  • Patent number: 5129597
    Abstract: A ceiling baggage storage combination with lighting fixtures for an aircraft passenger cabin with two lengthwise aisles, has a central and two side baggage storage compartments. The ceiling is made of individual curved ceiling elements that extend approximately between the upper edges of the baggage storage compartments. The combination has tube-shaped fluorescent lamps arranged in a direction lengthwise to the aircraft on a respective ceiling element. The ceiling element (5, 11) is curved approximately as a parabola, whereby the less strongly curved zone extends toward the fluorescent lamp (6) which is partly covered by a cover, so that primarily indirect light enters into the cabin. A reflector (7) is arranged on the side of the fluorescent lamp (6) that faces away from and approximately parallel to the ceiling element (5, 11). The reflector (7) reflects the light emanating from the fluorescent lamp (6) primarily toward the ceiling element (5).
