Abstract
This device for steadying, notably against lateral oscillation, a load releasably suspended from an aircraft comprises spring urged wedge members mounted to the load; these wedge members in their steading position penetrate between the upper face of the load and the lower face of the carrier member of the aircraft; these wedge members are retracted manually against the force of their spring means to allow the suspension of the load.
Claims2
