Description
10 BAGGAGE COMPARTMENT, IN PARTICULAR AN ENCLOSED COMPARTMENT
FOR AN AIRCRAFT CABIN
The present invention relates to a baggage compartment, in particular an enclosed compartment for an aircraft cabin.
This invention relates to the field of passenger transport, for example in an aircraft. During a trip, travelers' baggage, generally large-sized baggage, is placed in a hold or similar area, while smaller and relatively light baggage can accompany the travelers in the space - often called a cabin or compartment, depending on the mode of transport - in which they are traveling. In this space, storage compartments are provided for this smaller baggage, also called carry-on luggage.
In an aircraft, more often than not the compartments for carry-on luggage are arranged in the upper portion of the aircraft cabin, beneath the ceiling of this cabin and above the seats intended to accommodate the passengers.
In aircraft, there are two major types of baggage compartments such as described previously. On the one hand there are baggage bins and on the other hand baggage racks. A
baggage bin is a compartment fixed in relation to the aircraft cabin, and a door, generally pivoting, allows the opening and closing of access to the baggage compartment. A
baggage rack, for its part, also has a compartment intended to accommodate baggage and comprising an access. Here this compartment is a compartment movable between a first extended position in which access to the compartment is open, allowing the introduction and removal of baggage, and a position retracted inside the ceiling of the aircraft cabin, in which access to the compartment is closed.
This invention relates to these two types of baggage compartments and more generally any enclosed baggage compartment. The problem behind the present invention is to be able to determine whether an enclosed baggage compartment is occupied without having to open it and/or to be able to find a piece of baggage in a space for travelers more rapidly, without having to open several baggage compartments.
This concern is in line with increasing passenger comfort, in particular when the baggage compartments are arranged overhead and opening thereof is made difficult because of their position.
To this end, the invention proposes an enclosed baggage compartment arranged in a space intended to accommodate travelers in a vehicle, this compartment comprising at least one wall defining it and visible from the travelers' space within which it is located.
According to the invention, said wall comprises at least one opening closed off with a transparent material associated with concealing means making it possible to either see through said opening or conceal this opening, as desired.
In this way it is possible to see inside such a compartment without having to open it. In addition, the compartment remains enclosed since the openings are closed off. No object then can fall out of the compartment when the vehicle is in motion. In an aircraft, this is particularly advantageous, because it then becomes unnecessary to open all the baggage compartments prior to boarding of the passengers.

This concern is in line with increasing passenger comfort, in particular when the baggage compartments are arranged overhead and opening thereof is made difficult because of their position.
To this end, the invention proposes an enclosed baggage compartment arranged in a space intended to accommodate travelers in a vehicle, this compartment comprising at least one wall defining it and visible from the travelers' space within which it is located.
According to the invention, said wall comprises at least one opening closed off with a transparent material associated with concealing means making it possible to either see through said opening or conceal this opening, as desired.
In this way it is possible to see inside such a compartment without having to open it. In addition, the compartment remains enclosed since the openings are closed off. No object then can fall out of the compartment when the vehicle is in motion. In an aircraft, this is particularly advantageous, because it then becomes unnecessary to open all the baggage compartments prior to boarding of the passengers.
It is possible to check that the compartments are empty without opening them.
A compartment according to the invention also makes it possible for a passenger to see his baggage during the trip.
In this way he can retrieve it more easily in the course or at the end of the trip.
It also is possible to see through the opening implemented in the wall of the compartment or to conceal this opening, as desired. In the latter case, the concealing means preferably are such that the baggage compartment has a uniform appearance in the cabin. They can involve a curtain or a movable flap of the same color as the exterior of the baggage compartment so as to blend into the surroundings.
According to a preferred embodiment, these concealing means comprise a liquid crystal layer associated with means for subjecting this liquid crystal layer to an electric potential difference, this layer being opaque or translucent depending on the potential difference applied.
Said wall can comprise several openings in the form of slits spaced over the length of said wall, each of the slits being closed off with a transparent material. These multiple slits then make it possible to see clearly what is inside the baggage compartment over the entire length thereof.
In order better to see the inside of the compartment through the openings provided, the inner face of the wall advantageously comprises means for illumination of the inside of the compartment. These means comprise, for example, an light-emitting sheet.
The inner face of the wall provided with at least one opening preferably has at least one concave area, and the openings are arranged in this concave area. By virtue of the concave shape, the baggage, for the most part, does not reach the back of the concave area and thus forms a "bridge" over this concave area. By positioning the openings at this point, a space is left free between the inner face of the wall and the baggage. This makes it possible to see the inside of the compartment better through the openings. The illumination means, to the extent that they are provided, preferably shine into this area.
This invention also relates to an aircraft cabin and/or an aircraft, characterized in that they comprise at least one baggage compartment such as described above.
