ABSTRACT:
An adaptor assembly for converting a military cargo pallet for use in a commercial cargo-handling and tiedown system includes two longitudinal frame members and two lateral frame members. The longitudinal frame members are positioned adjacent the sides of a military cargo pallet while the lateral frame members are positioned adjacent the two ends of the cargo pallet. Each of the frame members has a plurality of recesses extending outwardly from their inner sides arranged to receive laterally and longitudinally extending projections on the sides and ends of the military cargo pallet, which projections are utilized for tieing down the military pallet. A second plurality of recesses are spaced at predetermined locations along the length of the longitudinal frame members and extend inwardly from their outer sides and are located and sized to receive an extendable restraining member forming part of a commercial cargo tiedown system. The lateral frame members also have a second plurality of recesses extending into the frame members from their outer sides for use with end tiedown members forming part of a commercial cargo tiedown system. Adjacent ends of the longitudinal and lateral frame members are releasably connected so that the adaptor assembly can easily be attached to a military pallet to convert it for use with a commercial tiedown system and so that it can be easily removed from the pallet to reconvert it for use with a military cargo tiedown system.
