AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing aircraft overhead storage bin latches are prone to reliability issues due to foreign material entry and soft goods entrapment between the striker and catch, leading to inoperability and damage.
Method used
A sub-assembly incorporating a latch pawl, down stop pin, latch activator bolt, override lever, pivot point, and latch lever onto a plate, with a snubber and striker pin on a separate plate, forming integrated sub-assemblies that reduce misalignment and potential contact with foreign materials.
Benefits of technology
Enhances reliability by minimizing misalignment and contact with foreign materials, reducing part count, and simplifying manufacturing, while maintaining smooth operation of the bin's opening and closing mechanism.
