ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a latch unit for use in an aircraft cargo hold to secure freight. The latch unit includes a claw that can be depressed out of an elevated, position in which an item of freight can be brought into an immobilizing engagement with the claw, into a resting position in which an item of freight can travel over the latch unit. The latch unit is constructed to engage freight that approaches in a direction leading out of the cargo hold and allows freight to freely move when the freight approaches from all other directions. In addition, the latch unit allows freight to rotate while in the door region, while at the same time prevents freight from accidentally rolling out of the cargo hold.
