ABSTRACT:
The invention generally comprises a rail assembly attached to an airplane floor structure and a latch assembly in a seat pallet. The rail assembly generally includes a rail attached to a floor channel, and rollers and cargo restraining assemblies attached to the rail. The top of the rail has left and right facing teeth for engaging a seat pallet latch. Rollers connected to the rail define a roller plane above the rail for rollingly supporting a pallet. A seat pallet is supported by the rollers and includes a latch assembly for selectively engaging the rail teeth and thus restraining the seat pallet from movement relative to the rail. The cargo pallet restraining assemblies include a plurality of pairs of housings connected to opposite sides of the rail. The housings include fore and aft facing lock heads movable between a stowed position beneath the roller plane and an erect position wherein a lip portion of the lock heads extends above the roller plane for restraining cargo pallets fore and aft on said roller plane. Preferably, the fore and aft lock heads in each housing are linked such that movement of either lock head to the erected or stowed position simultaneously moves the other lock head to the similar position.
