Abstract
The invention relates to an aircraft seat attachment (100) including a body (20), a plunger (30), and an activation lever (50). The activation lever (50) includes a locking system (54) adapted to go from an open position corresponding to a free state of the activation lever (50) to a closed position corresponding to a locked state of the activation lever (50). The attachment also enables, in a locked state of said attachment, clamping of a seat rail between at least one boss (22) of said body (20) and the plunger (30), which includes a system (41) for maintaining by friction a force clamping the attachment to the rail in the locked state so that the activation lever (50) does not participate in maintaining said clamping force.
