[0051] The exemplary examples acknowledge and consider one or more different considerations. For example, the exemplary examples acknowledge and consider that commercial aircraft utilize internal compartments to store emergency equipment, passenger amenities, and other items that can be taken on board. The exemplary examples acknowledge and consider that in many cases, these compartments utilize seat rails within the aircraft for structural attachment. Often, the compartments are located above the seat rails, such that the floor fittings of the compartments are arranged perpendicular to the seat rails.

[0052] The illustrative example acknowledges and considers that in other cases, the fixed wall is located directly above the seat rail, which allows structural fittings to be oriented parallel to the seat rail. Typically, this type of compartment is accessed from the front (FWD) or rear (AFT) direction and not from the compartment's passageway surface. The illustrative example acknowledges and considers that in some cases, it is desirable to be able to access the compartment from the aircraft passageway. The illustrative example acknowledges and considers that in some cases, it is desirable to provide a compartment with a reduced width. The illustrative example acknowledges and considers that in some cases, it is desirable to provide a compartment with a reduced width while utilizing a common set of standard components.

[0053] Compared to compartments with conventional attachment systems, the illustrative example compartment may have a reduced width. The illustrative example compartment may have a door facing the passageway.

[0054] Now refer to the attached diagram, especially the reference... Figure 1 The illustration depicts an aircraft according to an exemplary embodiment. In this exemplary example, the aircraft 100 has wings 102 and 104 attached to a fuselage 106. The aircraft 100 includes an engine 108 attached to the wing 102 and an engine 110 attached to the wing 104.

[0055] The fuselage 106 has a tail section 112. Horizontal stabilizing surfaces 114, 116 and 118 are attached to the tail section 112 of the fuselage 106.

[0056] Aircraft 100 is an example platform in which a compartment with an attachment system having corner bracket fittings can be implemented according to an exemplary embodiment. Aircraft 100 is an example of an aircraft in which a compartment can be secured to a seat track using an attachment system with corner bracket fittings. The attachment system allows a compartment with a reduced width to be secured to a seat track in the fuselage 106 of aircraft 100. The attachment system also allows a compartment with a door facing the aisle to be secured to a seat track in the fuselage 106 of aircraft 100.

[0057] Go to Figure 2 The illustration depicts a compartment within an aircraft interior according to an exemplary embodiment. View 200 may be... Figure 1 A view inside the fuselage 106 of the aircraft 100. In view 200, a compartment 202 is mounted on seat rails 204 within the cabin 206. Passenger seats 208 are also mounted on seat rails 204. The door 210 of the compartment 202 faces the passageway 212 of the cabin 206. In some exemplary examples, the compartment 202 has a reduced width compared to a conventional compartment.

[0058] Go to Figure 3 This illustration depicts a front perspective view of a compartment and seat track according to an exemplary embodiment. The compartment 300 can be used in... Figure 1 Inside the fuselage 106 of aircraft 100. In some illustrative examples, compartment 300 and Figure 2 It is the same as compartment 202.

[0059] The compartment 300 is mounted on the seat track 302. The compartment door 304 is parallel to the seat track 302. The kick plate 306 between the door 304 and the seat track 302 is positioned to cover the components of the attachment system 308 that mounts the compartment 300 to the seat track 302. The kick plate 306 enhances the aesthetics of the compartment 300 by concealing the components of the attachment system.

[0060] The compartment 300 has a panel 310 and a panel 312. The panel 310 is attached to the panel 312 and the floor (not visible) by means of the attachment system 308.

The filler plate 412 is secured between the right corner bracket fitting 408 and the left corner bracket fitting 410 to enclose compartment 402.

[0064] The infill panel 412 allows the width 420 of the compartment 402 to be adjustable. The width 420 of the compartment 402 can be adjusted by replacing the infill panel 412 with an infill panel of a different width than the width 422 of the infill panel 412. When adjusting the width 420 of the compartment 402, doors and floors of different widths will be used.
