Abstract
Apparatus and methods to attach an object to an overhead section of a cabin of an aircraft. An example apparatus includes a bracket to be positioned between rails in a cabin of an aircraft. The bracket includes edges having first attachment points to align with second attachment points of each of the rails. The bracket is positionable along a length of the rails by aligning the first attachment points of the bracket with a portion of the second attachment points of the rails. The bracket also includes flanges disposed between the edges. The flanges have respective third attachment points and fourth attachment points aligned to receive fasteners for hanging a device used in the cabin of the aircraft.
