  • Aircraft cabin panel and insulation retainer with integrated use as a spacer-isolator
    Patent number: 4739955
    Abstract: A mounting assembly for the insulation and interior panels of an aircraft. The mounting assembly includes an upper retainer for securing the upper edge of the cabin panel to the aircraft, and a lower releasable latch assembly which connects the lower end of the cabin panel to the aircraft. The curved aircraft panels, which are made of a resilient bendable material, are installed so that the panels are further resiliently bent into a tensioned state which acts to resiliently engage the panels between the upper retainer and the lower latch assembly. A shock absorber and insulation retainer is attached to the aircraft between the aircraft frame and the cabin panel to prevent vibration of the cabin panel and to secure the insulation between the aircraft panel and the aircraft frame.
