ABSTRACT:
In order to provide a container 1 having a door 2, in particular a luggage compartment for aircraft, the door 2 being mounted via at least one hinge or the like on the container 1 such that it can pivot, having an apparatus for assisting the movement of the door 2 into the open position and for holding the door 2 in the open position, and having an apparatus for holding the door 2 in the closed position, in the case of which container the structural components have as small a physical size as possible and thus occupy as little volume in the container 1 as possible. It is provided that the apparatus for assisting the movement of the door 2 and, possibly, an apparatus for damping the movement of the door 2 are arranged essentially around the pivoting axis of the door 2. The components relating to this are ideally integrated in the or each hinge. The damping of the movement of the door 2 advantageously reduces as the opening angle .alpha. of the door 2 increases or as the rate at which the door 2 is opened reduces.
