CONNECTING DEVICE
First Claim
1. An attachment system (10) for the detachable fastening of an interior-equipment part (20) to a support structure (30),comprising at least one plug-in holding mechanism (50) made from a socket part (52) and a connection pin (70) that can be latched detachably in the socket part, a structure bracket (40) withat least one connection arm (60) for fastening the plug-in holding mechanism (50) between the interior-equipment part (20) and the support structure (30),an electrical contact device (90) locatable between the connection arm (60) and the socket part (52),the connection arm (60) has a first and a second end part (61, 62), one of which (62) carries the connection pin (70),the connection arm (60) is dimensioned so that, when the connection pin (70) is latched detachably in the socket part (52), the connection arm (60) is in a first, normal position (120) in which the connection arm and the socket part (52) are in contact with each other in a dividing plane (80), and when the connection arm (60) is in a second position (125) rotated by 180°
- about its longitudinal axis, the connection arm (60) has a distance (A) from the dividing plane (80) that bridges or is bridgeable by the electrical contact device (90) to be arranged between the connection arm (60) and the socket part (52), using a different connection pin (75) that is attached on the connection arm (60) and is longer by the distance (A) than the one connection pin (70) is guided or guidable through the contact device (90) and is latched or latchable in the socket part (52),wherein a spacing of the structure bracket (40) from the socket part (52) in a direction of the connection pin (70) for a normal assembly of the connection arm (60) without placement of the electrical contact device (90) and for a 180°
rotated placement of the connection arm (60) with placement of the electrical contact device (90) remains the same, andthe structure bracket (40) is formed such that it includes a receiver that allows movement of the connection arm (60) between the first, normal position and the second position that is rotated by 180°

Abstract
A connecting device (10) is provided for releasably connecting a fitting piece, such as an interior lining, to a supporting structure, such as a fuselage. The connecting device (10) includes a plug-in holding mechanism (50) including a bushing piece (52) and a connecting pin (75) that can be releasably locked therein. A bent connecting arm (60), to which the connecting pin is fastened, is releasably fastened to a structural holder (40) mounted on the supporting structure. In one position, the connecting arm (60) is plugged into the structural holder (40) and is releasably locked therein. In a second position (125), in which the connecting arm (60) is rotated 180° about the longitudinal axis thereof, an electrical contact device (90) is additionally inserted between the connecting arm (60) and the bushing piece (52). Hence, the same structural holder (40) and the same connecting arm (60) allow the fitting piece and the supporting structure to be connected to one another with or without connecting a contact device (90) therebetween.