Other features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description, taken in conjunction with the accompanying schematic drawings in which:
Fig. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a baggage compartment according to the invention in its closed position, Fig. 2 shows a component of the compartment of Fig. 1, and Fig. 3 shows a perspective view on a reduced scale of a portion of the compartment of Fig. 1.
A baggage rack 2 of the type mounted in an aircraft cabin is seen in Figs. 1 and 3. It is a rack mounted so as to pivot around a pivot axis 4, and located, for example, in the upper portion of this cabin, above the passenger seats not depicted. A suitcase 6 is depicted inside this compartment in Fig. 1. The pivot axis 4 is a longitudinal axis with respect to the aircraft cabin.
The baggage rack 2 comprises a lower wall 8, a back 10, an upper wall 12 and side walls 14. The overall shape of this rack is more or less parallelepipedal with a rounded lower face. The face opposite the back 10 is an entirely open face.
When the baggage rack 2 is in its closed position, only the lower wall 8 thereof is visible from the cabin in which it is located. In the open position, this lower wall 8 is partially concealed and the face opposite the back 10, for its part, also is visible - and accessible - in order to make it possible to move baggage into or out of the baggage compartment.
The lower wall 8 of the baggage rack 2 comprises two 5 components: a rear panel 16 and a front portion 18.
The rear panel 16 has an elongated shape slightly curved along a longitudinal axis. It is connected to the back of the baggage rack 2. It is noted in Figs. 2 and 3 that this rear panel 16 is provided with a series of slits 20 10 distributed over the entire length of the panel. Each of these slits 20 forms an opening in the rear panel 16 that is closed off by a window pane 22 made of a transparent material, preferably of a synthetic material in order to avoid any problem of broken glass.
When the baggage rack 2 is closed, the slits 20 form fixed windows that make it possible to see inside the rack.
In a preferred embodiment, a liquid crystal layer covers each window pane 22 associated with a slit 20. Means for subjecting this liquid crystal layer to a potential difference then also are provided and this layer is opaque or translucent, depending on the potential difference applied.
For esthetic reasons, the color of this liquid crystal layer, when it is opaque, preferably corresponds to the color of the outer face of the rear panel 16. From the inside of the aircraft cabin, the rear panel 16 therefore has a uniform appearance when the window panes 22 of the slits 20 are made opaque.
The front portion 18 of the lower wall 8 is a molded part that extends so as to overlap the rear panel 16. The inner face 24 of the front portion 18 is substantially flat.
As for the outer face 26 of the front portion 18, it is of overall cylindrical shape and takes on the curvature of the rear panel 16, thus permitting a reliable assembly of the two components in order to form the lower wall 8. The outer face 26 of the front portion has a groove 28 that can be used as a handle for opening and closing the baggage rack 2.
In the embodiment depicted in the drawings, the front portion 18 overlaps the area of the rear panel 16 in which the slits 20 are famed. Therefore, notches 30 are provided in the corresponding edge of the front portion 18 so that the front portion 18 does not cover the slits 20 of the rear panel 16.
The slits 20 make it possible to see inside the baggage rack 2, even when the latter is closed, to the extent that the window panes 22 are not concealed by the liquid crystals.
In order to make it possible to see better into the baggage rack 2 in its closed position, in an advantageous alternative embodiment, an illumination means is provided inside the rack.
In a preferred embodiment, this illumination means comprises a light-emitting sheet 32. This is a sheet of small thickness (on the order of a millimeter) that lights up under the effect of an electric pulse. This illumination means has the advantage on the one hand of occupying little space, and on the other hand of causing little - or no - heating. This sheet covers, for example, the portion of the rear panel 16 that is not covered by the front portion 18. This light-emitting sheet 32 of course does not cover slits 20. Thus, the sheet is near the bottom 10 of the baggage rack 2. Such a light-emitting sheet 32, or other illumination means, also could be positioned, for example, on the inner face 24 of the front portion 18 of the lower wall 8 or on the inner face of the back 10.
As is obvious from the above, it is possible to see into a baggage rack 2 without having to open it. Therefore, at the time of boarding of passengers in an aircraft, it is not necessary to open all the baggage compartments in order to check that they are empty. Likewise, at the time of deplaning of passengers, or else in the course of a flight, if a passenger is looking for his carry-on luggage, it is easy for him to see in what compartment his baggage is located. As a result, he does not need to open a compartment in order to realize that his baggage is not there.
The operation mode of the liquid crystals described above and through which the window panes can be made opaque can be left to the preference of the airline companies. It may be provided, for example, that the window panes are made opaque when the rack is in open position. At night, when the interior illumination of the cabin is turned off, it also can be provided to make the window panes of the baggage-rack slits opaque. Indeed, most of the travelers are sleeping and therefore do not need to access their baggage.
