ABSTRACT:
A cargo guide assembly includes a base which is mountable to the floor of a cargo hold in a transport vehicle such as an aircraft. A guide rail is pivotally attached to the base for swinging movement between a first position in which the guide rail contacts the side of a cargo container in the cargo hold, thereby restraining movement of the cargo and a second position in which the guide rail lies below the cargo floor, thereby permitting cargo to pass over it. A powered actuator is mounted on the base and is coupled to the guide rail by actuation linkage operable to move the guide rail from its first to its second position. Preferably, the assembly includes a latch for latching the guide rail in its second position and a biasing device associated with the base to bias the guide rail toward its first position. A plurality of the cargo guide assemblies can be installed in a cargo hold and the actuators of each of the assemblies connected to a common control station so that the cargo guide assemblies can each be operated independently or in groups from the control station.
