Abstract
A fastening system for passenger seats in a vehicle cabin has two or more guide rails to be integrated into or onto a cabin floor, and a plurality of slides, to be brought into engagement with the guide rails and having a flange for connection to a passenger seat to retain the passenger seat on a guide rail. Each guide rail has a profile cross section, perpendicularly to a main axis of extent (x), having a base region, a supporting region and an undercut situated therebetween. Each slide has a cavity, of complementary design with the profile cross section, and a necked region, to be brought into engagement with the undercut, thus enabling the supporting region to be enclosed by the cavity of the slide. Each slide has a rotatably mounted roller projecting into the necked region and can be brought into surface contact with a guide rail surface.
