Abstract: The invention relates to a lowerable luggage compartment (10), in particular for a passenger aircraft, having a pneumatic pressure spring (16) connected to the luggage compartment. In order to be able to latch the luggage compartment (10) in an elegant manner in its closed position, the pneumatic pressure spring (16) is a rigidly blockable pneumatic pressure spring with an externally controllable valve for selectively opening or shutting off the hydraulic system of the pneumatic pressure spring, and the hydraulic system of the pneumatic pressure spring (16) is shut off by means of the valve in the closed position of the luggage compartment (10).

Abstract: The invention relates to a force assistance module (10) for providing a load-dependent assistance force, in particular for a lowerable overhead luggage compartment in an aircraft, comprising a housing (18), a spring system for generating the assistance force, of which spring system one end is coupled pivotally about an axis (Z) in the housing (18) and the other, opposite end defines a force application point (P), a force-transmitting device fastened to or in the vicinity of the force application point (P) for transmitting assistance force to a location remote from the force assistance module, a support (36), which is mounted rotatably in the housing (18) and on which a path (40) is provided, along which the force application point (P) is displaceable back and forth between a first end point (A) and a second end point (B), and an adjusting device (52), which interacts with the support (36) and a load sensor and which as a function of the load detected by the load sensor rotates the support (36) in order to var

Abstract: A lowerable luggage compartment (10); in particular for a passenger aircraft, comprises a force assistance device (12) disposed behind the back of the luggage compartment (10) for providing an assistance force during opening and/or closing of the luggage compartment (10). The force provided by the force assistance device (12) is transmitted by means of a flexible force-transmitting device (cable 14) to the luggage compartment (10). The force assistance device (12) is the sole force assistance device acting upon the luggage compartment (10).
