Abstract

See full text

An overhead bin in an aircraft includes a liner disposed on an underside of a cabin ceiling and a receptacle that protrudes through an opening in the liner. A bin has a top side with at least one attachment point that includes: a stud mechanically coupled to the top side and a screw disposed within the stud. The stud includes a rounded flange configured to insert into the receptacle for removably securing the bin beneath the liner. An installation method for an overhead bin in an aircraft includes raising the overhead bin to engage the stud with the receptacle, sliding the overhead bin outboard for inserting the stud into the receptacle, and turning a screw within the stud for tightening the stud within the receptacle for securing the overhead bin beneath the ceiling.
