  • Publication number: 20120223188
    Abstract: A fastening device for connecting two overhead storage compartment elements of an aircraft is provided. A passenger service channel (PSC) extends in the overhead storage compartment elements which comprises coupling elements on the sides of the overhead storage compartment elements to be connected, said coupling elements having to be aligned with one another without being subjected to loading. For easy mountability on a first fastening element a connecting plate is arranged in a longitudinally movable manner. In the delivered state of the overhead storage compartment elements, the connecting plate is already connected to the fastening element and pushed beneath the lower face of the overhead storage compartment element, so that it does not protrude thereover and does not interfere when the overhead storage compartment element is handled before attaching to the cabin ceiling.
