ABSTRACT:
To secure containers on the floor of the cargo area of an aircraft, latches are known that comprise a frame and at least one latch hook, which is mounted on the frame so that it can pivot about an axle from a retracted resting position into an upright operating position. If due to inattentiveness of the service personnel the latch hook is left in its operating position and a container strikes against it while it is in this position, the result is often destruction of the floor structure. It is proposed to provide a safety device that allows the latch to be deflected out of the way when it is subjected to a predetermined overload in a direction parallel to the floor of the cargo area.