The illumination means inside the baggage rack can be turned on as soon as the rack is closed and the window panes of the openings formed in the baggage compartment are not concealed. When the compartment is open, it can be assumed, in this case, that sufficient ambient light from the cabin illumination illuminates the inside of the baggage compartment and the baggage placed therein, and it is unnecessary to illuminate the inside of the baggage compartment when it is closed and the window panes are made opaque by the liquid crystals (or other means).
By virtue of the special shape of the lower wall 8, inside the baggage rack 2, the above described light-emitting sheet 32 illuminates the inside of the rack efficiently even when baggage is placed therein. This is because, as can be noted in Fig. 1, the inner face of the lower wall 8 toward the back 10 is of concave shape. Thus when an object with a substantially flat face, such as the depicted suitcase 6, is positioned in the rack, it does not come to cover the light-emitting sheet 32. This sheet, therefore, can illuminate the lower face of the suitcase 6 efficiently. The latter then is fully visible from the cabin through the slits 20.
It thus is advantageous initially to provide a concave area in the inner face of the lower wall (that is to say, the wall of the baggage compartment which is visible from the cabin). The openings implemented in the lower wall then preferably are in this concave area. Thus, the baggage, or at least most of it, does not come to rest directly on the openings, leaving a space between the baggage and the opening. In that way, the field of view from the outside of the baggage compartment toward the inside of this compartment is broader. Finally, it is advantageous to illuminate this free space between the inner face of the baggage compartment and the baggage. The illumination means, to the extent that any are present, are, for their part, also close to this concave area.
The present invention is not restricted to the above preferred embodiment given by way of non-limiting example. It also includes any alternative embodiment which will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, within the scope of the appended claims.
A compartment according to the invention also makes it possible for a passenger to see his baggage during the trip.
In this way he can retrieve it more easily in the course or at the end of the trip.
It also is possible to see through the opening implemented in the wall of the compartment or to conceal this opening, as desired. In the latter case, the concealing means preferably are such that the baggage compartment has a uniform appearance in the cabin. They can involve a curtain or a movable flap of the same color as the exterior of the baggage compartment so as to blend into the surroundings.
According to a preferred embodiment, these concealing means comprise a liquid crystal layer associated with means for subjecting this liquid crystal layer to an electric potential difference, this layer being opaque or translucent depending on the potential difference applied.
Said wall can comprise several openings in the form of slits spaced over the length of said wall, each of the slits being closed off with a transparent material. These multiple slits then make it possible to see clearly what is inside the baggage compartment over the entire length thereof.
In order better to see the inside of the compartment through the openings provided, the inner face of the wall advantageously comprises means for illumination of the inside of the compartment. These means comprise, for example, an light-emitting sheet.
The inner face of the wall provided with at least one opening preferably has at least one concave area, and the openings are arranged in this concave area. By virtue of the concave shape, the baggage, for the most part, does not reach the back of the concave area and thus forms a "bridge" over this concave area. By positioning the openings at this point, a space is left free between the inner face of the wall and the baggage. This makes it possible to see the inside of the compartment better through the openings. The illumination means, to the extent that they are provided, preferably shine into this area.
This invention also relates to an aircraft cabin and/or an aircraft, characterized in that they comprise at least one baggage compartment such as described above.
Other features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description, taken in conjunction with the accompanying schematic drawings in which:
Fig. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a baggage compartment according to the invention in its closed position, Fig. 2 shows a component of the compartment of Fig. 1, and Fig. 3 shows a perspective view on a reduced scale of a portion of the compartment of Fig. 1.
A baggage rack 2 of the type mounted in an aircraft cabin is seen in Figs. 1 and 3. It is a rack mounted so as to pivot around a pivot axis 4, and located, for example, in the upper portion of this cabin, above the passenger seats not depicted. A suitcase 6 is depicted inside this compartment in Fig. 1. The pivot axis 4 is a longitudinal axis with respect to the aircraft cabin.
The baggage rack 2 comprises a lower wall 8, a back 10, an upper wall 12 and side walls 14. The overall shape of this rack is more or less parallelepipedal with a rounded lower face. The face opposite the back 10 is an entirely open face.
When the baggage rack 2 is in its closed position, only the lower wall 8 thereof is visible from the cabin in which it is located. In the open position, this lower wall 8 is partially concealed and the face opposite the back 10, for its part, also is visible - and accessible - in order to make it possible to move baggage into or out of the baggage compartment.
The lower wall 8 of the baggage rack 2 comprises two 5 components: a rear panel 16 and a front portion 18.
The rear panel 16 has an elongated shape slightly curved along a longitudinal axis. It is connected to the back of the baggage rack 2. It is noted in Figs. 2 and 3 that this rear panel 16 is provided with a series of slits 20 10 distributed over the entire length of the panel. Each of these slits 20 forms an opening in the rear panel 16 that is closed off by a window pane 22 made of a transparent material, preferably of a synthetic material in order to avoid any problem of broken glass.
