Abstract: Disclosed herein is an asymmetric luggage stowage bin arrangement, with a pair of compartments attached to a single bin housing. The compartments being unequal in length, to optimize the storage capacity of the bin housing relative to the most common luggage dimensions on the market. In one form, the asymmetric luggage stowage bin arrangement is used as a retrofit to replace shelf-style luggage stowage compartments common to older style aircraft.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a divider providing part of a separation between sections of a passenger cabin of a commercial aircraft, the divider comprising several components. One component may be a support arm connected to the frame of an aircraft above a passenger seat, the support arm having an outer edge facing the aisle of the passenger cabin, and an inner edge which is adjacent the face of a luggage compartment when the bucket is in an open position. Another component may be a curtain attached to a lower edge of the support arm and projecting vertically below the support arm. Yet another component may be a rigid view block adjacent the face of the compartment and configured to reposition such that the view block is adjacent the face of the compartment while the compartment is in a closed position, and repositions when the compartment is opened.

Abstract: A pull-down stowage bin assembly (10) for a vehicle includes a frame (14), a bin (12) coupled to the frame for reciprocative movement between an open position and a stowed position, and a restraint assembly (20) disposed within the bin to selectively restrain objects located within the bin when objects are located in the bin and the bin is in the open position.
