Embodiment Construction

[0019] [19] The luggage rack 2 shown in the figure is a rack pivotally installed around a pivot shaft 4 . What is meant here is the luggage rack 2 installed in the passenger cabin of the aircraft. The luggage rack is mounted in the upper part of the cabin, above a not-shown passenger seat. The pivot axis 4 is the longitudinal axis relative to the aircraft cabin. The roof 6 of the cabin can be seen in the figure.

[0020] [20] The luggage rack 2 has a lower outer surface 8 , a bottom 10 , an upper surface 12 and some side walls 14 . The overall shape of the luggage rack is approximately a parallelepiped with a circular lower surface. The surface opposite to the bottom 10 is a completely open surface.

[0021] [21] In Fig. 1, the luggage rack 2 is shown in its closed position. The luggage rack is thus stowed in the roof 6 of the aircraft cabin. Inside the roof, a fixed flap 16 will close the open face of the luggage rack opposite the bottom 10 . As shown, the fixed cover ...

Abstract

The invention relates to a bin for luggage (2), comprising a compartment having a lower external face (8), an upper face (12), an open face for accessing the compartment and a base (10). The inventive bin is mounted such that it can pivot about a pivot axis (4) between an open position in which the open face of the compartment can be accessed and in which the rear part (26) of the lower external face (8) is concealed and a closed position in which the open face of the compartment is retracted and in which the rear part (26) of the lower external face (8) is visible. The aforementioned rear part (26) takes the form of a cylinder having generatrices (34, 36) that are essentially parallel to the pivot axis (4) of the bin. Moreover, the distance (R1, R2) from the pivot axis (4) to the generatrices (R1, R2) increases from the base (10) of the compartment towards the open face of same.

Description

technical field [0001] [01] The present invention relates to a pivoting luggage rack, in particular for aircraft cabins. [0002] [02] The technical field of the invention is the transport of passengers in aircraft. During travel, passenger luggage is placed in the luggage compartment of the aircraft, while lighter luggage can be placed with the passenger in the aircraft cabin. In the passenger compartment there is provided a storage space for the luggage, also referred to as hand luggage. Most often, these storage spaces are provided in the upper part of the aircraft cabin, under the roof of the cabin and above the seats for receiving passengers. Background technique [0003] [03] As mentioned above, there are two types of storage devices for storing luggage. On the one hand a luggage compartment and on the other hand a luggage rack. A luggage compartment is a compartment that is fixed relative to the aircraft cabin, and usually a pivoting door enables the opening and c...
