ABSTRACT:
A store carrier having automatic sway bracing which includes two swaybraces located symmetrically at a span larger than a pair of inner suspension hooks and smaller than a pair of outer suspension hooks. When a store is loaded on either the inner or outer pair of hooks and the hooks close, a pair of spring loaded tapered wedges on each side of vertically moveable swaybrace supporting columns are released to slide and wedge against mating tapered surfaces on the swaybrace column thereby locking the swaybraces against the loaded store. At hook opening the tapered wedges are driven with the hooks to cocked positions ready to accept the next store.
