Abstract

See full text

A cargo restraint for use with a cargo carrying deck in an aircraft, the deck having an upper support surface. The restraint includes a base adapted for attachment to the deck and a guide member pivotally attached to the base. The guide member is adapted to overlie the side edge of a cargo carrying unit to vertically and laterally restrain a cargo carrying unit. The guide member also forms a vertical and lateral guide during movement of a cargo carrying unit within the aircraft. The guide member is pivotal between an upright operating position and a retracted position wherein the guide member is located below the support surface of the cargo deck and is additionally pivotal to a latched position. A spring biases the guide member from the retracted and latched positions to the upright position. A latch releasably retains the guide member in the latched position.
