Abstract
A retrofit bezel assembly to be installed within an interior of an aircraft, the aircraft having overhead stowage bins with shelves. The bezel assembly is constructed as a unit for installation in place of an existing bezel assembly. Each bezel assembly unit includes a ceiling panel, four bulkhead extensions, and two shelf extensions. The ceiling panel substantially spans and covers the upper surface of the interior of the aircraft from a right-side stowage bin to a left-side stowage bin. The bulkhead extensions are attached to the corners of the ceiling panel. They extend downwardly adjacent the interior ends of the sides of the stowage bins. The bulkhead extensions are configured to attach to inside ends of the bin shelves with fasteners through existing holes. Bin doors are attached to the bulkhead extensions. The door contour cross section matches the shape of the interior sides of the bulkhead extensions. Each of the shelf extensions is attached between two bulkhead extensions to be fastened to an interior end of a bin shelf. The shelf extensions extend the width of the bin shelves.
