Pivot bin assembly

An aircraft storage bin comprising:

• an upper housing that includes first and second side panels,
• a bucket that includes a bottom and first and second side walls, wherein the bucket cooperates with the upper housing to define a bin interior,
• a first clevis assembly that includes at least one of a first inner plate and a first outer plate and that extends between the first side panel of the upper housing and the first side wall of the bucket,
• a second clevis assembly that includes at least one of a second inner plate and a second outer plate and that extends between the second side panel of the upper housing and the second side wall of the bucket,
• a first pivot mechanism operatively associated with the bucket and the first clevis assembly, and
• a second pivot mechanism operatively associated with the bucket and the second clevis assembly, wherein the bucket pivots about a pivot axis with respect to the upper housing between an open position and a closed position,
• wherein when the storage bin is installed in an aircraft, a first horizontal distance is defined between a first vertical line that extends through the pivot axis and the front edge of the bucket when the bucket is in the closed position, and wherein a second horizontal distance is defined between the first vertical line and the front edge of the bucket when the bucket is in the open position, and wherein the first horizontal distance is greater than the second horizontal distance.
