The present invention relates generally to a skid assembly for use with a cargo container. In one particular embodiment, the skid assembly comprises an elongate member having an upper surface, a lower surface, and a side surface; a plurality of side extensions spaced at predetermined intervals along the side surface; and at least two locking fittings, attached to the upper surface, for removably attaching the skid assembly to at least two corresponding castings located on the lower surface of a cargo container. Alternately, the skid assembly may comprise: an elongate member having an upper surface, a lower surface, two end surfaces, and an end extension extending from each of the two end surfaces for slideably engaging at least two elongate tracks of a cargo locking system. The present invention also relates to methods for adapting a cargo container to directly interface with an aircraft cargo bay floor having a cargo conveyor system to permit cargo to slide along the aircraft cargo bay floor and a cargo locking system to lock the cargo in place.

What is claimed is: 1. A skid assembly for use with a cargo container, the skid assembly comprising: an elongate member having an upper surface, a lower surface, and a side surface that extends between said upper surface and said lower surface; a plurality of side extensions spaced at predetermined intervals along the side surface; a first locking fitting, attached to the upper surface, for removably attaching the skid assembly to a first casting located on the lower surface of the cargo container; a second locking fitting, attached to the upper surface, for removably attaching the skid assembly to a second casting located on the lower surface of the cargo container, and positioned relative to the first locking fitting to permit the first and second locking fitting to be simultaneously removably attached to the first and second castings, respectively; and at least one rigid movable portion for varying the spacing between the first locking fitting and the second locking fitting to enable the assembly to be adapted to attach to cargo containers of a plurality of sizes. 2. The assembly of claim 1, wherein: the at least one rigid movable portion can be retracted to reduce the overall dimensions of the assembly for storage. 3. The assembly of claim 1, wherein: at least one of the first and second castings comprises an ISO corner casting. 4. A skid assembly for use with a cargo container, the skid assembly comprising: an elongate member having an upper surface, a lower surface, and a side surface that extends between said upper surface and said lower surface; at least one side extension extending from the side surface; a first locking fitting, attached to the upper surface, for removably attaching the skid assembly to a first casting located on the lower surface of the cargo container; and a second locking fitting, attached to the upper surface, for removably attaching the skid assembly to a second casting located on the lower surface of the cargo container, and positioned relative to the first locking fitting to permit the first and second locking fitting to be simultaneously removably attached to the first and second castings, respectively, wherein the elongate member includes at least one rigid section of variable dimension such that the relative positions of the first locking fitting and the second locking fitting may be adjusted in at least one dimension. 5. The assembly of claim 4, wherein the at least one side extension further comprises: at least one opening for receiving a locking pin. 6. A skid assembly for use with a cargo container, the skid assembly comprising: an elongate member having an upper surface, a lower surface, and a side surface that extends between said upper surface and said lower surface; a plurality of side extensions spaced at predetermined intervals along the side surface; a first locking fitting, attached to an end of the upper surface; and a second locking fitting, attached to an opposite end of the upper surface and positioned relative to the first looking fitting to permit the first and second looking fittings to be simultaneously removably attached to corresponding first and second castings of the cargo container, respectively; and at least one rigid extendable portion for varying the spacing between the first locking fitting and the second locking fitting to enable the assembly to be adapted to attach to cargo containers of a plurality of sizes. 7. The assembly of claim 6, wherein: the extendable portion can be retracted to reduce the overall dimensions of the assembly for storage. 8. A skid assembly for use with a cargo container, the skid assembly comprising: an elongate member having an upper surface, a lower surface, and a side surface that extends between said upper surface and said lower surface; a plurality of side extensions spaced at predetermined intervals along the side surface; a first locking fitting, attached to the upper surface; and a second locking fitting, attached to the upper surface and positionable relative to the first locking fitting by at least one rigid extendable portion of the elongate member. 9. An adapter system for a cargo container, the system comprising: a first elongate member having an upper surface and a side surface, said first elongate member comprising: at least one extension extending outwardly from the side surface of the first elongate member and adapted to engage a cargo locking system; a first locking fitting attached to the upper surface of said first elongate member and adapted to engage the cargo container; a second locking fitting attached to the upper surface of said first elongate member and adapted to engage the cargo container; and at least one adjustable segment that permits a spacing between the first locking fitting and the second locking fitting to be adjusted in at least one direction; and a second elongate member having an upper surface and a side surface, said second elongate member comprising: at least one extension extending outwardly from the side surface of the second elongate member and adapted to engage a cargo locking system; a third locking fitting attached to the upper surface of said second elongate member and adapted to engage the cargo container, a fourth locking filling attached to the upper surface of said second elongate member and adapted to engage the cargo container; and at least one adjustable segment that permits a spacing between the third locking fitting and the fourth locking fitting to be adjusted in at least one direction; wherein a spacing between the first elongate member and the second elongate member may be adjusted in at least one direction. 10. The system of claim 9, wherein the at least one adjustable segment of the first elongate member and the at least one adjustable segment of the second elongate member comprise rigid adjustable segments. 11. The system of claim 9, wherein the first elongate member may be positioned relative to the cargo container independently of the second elongate member.
