Abstract
A storage compartment for a passenger cabin of an aircraft is provided. The storage compartment comprises a storage compartment body, a mounting, a fixing brace and a pull rod. The fixing brace is connected to a frame of the primary structure of an aircraft and to the mounting and takes up forces transversely to the direction of flight. The pull rod is connected to a stringer of the aircraft primary structure and also to the mounting and takes up forces in the direction of flight in such a way that even in the event of an impact event, only low torques are to be taken up by the supporting primary structure of the aircraft.

A storage compartment for a passenger cabin of an aircraft, comprising:
- a storage compartment body;
- a mounting, and the storage compartment body is connected to the mounting in a pivotable manner;
- a fixing brace including a load application end for connecting to a primary structure of the aircraft and a mounting end for receiving the mounting, and the fixing brace is arranged between an aircraft primary structure and the mounting in such a way that the fixing brace absorbs forces transversely to a direction of flight;
- and
- a stabilising element including a further load application end for connecting to the primary structure of the aircraft and a connecting end,
- wherein the stabilising element is arranged between the aircraft primary structure and the mounting in such a way that the stabilising element absorbs forces in the direction of flight.
