Abstract

A device for introducing forces into a luggage compartment and for transferring and/or distributing the forces and/or stresses in vehicles, particularly in fast traveling vehicles such as aircraft, ground vehicles and watercraft, e.g. express trains, speedboats and the like, has a ceiling-side connecting element arranged between extensions of end-side side walls of the luggage compartment. The device has a simple design and can be economically produced. The invention provides for the introduction of the forces into the luggage compartment via the ceiling-side connecting element, configured, for example, as a strip that distributes forces for stresses.
