Abstract
A guiding mechanism is disclosed for moving a cargo door into extended cargo door positions to open and into a retracted cargo door position to close at least one section of an opening of a loading hatch on a fuselage of an aircraft. A first structural component in the form of the cargo door is pivotably supported on a second structural component on a front lateral edge by a pivot joint arranged in a pivoting axis in order to assume the extended cargo door positions on the loading hatch. The guiding mechanism features at least one actuator for moving the cargo door, a supporting device arranged on an actuating element, and a spring mechanism on the actuator for exerting a compressive force.
