ABSTRACT:
In a system for locking freight or cargo, especially in the freight hold of an aircraft, including guide rails along which the units of freight are guided, and YZ-locking devices for securing or locking the freight units against motion in the Y- and Z-directions, one or more X-locking devices are further provided for locking the freight units against motion in the X-direction. The X-locking devices are mounted directly on the guide rails, which are arranged between respective YZ-locking devices. Each X-locking device includes a mounting base (5) that is fixedly mounted on the guide rail (1), and a locking member (6) that is pivotally connected to the mounting base (5) so as to be tiltable or pivotable about an axis (7) extending parallel to the lengthwise extension of the guide rail (1) or X-direction. The locking member preferably has a U- or L-shaped configuration to reach over and behind the guide rail in a locking position, whereby it acts as a locking stop to prevent X-direction motion of the freight unit. Alternatively, the locking member is tiltable into a non-locking position clear of the freight unit, so that the freight unit may be slidingly moved in the X-direction along and between the guide rails.
