The present invention relates to a side guide adapter for guiding and/or retaining a cargo item in an aircraft, comprising at least one fastening element for fastening to a rail section, in particular a perforated rail section, of a side guide, at least one spacer element for bridging a distance to the cargo item, wherein the spacer element and the fastening element are hingedly connected to each other, and at least one retaining section for the cargo item, which is arranged on an end face of the spacer element and comprises at least one retaining contour for guiding and/or retaining the cargo item. Furthermore, the invention relates to a side guide system, a cargo deck, and a method for converting a cargo deck.

Side guide adapter, side guide system, cargo deck, and method for converting a cargo deck

In conventional aircraft cargo compartments panels or similar flat floor elements are fastened to floor beams or similar supporting elements that are installed in the body of the aircraft. Subsequently functional units such as roller elements, latches or PDUs are mounted and connected to one another by way of appropriate control conductors. It is proposed to fasten the floor elements permanently to the supporting beams so as to form prefabricated floor modules and to install these floor modules in the aircraft.

Floor for an aircraft cargo compartment and method for the assembly thereof

The invention relates to a fixing rail for attaching loading devices, particularly rollers, locking bars or power drive units to the loading deck of an aircraft. This fixing rail comprises a first and a second rail, each rail having a cheek with first attachment devices, to which the loading devices can be fixed, and first floor sections, to which the cheek is attached by a lower edge, each first floor section having second attachment devices, by means of which the floor section can be attached to the loading deck. In this arrangement, the cheeks separated from each other are mountable on the loading devices, so that they are connected to each other by means of the loading devices and the loading deck, following mounting and attaching to the loading deck. In this way, a considerable weight saving is achieved along with increased variability of use of the fixing rail.
