ABSTRACT:
A guide rail and support assembly for use in an aircraft cargo compartment for guiding cargo containers being transported by the aircraft cargo container transportation system uses a four bar mechanism to allow the guide rail to be lowered to accommodate wide cargo containers. The assembly lowers or retracts in response to being accidentally struck endwise by a cargo container, thereby avoiding damage to the cargo deck surface. The guide rail and support assembly uses a detent mechanism to prevent nuisance retractions while reliably retracting in response to endwise impact by a cargo container. The guide rail and support assembly is easily lowered manually when necessary to accommodate wider cargo containers, and is easily reset to the extended or upright position manually.
