ABSTRACT:
A cargo restraint for use in loading and unloading cargo in the hold of an aircraft includes a lip member which extends into the path of cargo entering the aircraft and is yieldably mounted to rotate out of the way of cargo entering the cargo hold. The lip member has stop means associated therewith to prevent rotation of the lip means on engagement by cargo in a direction exiting the cargo hold so as to restrain the cargo from exiting. The lip member is rotatably mounted on a carrier member which in turn is pivotally attached to a base affixed to the floor of the cargo hold. The lip member is movable into a retracted position below the cargo deck to permit passage of cargo out of the hold. A powered actuator is provided which is operable to move the lip member between its extended and retracted positions. A control means associated with the powered actuator is located remotely from the cargo restraint and is operable to cause movement of the lip member between its extended and retracted positions from the remote location. The lip member can be manually moved into the retracted position in the event the powered actuator is inoperative and preferably a latching mechanism is provided that is operable to maintain the lip member in its retracted position independently of the powered actuator.
