Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Systems and methods are disclosed herein for guide assemblies. A guide assembly is provided comprising a sliding rail comprising a first channel and a second channel, a first fitting comprising a first retaining rail, wherein the first retaining rail is configured to slide within the first channel, and a second fitting comprising a second retaining rail, wherein the second retaining rail is configured to slide within the second channel.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A guide assembly comprising: a sliding rail comprising a first channel and a second channel; a first fitting comprising a first retaining rail, wherein the first retaining rail is configured to slide within the first channel; a second fitting comprising a second retaining rail, wherein the second retaining rail is configured to slide within the second channel. 2 . The guide assembly of claim 1 , wherein the first retaining rail and the second retaining rail comprise a T shape. 3 . The guide assembly of claim 2 , wherein the first channel comprises a first retaining tab and a second retaining tab. 4 . The guide assembly of claim 3 , wherein the first retaining tab and the second retaining tab are configured to mate with the first retaining rail to restrain the sliding rail from moving away from the first fitting. 5 . The guide assembly of claim 1 , wherein the first retaining rail comprises a depression and wherein a shear kit is disposed in the sliding rail and configured so that the depression receives the shear kit. 6 . The guide assembly of claim 1 , wherein the first retaining rail has a first position with respect to the first fitting sized to accommodate a first pallet. 7 . The guide assembly of claim 6 , wherein the first retaining rail has a second position with respect to the first fitting sized to accommodate a second pallet, the second pallet having a different width than the first pallet. 8 . A restraint assembly comprising: a restraining stop comprising a first channel; a first fitting comprising a first retaining rail, wherein the first retaining rail is configured to slide within the first channel; a roller disposed in the first fitting. 9 . The restraint assembly of claim 8 , wherein the first retaining rail comprises a T shape. 10 . The restraint assembly of claim 9 , wherein the first channel comprises a first retaining tab and a second retaining tab. 11 . The restraint assembly of claim 10 , wherein the first retaining tab and the second retaining tab are configured to mate with the first retaining rail to restrain the restraining stop from moving away from the fitting. 12 . The restraint assembly of claim 8 , wherein the first retaining rail comprises a depression, wherein the fitting comprises a shear kit configured to secure the fitting to an aircraft. 13 . The restraint assembly of claim 12 , wherein a shear kit is disposed in the restraining stop and configured so that the depression receives the shear kit, wherein, in response to the shear kit being engaged with the depression, the restraining stop is restrained from motion relative to the fitting. 14 . The restraint assembly of claim 8 , wherein the restraining stop has a first position with respect to the first fitting sized to accommodate a first pallet. 15 . The restraint assembly of claim 14 , wherein the restraining stop has a second position with respect to the first fitting sized to accommodate a first pallet.
