Benefits of technology

This patent aims to provide a lighter and more flexible connection system for functional elements in structures such as vehicles. The invention uses a plurality of frame devices that can be easily replaced without connecting them, providing more flexibility. The connections between the frame devices are designed to withstand loads of 16 g in each direction, and the forces affecting functional elements are reduced by connecting them in multiple planes. This results in a lighter and more efficient connection system that meets current safety standards.

Problems solved by technology

The opening of the stowage bins is typically above the aisle orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the fuselage, so that the passengers interfere themselves.
This results in inefficient turnaround time and the poor access to the belongings during the flight.

Embodiment Construction

[0070]Similar or relating components in the several figures are provided with the same reference numerals. The view in the figures is schematic and not fully scaled.

[0071]FIGS. 1 to 3 illustrate schematic views of exemplary embodiments of the present invention. A module for an aircraft is shown, wherein the aircraft having a fuselage structure 6 and a floor element 5. The floor element 5 defining a floor plane. The module comprises a frame device 2 wherein the frame device 2 is adapted for mounting a functional element 4. The frame device 2 is adapted for attachment to the floor element 5 of the aircraft at a first location 7 in the floor plane and wherein the frame device 2 is adapted for attachment to the fuselage structure 6 of the aircraft at a second location 7′. The second location 7′ is thereby not in the floor plane.

[0072]It is further illustrated a rail element 8 whereby the frame device 2 can be fixed relocatable respectively movable to the rail 8. By using as shown an air...
