Abstract: A stop device for holding a unit load device in place on decking is described. In one example, the stop device includes a cylindrical socket having an outer surface, an inner surface, an open end, and a closed end. The stop device also includes a circular brim extending out from the outer surface, substantially perpendicular to the outer surface of the cylindrical socket, and a handle rod assembly that extends from the closed end of the cylindrical socket. The handle rod assembly can be used to lower the cylindrical socket into an aperture in the decking, such as aperture for a caster wheel in the decking. The handle rod assembly can also be used to rotate the stop device, aligning a circular segment cutout of the circular brim with an edge of the unit load device, to lock the stop device in place below the edge of the unit load device.

Abstract: A shim device and system for securing a unit load device (ULD) using the shim device are described. In one example, the system includes a pop-up lock in a deck for transporting a ULD. The system also includes the shim device, which can be placed between the ULD and the pop-up lock. The shim device provides a mechanical interference as a wedge, occupying any limited space that might exist between the bottom edge of the ULD and the pop-up lock. Thus, the shim device can prevent the ULD from moving by occupying the limited space between the ULD and the pop-up lock. In one example, the shim device includes a shim block having top, bottom, and side surfaces, an inner aperture that extends through the shim block, and a handle connected with and extending from the shim block.

Abstract: A tool includes a handle, an extension member extending from the handle, and an anchor assembly coupled to the extension member opposite the handle. The anchor assembly is configured for selective anchoring to a seat track of an air cargo pallet, and the anchor assembly includes at least one locking member that is movable between an unlocked position and a locked position. In particular, when the at least one locking member is in the unlocked position, the at least one locking member is configured to advance into a slot of the seat track. When the at least one tool is in the locked position, the at least one locking member is configured to mechanically interfere with at least a portion of the seat track in a manner retaining the at least one locking member in the slot, thereby anchoring the anchor assembly to the seat track.
