Abstract: A storage compartment for the overhead region of a passenger cabin of a passenger aircraft has a carrier which can be mounted in the passenger aircraft, and a pivoting part for receiving a storage item. The pivoting part is mounted on the carrier so as to be pivotable about a pivot axis in a pivoting region between an open position and a closing position. The storage compartment further contains a closing force module. The closing force module contains a switching module by which the closing force module can be brought into an active state or into a passive state. In the active state, a greater closing moment is brought about in the direction of the closing position on the pivoting part by the closing force module, at least in a partial region of the pivoting region, than in the passive state. The closing force module is configured free from electricity with respect to the generation of the closing moment and/or with respect to the switching over between the active state and passive state.

Abstract: A component for guiding an airflow in an air-conditioning system of an aircraft includes at least one structural part, at least one inlet opening and at least one outlet opening for air. At least two partial shells are interconnected in an airtight manner in such a way that the inlet openings and the outlet openings remain clear. The partial shells are particle foam parts. A method for producing the component incudes forming the partial shells of particle foam, and interconnecting the partial shells to form the component.

Abstract: A tongue module for a partition, which can be mounted underneath a storage compartment in a passenger cabin of a passenger aircraft, has a base support, which can be attached to a fixed section of the partition. The fixed section can be mounted in the passenger cabin. The tongue module has a tongue, which is guided on the base support in such a way as to be movable, and a guiding device for the tongue. The guiding device has a first guiding section for the translational movement of the tongue between a release position and an intermediate position. A second guiding section is provided for the rotation of the tongue about a rotational axis between the intermediate position and a closed position.
