ABSTRACT:
The invention is an overhead stowage bin mechanism particularly adapted for use in passenger airplanes. In the preferred embodiment, each end of the bin is supported by a pair of pivoted arms of unequal length so proportioned that the bin moves from its stowed position downward and slightly forward, at the same time tilting slightly for ease of access. The arms interengage in the down position to increase rigidity. A spring cartridge is connected to each of the upper arms to counterbalance the weight of the bin, and also is arranged to hold the bin in the down position. The upper arms are interconnected by a torque tube, and a snubbing device is also included in the mechanism.
