Abstract
A locking device for arresting a piece of freight in a loading system for an aircraft is especially adapted for use on an upper deck freight loading system for aircraft that can be retooled, either for passenger service or for freight service. The locking device is releasably secured to support rails extending longitudinally in the loading floor. The locking device has a frame in which a latching hook is mounted for longitudinal displacement against spring biasing forces, whereby the movement of the hook is damped. The latching hook and its latch pawl can be tilted into a recessed position below the floor level. The latch pawl is biased by tension springs to hold the latching hook in its operative position above the floor level.
