ABSTRACT:
A safety mechanism for an overhead aircraft luggage bin for preventing baggage from falling from the bin when the door cover of the bin is opened. The safety mechanism includes a roll-up screen mounted on the door cover which cooperates with a latch mounted on the lower edge of the opening to the bin. The latch and roll-up screen mechanism are operatively associated whereby when the door cover is in covered or closed position, the screen is rolled up and latched to the latch. When the door cover is moved to the uncovered position the screen is unrolled and covers the opening to the bin to prevent any luggage from falling from the housing. The screen can be unlatched so as to remove the screen from the opening.
