STOWAGE BIN WITH CLOSING FORCE ASSISTANCE |
| 摘要 |
A method and apparatus for providing a closing force. The apparatus comprises a stowage bin, a number of sensors that measure a number of forces on the stowage bin, an assist mechanism that provides a closing force, a controller that compares data from the number of sensors, and an adjustment mechanism that adjusts the closing force based on the data from the number of sensors. The assist mechanism has a mechanical advantage that changes to provide the closing force. |

1. An apparatus comprising:
a stowage bin; a number of sensors that measure a number of forces on the stowage bin, wherein the number of sensors comprises a first sensor to take a measurement of an amount of opening force applied to the stowage bin, wherein the amount of opening force applied to the stowage bin comprises an amount of force applied to a handle of the stowage bin by a human operator; an assist mechanism that provides a closing force, wherein the assist mechanism has a mechanical advantage that changes to provide the closing force; a controller that compares data from the number of sensors; and an adjustment mechanism that adjusts the closing force based on the data from the number of sensors. |
