  • the front edge portion 110 , the connecting portions 140 and the grip bar 150 are all formed of aluminum alloy.
  • the connecting portions between the front edge portion 110 and the grip bar 150 are cut and removed as much as possible.
  • the upper drawing of FIG. 2 is a side view of the overhead baggage rack
  • the lower left side drawing of FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the opening
  • the right side drawing is a perspective view of the material (shape member) seen from below.
  • the upper drawing of FIG. 3 is a plan view of the overhead baggage rack body 100
  • the lower view thereof is a front view of the overhead baggage rack body 100
  • the upper drawing of FIG. 4 is a plan view of the lower drawing
  • the center portion of the upper drawing of FIG. 4 is a vertical cross-sectional view of the above-mentioned view
  • the lower drawing of FIG. 4 is a view from the direction of arrow A-A of FIG. 3
  • FIG. 5 is a drawing illustrated from the direction of arrow B-B of FIG. 3
  • the upper drawing is a view from the direction of arrow a-a of the lower drawing
  • the middle drawing is a view from the direction of arrow b-b of the lower drawing
  • the lower drawing of FIG. 6 is a view from the direction of arrow C-C of FIG. 3
  • the upper view is a plan view of the lower drawing
  • the drawing at the right side portion of the plan is a vertical cross-section of the same portion.
  • the overhead baggage rack body 100 has a rectangular planar shape, wherein the front edge portion 110 and the rear edge portion 112 are connected by transverse members 114 , by which openings 130 are defined.
  • the front edge portion 110 and the rear edge portion 112 are parallel.
  • the grip bar 150 is integrally formed via connecting portions 140 at a lower oblique area of the front edge portion 110 .
  • the overhead baggage rack body 100 is fixed via a bracket 160 to the pole 200 .
  • An overhead baggage rack 190 is attached using the stepped portion 120 to each of the openings 130 of the overhead baggage rack body 100 .
  • the overhead baggage rack can be formed of transparent or semitransparent material such as plastic or glass, or of metal, punched panel, bars or net, which are attached to the openings via bonding or mechanical engagement.
