Abstract

An overhead luggage compartment for aircraft can be constructed as a fixed luggage compartment with a stationary housing and a pivotable flap, or as a lowerable luggage compartment with a lowerable tray, a stationary part having side walls and a movable part which is pivotable between a closed and an open position and has a closure element for retaining the movable part in the closed position. Those parts define a luggage-receiving space. Two fastening devices for fastening to a supporting structure of the aircraft on the side walls of the stationary part are disposed on the stationary part. At least one further fastening device is disposed in the region of the lower side of the rear side of the stationary part. The fastening devices are the same for the fixed luggage compartment and for the lowerable luggage compartment.
