Abstract: The present invention concerns a system for loading and unloading loose cargo, such as preferably pieces of luggage or the like, in a cargo hold of a plane, including conveying the loose cargo towards the inner end of the cargo hold during loading, or away from it during unloading, and including transport of the loose cargo between the level of the tarmac and the cargo hold opening. The loose cargo may during loading be conveyed into the fuselage in a direction transversal to the longitudinal axis of the plane and also in the longitudinal direction of the plane, and deposited, in the cargo hold. Loose cargo conveyed back into the plane of the cargo hold opening during unloading may be conveyed off transversely to the longitudinal axis of the plane through the cargo hold opening. Moreover the invention proposes intermediate conveyor means herefor.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a system for loading and unloading loose cargo (6), such as preferably pieces of luggage or the like, in a cargo hold (1) of a plane, including conveying the loose cargo (6) towards the inner end of the cargo hold (1) during loading, or away from it during unloading, and including transport of the loose cargo (6) between the level of the tarmac and the cargo hold opening. In the system of the invention, the loose cargo (6) may during loading be conveyed into the fuselage in a direction transversal to the longitudinal axis of the plane and also in the longitudinal direction of the plane, and deposited in the cargo hold (1). Loose cargo (6) conveyed back into the plane of the cargo hold opening during unloading may be conveyed off transversely to the longitudinal axis of the plane through the cargo hold opening. Moreover the invention proposes intermediate conveyor means (2) herefor.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a netting arrangement for a cargo hold, in particular in an airplane, comprising: at least one netting including a plurality of fixation points preferably formed on an edge side, a plurality of fixation points formed on the cargo hold side, and at least one adapter for securing the netting in the cargo hold. The adapter is secured to at least two fixation points on the cargo hold side so as to divert a load applied to the adapter into the at least two fixation points on the cargo hold side. The adapter is arranged in the path of force between the netting fixation points preferably formed on an edge side and the fixation points on the cargo hold side. The adapter furnishes at least one adapter-side fixation point for securing the netting to the adapter. The fixation points for the netting are arranged in a plane identical with the plane of the adapter-side fixation points, independently of the load applied on the netting.

Abstract: The present invention for the first time proposes a system for loading and unloading loose cargo in a cargo hold, preferably of a plane. The system comprises a conveyor apparatus for transporting the loose cargo between a tarmac level or the like and a cargo hold opening, wherein the conveyor apparatus comprises a transport organ on whose transport side the loose cargo lies during loading and unloading. Moreover the system comprises an intermediate conveyor means which rests on the transport side of the conveyor apparatus in the range of a cargo hold-side end thereof and extends into the cargo hold for conveying loose cargo lying on a conveying side of the intermediate conveyor means between the conveyor apparatus and the cargo hold.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a transport device in cargo spaces in aircrafts, the transport device including a frame structure which, using retaining devices, is provided at the fuselage in the cargo space. The frame structure includes at least one conveyor belt for transport and storage of goods in the cargo space. The retaining devices are provided to retain the frame structure at the fuselage such that it can move in the retaining devices when it is subjected to abnormally high loads.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for controlling the operation of an actuator unit, comprising the steps: a) repeatedly reading the current fed to the actuator unit, b) a first comparison wherein the readings are compared with a first maximum level and if the readings are above the maximum level the electrical power fed to the actuator unit is cut off, c) a second comparison wherein two successive readings repeatedly are compared with each other and if the differences between the readings are below a first ramp level a number a steady state condition for the current fed to the actuator unit is detected, and d) if steady state is detected setting at least one overload detection limit on basis of a steady state reading of the current fed to the actuator unit. The invention also concerns a device for carrying out the method and a conveyor incorporating the device.
