Abstract: Embodiments are directed to an anti-rattle device, including a plurality of handle bracket assemblies, and a wedge assembly. Each of the handle bracket assemblies includes an adjustable handle, a bracket, and a threaded rod. The wedge assembly includes a frame and a rubber wedge. Each of the handle bracket assemblies is secured to a pallet. The adjustable handle of each of the handle bracket assemblies is configured to actuate to move the wedge assembly in a downward direction to engage a rail of a cargo handling system, such that the engagement of the wedge assembly against the rail creates tension and frictional force between the pallet and the cargo handling system to further secure the pallet in place.

Abstract: Embodiments provide an aeromedical bio-containment module for use in a cargo plane. The aeromedical bio-containment module includes a fully integrated pallet system allowing for the module to roll onto the cargo plane. An integrated set of lugs allows the module to be locked into the cargo plane floor without the use of chains or other pallets. The aeromedical bio-containment module features a ward area for safe treatment of patients, an anteroom, and an office area for personnel. The aeromedical bio-containment module operates under a negative pressure system, and includes a full air filtration system to remove pathogens, particulates, and other airborne contaminants.
