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. ## Claims ### Claim 1 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. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The storage compartment according to claim 1, further comprising a connecting element arranged between the connecting end of the stabilising element and the mounting. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The storage compartment according to claim 2, wherein the stabilising element comprises a pull rod. ### Claim 4 (depends on 2) The storage compartment according to claim 2, wherein the stabilising element comprises a panel. ### Claim 5 (depends on 3) The storage compartment according to claim 3, wherein the connecting element comprises a transverse portion and a longitudinal portion, the transverse portion extending outwards from the mounting transversely to the direction of flight and the longitudinal portion extending from the connecting end of the pull rod in the direction of flight. ### Claim 6 (depends on 3) The storage compartment according to claim 3, wherein the connecting element is arranged between the mounting end of the fixing brace and the mounting. ### Claim 7 (depends on 2) The storage compartment according to claims 2, further comprising a sliding block, wherein the sliding block is arranged on the connecting element adjacent to an outer edge of the storage compartment body. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) storage compartment according to claim 1, wherein the mounting is formed as a fixed bearing on the storage compartment body at the front in the direction of flight. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The storage compartment according to claim 1, wherein the mounting comprises a guide rail for guiding the pivoting movement of the storage compartment body. ### Claim 10 An aircraft comprising, a passenger cabin; a storage compartment for the passenger cabin, the storage compartment including: a mounting; a storage compartment body 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, the fixing brace 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; a stabilising element including a further load application end for connecting to the primary structure of the aircraft and a connecting end, the stabilising element arranged between the aircraft primary structure and the mounting in such a way that the stabilising element absorbs forces in the direction of flight; and a connecting element arranged between the connecting end of the stabilising element and the mounting. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The aircraft according to claim 10, wherein the stabilising element comprises a pull rod. ### Claim 12 (depends on 10) The aircraft according to claim 10, wherein the stabilising element comprises a panel. ### Claim 13 (depends on 11) The aircraft according to claim 11, wherein the connecting element comprises a transverse portion and a longitudinal portion, the transverse portion extending outwards from the mounting transversely to the direction of flight and the longitudinal portion extending from the connecting end of the pull rod in the direction of flight. ### Claim 14 (depends on 11) The aircraft according to claim 11, wherein the connecting element is arranged between the mounting end of the fixing brace and the mounting. ### Claim 15 (depends on 10) The aircraft according to claim 10, further comprising a sliding block, wherein the sliding block is arranged on the connecting element adjacent to an outer edge of the storage compartment body. ### Claim 16 (depends on 10) The aircraft according to claim 10, wherein the mounting is formed as a fixed bearing on the storage compartment body at the front in the direction of flight. ### Claim 17 (depends on 10) The aircraft according to claim 10, wherein the mounting comprises a guide rail for guiding the pivoting movement of the storage compartment body.
