Abstract
Various kinds of apparatus are known for mounting functional units of conveyor systems, in particular latch units, which can be installed on the floor of a cargo hold in an aircraft. They are provided with detachable fixation devices to fix the functional units to retaining devices attached to the floor, such as seat rails or lock trays. In order to make better use of a cargo hold without the need for installing special fixation devices on its floor, it is proposed to equip the mounting apparatus with a support base that comprises, on opposite sides thereof, different fixation devices, a first of which can be fixed to a first kind of retaining device, such as a seat rail, while simultaneously a second fixation device can be fixed to a second kind of retaining device, such as a lock tray.
