A device for fastening a first part to a second part, particularly for
fastening a lining element in the interior of a vehicle, for example an
aircraft, is provided with at least one fastening element connectable with
the first part and releasably attachable to the second part. The fastening
element is provided with a locking element that is supported on the
fastening element so as to be movable between a disengaged position in
which the fastening element is able to be set to the second part and to be
detached therefrom, and a pre-locking position in which the fastening
element is held at the second part. Further, the fastening element
comprises an actuating element for moving the locking element between the
disengaged position and the pre-locking position. The fastening element is
further provided with a first biasing element for biasing the locking
element into the pre-locking position thereof, and a trigger element
comprising at least one retaining projection for the locking element, the
trigger element being supported on the fastening element between a
retaining position in which the at least one retaining projection retains
the locking element in the disengaged position thereof, and a releasing
position in which the at least one retaining projection releases the
locking element for moving into the pre-locking position. The trigger
element is provided for abutting on the second part upon setting the
