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 (cable14) to the luggage compartment (10). The force assistance device (12) is the sole force assistance device acting upon the luggage compartment (10). In order to be able to enlarge the useful volume of the luggage compartment (10) without increasing its external dimensions and in order to combine improved maintainability with weight saving, the force assistance device takes the form of a force assistance module (12) with its own housing (24), in which a spring system generates the assistance force, and the force provided by the force assistance device is transmitted by means of a single flexible force-transmitting device to the luggage compartment (10).
