Abstract

An improved overhead storage system for use in an aircraft may include a variable opening overhead storage bin that is configured to automatically open to an initial open position when a latch mechanism is released and to open further to a second open position when a force is applied to the bin. Such improved overhead storage systems and variable opening overhead storage bins may improve article retention of articles or loads stored within the storage bins during flight. For example, when in the initial open position, the variable opening overhead storage bin may be angled to decrease chances of stowed articles falling out of the bin. When the variable opening overhead storage bin is further opened to the second open position, such as by pressing down on the bin, the passenger's hands may be in a better position to control articles stowed within the bin.
