ABSTRACT:
A device for guiding movement of cargo items during loading and unloading from a cargo compartment of an aircraft includes a housing defining a recessed well below an upper surface of the housing, a slider which slides within the recessed well, a pawl pivotally connected to the slider and pivotal from a stowed position in the well to a deployed position projecting above the upper surface of the housing, and compression springs connected to the slider for absorbing impact loads imposed on the pawl in the longitudinal direction along which the slider and pawl slide as a unit. The cargo-engaging end of the pawl includes chamfered surfaces which cause the pawl to be depressed down into the well when the pawl is subjected to transverse impacts.
