Abstract: A fastening device is disclosed for releasably fastening a mechanism in the region of a floor of an aircraft or spacecraft and includes a base component and a latch component. The latch component includes at least one holding portion including a latch-component-side holding face and is movably coupled to the base component between an unlocked and a locked position. When positioned in a predefined mounting position on the floor component and/or on the base component, the holding portion of the latch component engages a fastening portion, and the latch-component-side holding face faces the mechanism-side holding face. During passage of the latch component from locked position into unlocked position a gap between the latch-component-side holding face and the mechanism-side holding face continuously widens. The invention further relates to an arrangement for a cargo loading system.

Abstract: A cargo restraining barrier configured to be mounted to a cargo deck surface of an aircraft. The cargo restraining barrier includes a base portion, a barrier portion arranged substantially perpendicular to the base portion at a first edge on the top side of the base portion, a plurality of force diverting struts mounted in parallel along the extension of the barrier portion between a backside of the barrier portion and a second edge of the base portion opposite to the first edge of the base portion. The force diverting struts are configured to divert forces acting on the front side of the barrier portion towards the base portion, and a plurality of first latches distributed over the bottom side of the base portion, hooking into tie down rings of a cargo deck surface and to direct the diverted forces from the force diverting struts into the cargo deck surface.

Abstract: The invention relates to a cargo handling system for loading and securing one or more freight containers in a cargo hold of an aircraft. The system includes bracket members configured to be secured to a base or floor of the cargo hold, and elongate guide members, each of which is mounted on and interconnects a number of the bracket members arranged in a row, wherein each guide member forms a restraint or a stop against lateral movement of a freight container loaded in the cargo hold. The bracket members include at least one fastening portion configured for tool-less fast-release engagement and locking with a seat track profile in the base or floor of the cargo hold. Furthermore, the bracket members typically extend transversely inwards or inboard of the elongate guide members.
