  • Patent number: 11987358
    Abstract: Towplate units and assemblies are disclosed for airborne extraction of a cargo load. The towplate unit includes an extraction and jettison links having a pair of spaced-apart parallel extraction and jettison link arms and an extraction and jettison cross-connector extending between and rigidly joining the extraction and jettison link arms, respectively. A locking system removably locks the jettison link to the extraction link to thereby allow the jettison link to be removed from the extraction link when unlocked. A towplate assembly is also provided which includes a towplate unit removably assembled with a deck plate and an actuator control assembly operatively interconnected to the towplate unit so as to cause the towplate unit to separate from the deck plate during a normal cargo deployment condition or to cause the jettison link to separate from the extraction link of the towplate unit during an aborted cargo deployment condition.

  • Patent number: 8403606
    Abstract: An adjustment device aligns supporting parts that receive the guide rails of a freight loading system for structures having inherent dimensional tolerances, in particular for receiving structures in an aircraft fuselage. Each supporting part is designed as a bearing insert held with an adjustable movement in a bearing eye of a bearing block, and in that the bearing block has at least two tensioning elements that bear on the bearing insert.

  • Patent number: 7967537
    Abstract: An adjustment device aligns supporting parts that pivotally accommodate the guide rails of a freight loading system on structures having inherent dimensional tolerances. The structures can in particular be in an aircraft fuselage. Each supporting part is designed as a bearing insert that can be inserted in a bearing eye of a bearing block such that it cannot rotate. Each bearing insert has fitting surface sections separated from one another by planes of symmetry. Each bearing insert has at least one asymmetrically arranged axis accommodation.

  • Patent number: 7905029
    Abstract: In an adjustment device for the alignment of supporting parts on structures having inherent dimensional tolerances, in particular in an aircraft fuselage, by means of joining surfaces, the joining surfaces form positive shapes and negative shapes corresponding with one another in a form fit. The positive shapes and the negative shapes in each case are arranged in a cross grid.

  • Publication number: 20080089756
    Abstract: An adjustment device serves for the alignment of supporting parts accommodating in a pivotable manner the guide rails of a freight loading system on structures having inherent dimensional tolerances, in particular in an aircraft fuselage. Each supporting part is designed as a bearing insert held with an adjustable movement in a bearing eye of a bearing block, and in that the bearing block has at least two tensioning elements that bear on the bearing insert.
