Abstract

There are known cargo decks for aircraft that comprise floor beams or an equivalent floor substructure and floor panels, ball mats, roller tracks, or other such transport devices connected thereto for conveying and fixing in position pallets, containers or similar objects. In order to create a tight seal between a cargo space above the cargo deck and a bilge space below the cargo deck, sealing devices are provided, so that the floor panels, ball mats, roller tracks, etc. can be replaced at any time with no need to seal them off.
