The invention relates to floor heating for an aircraft which has a floor () made up of heatable panels (). In order to be able to heat up the panels () in an energy-saving way, the same are provided with hollow chambers () which pass through them, wherein a feed line () for warm waste air originating from the cooling of the aircraft's electronic equipment which is connected to the first hollow chambers (), conveys hot air to the first hollow chambers () when the floor heating system is in operation.

Device and method for floor heating in an aircraft

A freight lashing channel () for a transport conveyance is constructed for mounting a plurality of spaced lashing devices () in the channel. Each lashing device () has a base () and a bail () journalled to the base (). The bail takes up a recessed position within the lashing channel () or a working position out of the channel. In the recessed position the channel () is closed by a cover plate formed with a load mounting rail () for a rapid change-over from a freight lashing function to a seat mounting function. The lashing channel is either a separate unit or it is integrated into a floor panel or it is formed between two floor panel sections. Reinforcing load take-up elements () are mounted within the channel between neighboring lashing devices.

Apparatus for mounting lashing devices in a freight loading system of a transport conveyance, particularly an aircraft

A lashing device having a base and a lashing bail journaled to the base is constructed for attachment to a lashing channel mounted on or in a loading floor of a transport conveyance such as an aircraft. The base includes a socket for mounting an interconnecting element to the lashing device when the lashing bail is tilted into an inoperative position. Thus, the switch-over between using the latching bail or the interconnecting element or vice versa is quickly accomplished.
