Publication number: 20230150671Abstract: A cargo restraint that accommodates restraining ULDs having a distorted or elevated retention base is disclosed (e.g., a retention base that is spaced above a conveyor plane, for instance coinciding with a cargo deck). An outer pawl includes at least one pivot that is maintained in a fixed location on the outer pawl, and that is movable along a slot to change the elevation of the pivot (and the elevation of a restraining head of the outer pawl when in an erected position). Movement of the pivot along the slot first allows the restraining head of the outer pawl to be positioned above a retention base of a ULD, including when the retention base is at an elevated position. Further movement of the pivot along the slot allows the restraining head of the outer pawl to engage and move the retention base of the ULD toward/to the conveyor plane.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 22, 2022Publication date: May 18, 2023Applicant: Goodrich CorporationInventors: Sanjay Yadav, Mohinder Saini
