Abstract
Abstract An easily and quickly removable, pivotal, and snubbed storage bin, such as but not limited to aircraft passenger carry-on luggage having axially retractable pivotal pins extendible from the bin into recesses in support structure, such as but not limited to an aircraft passenger transport, in a nonrotatable fitting and a snubber pivotally connected between the bin and the pin for snubbing relative movement between the bin and its pivot pin and accordingly between the bin and the support structure. Also incorporated in the quickly removable pivotal rigid structure is a quickly retractable and snubbing pivot pin mechanism comprising an extendible means, snubbing means, and link means nonrotatably and slideably connected to the extendible bin means and pivotally connected to the snubbing means.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
157 words
A quickly removable pivotal rigid structure, support structure for the rigid structure, and means for pivotally and removably mounting the rigid structure on the support structure, said means comprising, a. pivot pin means extending from said rigid structure into a recess in said support structure whereby said rigid structure is pivotal about said pin means. b. said pivot pin means being retractable from said recess whereby said rigid structure is completely. easily, and quickly removable from said support structure, (rigid structure as recited wherein,) c. snubber means is connected between said rigid structure and said pivot pin means for snubbing pivotal movement of said rigid structure relative to said pivot pin means, d. one end of said snubber means is pivotally connected to said rigid structure and e. the other end of said snubber means is nonrotatably connected to said pivot pin means whereby said rigid structure may be quickly and easily removed from said support structure.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
157 words
A quickly removable pivotal rigid structure, support structure for the rigid structure, and means for pivotally and removably mounting the rigid structure on the support structure, said means comprising, a. pivot pin means extending from said rigid structure into a recess in said support structure whereby said rigid structure is pivotal about said pin means. b. said pivot pin means being retractable from said recess whereby said rigid structure is completely. easily, and quickly removable from said support structure, (rigid structure as recited wherein,) c. snubber means is connected between said rigid structure and said pivot pin means for snubbing pivotal movement of said rigid structure relative to said pivot pin means, d. one end of said snubber means is pivotally connected to said rigid structure and e. the other end of said snubber means is nonrotatably connected to said pivot pin means whereby said rigid structure may be quickly and easily removed from said support structure.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
130 words
A quickly removable pivotal rigid structure, support structure for the rigid structure, and means for pivotally and removably mounting the rigid structure on the support structure, said means comprising, a. pivot pin means extendinG from said rigid structure into a recess in said support structure whereby said rigid structure is pivotal about said pin means, b. said pivot pin means being retractable from said recess whereby said rigid structure is completely, easily, and quickly removable from said support structure, (rigid structure as recited in claim 1 wherein,) c. said recess comprises means for preventing rotational movement of said pivot pin means relative to said support structure, and d. snubber means fixedly connected to said pivot pin means for snubbing pivotal movement of said rigid structure relative to said support structure.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
127 words
A quickly removable pivotal rigid structure, support structure for the rigid structure, and means for pivotally and removably mounting the rigid structure on the support structure, said means comprising, (rigid structure as recited in claim 1 wherein,) a. pivot pin means extending from said rigid structure into a recess in said support structure whereby said rigid structure is pivotal about said pin means, b. said pivot pin means being retractable from said recess whereby said rigid structure is completely, easily, and quickly removable from said support structure, c. said recess comprises means for preventing rotational movement of said pivot pin means therein, and d. snubber means fixedly connected to said pivot pin means for snubbing pivotal movement of said rigid structure relative to said pivot pin means.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
176 words
A quickly, removable pivotal rigid structure, (as recited in claim 3 wherein) support structure for the rigid structure, and means for pivotally and removably mounting the rigid structure on the support structure, a. pivot pin means extending from said rigid structure into a recess in said support structure whereby said rigid structure is pivotal about said pin means, b. said recess comprises means for preventing rotational movement of said pivot pin means therein, c. snubber means fixedly connected to said pivot pin means for snubbing pivotal movement of said rigid structure relative to said pivot pin means, d. the connection between said snubber means and said pivot pin means being a lever, e. one end of said lever being slidable on said pivot pin means in an axial direction and non-rotatably mounted on said pivot pin means, and the other end of said lever being pivotally connected to said snubber means, and f. said pivot pin means being retractable from said recess whereby said rigid structure is completely, easily, and quickly removable from said support structure.
