An arrangement for loading of a cargo compartment (3), in particular that of an aircraft fuselage (1), with piece goods, is proposed, consisting of a conveying device (9) in the form of a number of high-tensile belts (10) located at intervals from one another and which are provided with a carpet-like conveying surface (18), for instance in nylon fabric, in that section of them which covers the cargo area of the cargo compartment (3) in the fully-loaded position. A rear cargo wall (23) fixed to the belts (10) provides the rear stowage room limit for the goods transported. Loading and unloading can be performed by means of movement backwards and fowards of the belts (10). Since tensile loadings are concentrated exclusively in the belts (10), reversal can be performed in the vicinity of the loading aperture (5) of the cargo compartment (3) on a thin guide section located near the floor, which can be designed to accord with any contour of the floor (14) of the cargo compartment (3). There thus results in a design for the conveying device (9) in the form of a carpet which fluidly adapts itself to any contour on which the goods transported can be safely and reliably conveyed into and out of the cargo in compartment (3).
Arrangement for loading a cargo compartment (3) of an aircraft having a curved fuselage floor with piece goods, with at least one conveying device (9), able to be moved by a motor from a loading aperture (5) of an aircraft cargo compartment (3) outwardly in a direction toward its opposite end (6) and back,
