  • Device for attaching an aircraft monument
    Patent number: 8727686
    Abstract: An aircraft monument mounting system is disclosed having a rail adapted to support a monument panel thereon, the rail including a recess for receiving an attachment device from below. The attachment device comprises a threaded fastener such as a poppet, a lock nut, an eccentric washer, and a thumbwheel. Rotation of the thumbwheel causes the eccentric washer to move the panel laterally, and the lock nut can raise or lower the panel, providing flexibility as to the positioning of the panel without disrupting the attachment point to the aircraft structure.
