Estimating the term…
A ceiling baggage storage combination with lighting fixtures for an aircraft passenger cabin with two lengthwise aisles, has a central and two side baggage storage compartments. The ceiling is made of individual curved ceiling elements that extend approximately between the upper edges of the baggage storage compartments. The combination has tube-shaped fluorescent lamps arranged in a direction lengthwise to the aircraft on a respective ceiling element. The ceiling element (5, 11) is curved approximately as a parabola, whereby the less strongly curved zone extends toward the fluorescent lamp (6) which is partly covered by a cover, so that primarily indirect light enters into the cabin. A reflector (7) is arranged on the side of the fluorescent lamp (6) that faces away from and approximately parallel to the ceiling element (5, 11). The reflector (7) reflects the light emanating from the fluorescent lamp (6) primarily toward the ceiling element (5).
A combination of ceiling luggage compartments and lighting fixtures for a passenger cabin of an aircraft, comprising two rows of luggage compartments spaced from each other by an aisle, ceiling elements (5, 11) bridging said aisle above said rows of luggage compartments, said ceiling elements having an approximately parabolic curvature with a curved focal end near one row of luggage compartments and with an open end opposite said focal end near the other row of luggage compartments, lighting means (6, 6a) positioned at said open end of said ceiling elements for directing light primarily toward said ceiling elements and partly toward said one row of luggage compartments, reflector means (7) positioned for closing said open end and reflecting light from said lighting means toward said ceiling elements, and cover means positioned for intercepting light from said lighting means to prevent direct light from entering into said aisle.
