  • Patent number: 9676231
    Abstract: Aircraft wheel rim in two parts, one of them a main part (1) comprising a hub (2), a disc (4) extending between the hub and an annular external portion (3) intended to accept a tire and shaped to have a flange (5) at one of its ends. The other end is shaped to accept the second part, a removable part (10) forming a flange (12) which removable part is attached to the annular external portion after the tire has been fitted. The rim has a structure for preventing the removable flange from rotating relative to the rim. The structure comprises at least one link (20) having ends, the centers of which define an axis which extends in a plane perpendicular to an axis of rotation of the rim while at the same time extending obliquely to make an angle (?) with respect to a radial direction, one of the ends being coupled to the main part and the other of its ends being coupled to the removable part.

  • Patent number: 8430457
    Abstract: The invention relates to a bar for an aircraft wheel, the bar comprising an oblong body (2) extended at each end by respective endpieces (4, 5) extending parallel to the body and parallel to each other, the endpieces being offset relative to each other. The invention also relates to a wheel specially adapted to receive such a bar.

  • Patent number: 8317001
    Abstract: The invention provides an electromechanical actuator for a vehicle brake, the actuator comprising: a motor; a screw-and-nut system having a first element, the screw or the nut, rotated by the motor; and an antirotation member preventing rotation of the second element of the screw-and-nut system, the nut or the screw, so that the second element moves linearly in response rotation of the motor so as to exert compression selectively on friction elements of the brake. According to the invention, the actuator is subdivided into a first portion comprising the screw-and-nut system, and a second portion comprising the motor, the portions being designed to be separable while the actuator is mounted on a brake.
