeves (26, 86) for the pin (30), wherein one receptacle sleeve (26) is attached to the one support lug (20) while the other receptacle sleeve (86) is attached to the other support lug (22), and wherein the receptacle sleeves (26, 86) are flush with each other in a mounted position of the overhead container (12); a pin guide (40) for the pin (30), wherein the pin guide (40) is attached to one of the at least one pair of support lugs (20, 22); and a lever (60) for manual retraction of the pin (30) into the retracted position and for manual extension of the pin (30) into the extended position;wherein the fastening system further comprises:
a compression spring (34) arranged in the pin guide (40) for biasing the pin (30) in a direction of the extended position when the pin (30) is in the retracted position; a locking element (42) for locking the pin (30) in the retracted position, wherein the locking element (42) is movable in a direction transverse to the pin (30), and wherein the locking element (42) engages into the recess (44) for locking the pin (30); and a release bracket (46) that includes the locking element (42), wherein the release bracket (46) is supported for movement on one of the at least one pair of support lugs (20, 22) and is displaced into an unlock position by the other one of the at least one pair of support lugs (20, 22) when the receptacle sleeves (26, 86) are flush with each other; wherein the pin (30) detachably interconnects the at least one pair of support lugs (20, 22), and wherein the locking element (42) releases the pin (30) by disengaging from the recess (44) when the release bracket (46) is displaced into the unlock position, such that the pin (30) biased by the compression spring (34) automatically extends into the receptacle sleeve of the support lug that displaced the release bracket (46) into the unlock position. |
