ABSTRACT:
A bag-rack mounted on an aircraft ceiling has a handrail secured to a recessed lower front portion thereof by a mount which also spaces the handrail from the bag-rack. The handrail is dimensionally shaped to conform to the inner surface contours of a user's hand and the recessed portion is curved to accommodate the back of the user's hand when reach into the recessed area to grip the handrail. The handrail also has an electroluminescent panel light mounted in a channel therein. The channel and light are positioned so that the light illuminates the recessed portion of the bag-rack and back-illuminates the handrail. The back-illumination of the handrail and the color contrast between the bag-rack and handrail provide visual differentiation between the handrail and bag-rack as well as other nearby structures enabling the user to more easily discern the handrail from other vehicle structures.
