Abstract
Loads, such as pallets or freight containers, are guided and restrained on the loading floor of an aircraft by a device which provides guide rollers oriented in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the aircraft to hold pieces of freight in the horizontal direction. Additionally, cantilevered latching members hold a piece of freight against vertical and/or tilting movements. Both, the guide elements and the latching members are mounted to be tilted into the floor structure. The latching members perform simultaneously a rotating movement and a tilting movement when the device is moved or tilted into its recessed position below a top surface of the loading floor.
