Abstract
There is disclosed a cargo restraint for palletized cargo which is detachably secured to rails or frame members such as a conventional seat rail in an aircraft cargo hold. The restraint includes a frame and a folding assembly of a pawl plate member with fore and aft folding support links therefor whereby the pawl plate member can be folded into a retracted position, within the confines of the frame and elevated therefrom into an elevated, cargo pallet engaging position. The pawl plate member extends fore and aft of the support links to restrain the edges of adjacent cargo pallets. The frame is provided with a transverse web immediately forward of the support links to serve as an abutment stop therefor, restraining the links in the extended position and accommodating high acceleration forces in a forward direction. The assembly is provided with a resilient springs to urge it into the retracted position and a locking member secures the assembly in the extended position against the bias of the resilient springs.
