Latch assembly for containerized baggage trailer

摘要

A latch assembly for laterally and vertically restraining an aircraft baggage container in position upon the supporting platform of a baggage trailer. Separate latch members are provided for respectively restraining the baggage container against lateral and vertical movement upon the supporting platform. A common actuating member is employed to sequentially release the vertical and lateral restraints so that the vertical restraint may be released (to permit opening of the container doors) without releasing the lateral restraint so that baggage may be placed in or removed from a container located upon a trailer while the container is latched against lateral movement upon the trailer platform.
