Abstract

Luggage storing bins in an aircraft passenger cabin are suspended from rigid mounting brackets by cooperating first and second securing elements forming part of the carriers and of bin end walls. The securing elements, such as holes, cooperate with connector members such as threaded bolts and nuts, whereby the bins can be secured to the respective bracket in different elevational positions to vary a cabin layout in accordance with airline requirements. Gaps between the cabin ceiling cover panels and the bins are covered by overlaps and/or additional moldings to accommodate different elevational bin positions.
