Patent ID: 8156628

Claim:
A holding device for use in an aircraft comprising: a decoupling attenuator coupled to a first cabin trim component such that transmission of mechanical vibrations from a second component to the first cabin trim component are attenuated by the decoupling attenuator, when the first cabin trim component is coupled to the second component by the holding device; and a magnetically coupled member releasably coupling the first trim component to the second component such that the holding device decouples the first trim component and the second component when acted on by a magnetic force, providing the holding device with a holding mode and a release mode; and wherein the holding device further comprises a housing, a spring element, and a pair of securing elements, wherein the spring element and the securing elements are movably arranged in the housing such that the pair of securing elements are tiltably movable against a spring force of the spring element, which biases the securing elements in an axial direction of the spring element such that the securing elements couple the first trim component and the second trim component in the holding mode and decouples the first trim component and the second trim component in the release mode, when the securing elements are tilted against the spring force.
