ABSTRACT:
A quickly releasable stowage bin 108 mountable on one or more support panels 110, 110', or 110", affixed to the interior of an aircraft 100. In the installation of a single stowage bin 108, quickly releasable mounting mechanisms 146, and 158, 160, and 168, respectively affix the upper and lower portion of the stowage bin 108 to the upper and lower portion of a support panel or panels. Each support panel 110, 110', and 110" are initially aligned in the factory whereby a conversion of the aircraft 100 from freighter mode to full or partial passenger mode, results in a rapid, easy, secure, and quality installation of each stowage bin 108. The quickly releasable mounting mechanisms 146, and 158, 160, and 168, also facilitate the rapid and easy removal of each stowage bin 108 from within a compartment of the aircraft 100 during conversion of that compartment from passenger mode to freighter mode.
