ABSTRACT:
An anchoring device for securing freight containers to the freight deck of an aircraft. A plurality of locking hooks are pivotally secured to the flight deck beneath the surface thereof. A resilient device is provided to urge the locking hooks to an upright position wherein the hook portion of the locking hook projects above the surface of the freight deck. The locking hooks, when in the retracted position beneath the surface of the freight deck are locked in position by a pair of locking mechanisms. One of the locking mechanisms is connected to a roll-over bar and the other locking mechanism is a manually operated release lever. The roll-over bar will be moved in response to an engagement therewith by a freight container. As a result, when a freight container has engaged the roll-over bar, the first locking mechanism will be released and the locking hook will only be released from a holding by the second locking mechanism by an operation of a manually operated release mechanism.
