Abstract

Extensions for carry-on luggage storage bins in cabins of aircraft, trains, ships, and the like, that increase bin storage capacity. The extensions are adapted to be mounted on a frontal opening of an existing luggage bin. The extensions include a substantially planar rectangular base having vertical bulkheads at opposite farthest-apart ends thereof, and a substantially planar top portion extending between upper ends of the bulkhead to form a rectangular box shape with open from and rear. The rear of the extension is adapted to be mounted onto the frontal opening of the bin, thereby extending the lateral dimensions of the bin, while the front of the extension may be supplied with a door.
