Abstract

An installation arrangement comprising a first carrier element configured to fasten an overhead luggage compartment thereto. The first element includes a main body comprising a tubular opening, a barrel-shaped component arranged inside the tubular opening, the component comprising a through hole extending substantially perpendicular to a component longitudinal axis, and a fastener to fasten a portion of the overhead luggage compartment to the main body of the first carrier element. A second carrier element of the arrangement is a rotary joint connectable to an installation rail, the rotary joint being movable around a longitudinal axis of the installation rail and an axis perpendicular to that longitudinal axis. The installation arrangement also comprises a rod configured to be coupled with the second carrier element and to fit inside the through hole, wherein the rod is connectable to the first carrier element when the rod is arranged inside the through hole.
