ABSTRACT:
A passenger service apparatus in a passenger cabin, especially of an aircraft, includes a service module having comfort and service elements such as reading lamps, flight attendant call buttons, loudspeakers, air nozzles, and the like. The service module is mounted on a spring-biased yielding support arm below the bottom shell of an overhead baggage compartment. An end of the support arm is mounted on the cabin wall and extends generally inwardly toward the middle of the cabin, to position the service module generally centrally above the passenger seats that are to be served by the service module. Connector lines such as electrical conductors and air conduits run along the support arm to connect the service module to a service channel extending along the length of the passenger cabin and including electrical conductors, an air duct, and the like. When the bottom shell of the overhead baggage compartment is lowered to open the baggage compartment, the service module yields downward on the spring-biased support arm while remaining fully functional and reachable by the corresponding passengers at all times, and without hindering the opening of the baggage compartment.