When the baggage rack 2 is closed, the slits 20 form fixed windows that make it possible to see inside the rack.
In a preferred embodiment, a liquid crystal layer covers each window pane 22 associated with a slit 20. Means for subjecting this liquid crystal layer to a potential difference then also are provided and this layer is opaque or translucent, depending on the potential difference applied.
For esthetic reasons, the color of this liquid crystal layer, when it is opaque, preferably corresponds to the color of the outer face of the rear panel 16. From the inside of the aircraft cabin, the rear panel 16 therefore has a uniform appearance when the window panes 22 of the slits 20 are made opaque.
The front portion 18 of the lower wall 8 is a molded part that extends so as to overlap the rear panel 16. The inner face 24 of the front portion 18 is substantially flat.
As for the outer face 26 of the front portion 18, it is of overall cylindrical shape and takes on the curvature of the rear panel 16, thus permitting a reliable assembly of the two components in order to form the lower wall 8. The outer face 26 of the front portion has a groove 28 that can be used as a handle for opening and closing the baggage rack 2.
In the embodiment depicted in the drawings, the front portion 18 overlaps the area of the rear panel 16 in which the slits 20 are famed. Therefore, notches 30 are provided in the corresponding edge of the front portion 18 so that the front portion 18 does not cover the slits 20 of the rear panel 16.
The slits 20 make it possible to see inside the baggage rack 2, even when the latter is closed, to the extent that the window panes 22 are not concealed by the liquid crystals.
In order to make it possible to see better into the baggage rack 2 in its closed position, in an advantageous alternative embodiment, an illumination means is provided inside the rack.
In a preferred embodiment, this illumination means comprises a light-emitting sheet 32. This is a sheet of small thickness (on the order of a millimeter) that lights up under the effect of an electric pulse. This illumination means has the advantage on the one hand of occupying little space, and on the other hand of causing little - or no - heating. This sheet covers, for example, the portion of the rear panel 16 that is not covered by the front portion 18. This light-emitting sheet 32 of course does not cover slits 20. Thus, the sheet is near the bottom 10 of the baggage rack 2. Such a light-emitting sheet 32, or other illumination means, also could be positioned, for example, on the inner face 24 of the front portion 18 of the lower wall 8 or on the inner face of the back 10.
As is obvious from the above, it is possible to see into a baggage rack 2 without having to open it. Therefore, at the time of boarding of passengers in an aircraft, it is not necessary to open all the baggage compartments in order to check that they are empty. Likewise, at the time of deplaning of passengers, or else in the course of a flight, if a passenger is looking for his carry-on luggage, it is easy for him to see in what compartment his baggage is located. As a result, he does not need to open a compartment in order to realize that his baggage is not there.
The operation mode of the liquid crystals described above and through which the window panes can be made opaque can be left to the preference of the airline companies. It may be provided, for example, that the window panes are made opaque when the rack is in open position. At night, when the interior illumination of the cabin is turned off, it also can be provided to make the window panes of the baggage-rack slits opaque. Indeed, most of the travelers are sleeping and therefore do not need to access their baggage.
The illumination means inside the baggage rack can be turned on as soon as the rack is closed and the window panes of the openings formed in the baggage compartment are not concealed. When the compartment is open, it can be assumed, in this case, that sufficient ambient light from the cabin illumination illuminates the inside of the baggage compartment and the baggage placed therein, and it is unnecessary to illuminate the inside of the baggage compartment when it is closed and the window panes are made opaque by the liquid crystals (or other means).
By virtue of the special shape of the lower wall 8, inside the baggage rack 2, the above described light-emitting sheet 32 illuminates the inside of the rack efficiently even when baggage is placed therein. This is because, as can be noted in Fig. 1, the inner face of the lower wall 8 toward the back 10 is of concave shape. Thus when an object with a substantially flat face, such as the depicted suitcase 6, is positioned in the rack, it does not come to cover the light-emitting sheet 32. This sheet, therefore, can illuminate the lower face of the suitcase 6 efficiently. The latter then is fully visible from the cabin through the slits 20.
It thus is advantageous initially to provide a concave area in the inner face of the lower wall (that is to say, the wall of the baggage compartment which is visible from the cabin). The openings implemented in the lower wall then preferably are in this concave area. Thus, the baggage, or at least most of it, does not come to rest directly on the openings, leaving a space between the baggage and the opening. In that way, the field of view from the outside of the baggage compartment toward the inside of this compartment is broader. Finally, it is advantageous to illuminate this free space between the inner face of the baggage compartment and the baggage. The illumination means, to the extent that any are present, are, for their part, also close to this concave area.
The present invention is not restricted to the above preferred embodiment given by way of non-limiting example. It also includes any alternative embodiment which will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, within the scope of the appended claims.
