Patent ID: 8668181

Claim:
A device for installing and attaching pieces of furniture to an aircraft floor, the device comprising: at least one rail extending longitudinally, said rail comprising: a lower flange along a transverse surface forming a lower bearing surface, an upper flange forming an upper bearing surface, at least one web connecting the lower flange and the upper flange, and an attachment interface flange forming an attachment interface made of an upper flat surface, said attachment interface being drilled by cylindrical through-holes regularly spaced according to a pitch of a multiple of 25.4 mm along the longitudinal axis, the upper surface of the attachment interface flange being located under the lower surface of the upper flange forming the upper bearing surface; at least one anchoring assembly configured to attach a piece of the furniture and the at least one rail, the anchoring assembly comprising at least one clamping device including at least two claws configured to be inserted into one of the through-holes in the attachment interface flange; and a locking system including at least one lever configured to operate the at least one clamping device, the locking system being configured to cause a lower portion of the at least two claws inserted into one of the through-holes to be clamped to attach the anchoring assembly to the attachment interface flange by the at least two claws engaging the attachment interface flange through the one through-hole and contacting a lower surface of the attachment interface flange adjacent the one through-hole by vertical movement of the lever of the locking system causing an upper portion of the at least two claws to engage notches within the at least one clamping device, in order to facilitate resistance to pull-out through the one through-hole in a vertical direction of the at least one clamping device with respect to the attachment interface flange.
