ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a barrier for use in a vehicle to restrain equipment and cargo in the event of a sudden deceleration of the vehicle. The barrier includes a honeycomb panel provided with thin face sheets on its forward and aft surfaces. A channeled frame surrounds the perimeter of the panel and is provided with attachment fittings for securing the assembly to the vehicle. A pair of vertically disposed, spaced-apart straps are located on the forward surface of the panel in line with, and attached to, the attachment fittings. In the event of sudden vehicle deceleration, equipment or cargo may be thrown forward into the barrier, applying a load thereto. The honeycomb panel withstands the load developed normal to the barrier. The components of the load that are developed "in-plane" with the barrier are transferred to the straps by the particular configuration of straps and attachment fittings.
