Abstract

The general field of the invention is that of the display devices comprising a rectangular display screen, said display device compatible with an aeronautical standard for mechanical interfacing with an instrument panel, said standard being defined by fixing positions and fixing means at said positions. The display device according to the invention comprises:
two identical removable mechanical bars of a length equal to the length of the screen, each bar being arranged under one of the long sides of the screen, each bar comprising:
first fixing means at said defined fixing positions, said first fixing means arranged so as to fix said bar on the instrument panel; two fixing holes, each fixing hole arranged at one of the ends of said bar,
second fixing means making it possible to fix the display device in the four fixing holes of the two bars.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A display device comprising at least one rectangular display screen, said display device compatible with an aeronautical standard for mechanical interfacing with an instrument panel, said aeronautical standard comprising “ARINC 739” entitled “Multi Purpose Control and Display Unit and Interfaces”, and said aeronautical standard being defined at least by fixing positions and fixing devices at said fixing positions, wherein the display device comprises:
two identical removable mechanical bars of a length substantially equal to a length of the at least one rectangular display screen, each bar being arranged under one of the long sides of the at least one rectangular display screen, each bar comprising:
three first fixing devices of identical “quarter-turn” screw type, a first fixing device situated at a first end of the bar, a second fixing device situated at a center of the bar, and a third fixing device situated at a second end of the bar, said three first fixing devices arranged so as to fix said bar on the instrument panel, and
two fixing holes, each fixing hole arranged at one of the ends of said bar;

second fixing devices to fix the display device in the four fixing holes of the two bars.
