Abstract: A connecting device for connecting two mechanical parts includes a rod having a section between a stop and a threaded portion. The rod is inserted into the parts, and a nut is screwed onto the threaded portion in order to hold the parts between the stop and the nut. An anti-rotation system blocks rotation of the nut and includes a washer interacting with the rod to be constrained to rotate with it. The washer has two protuberances, each engaged in a notch of shape complementary to the rod. The anti-rotation system has a ring with an inner periphery of with a shape complementary to that of an outer periphery of the nut in order to be secured to the nut. The ring is secured to the washer by a screw.

Abstract: The invention provides a device (2) for guiding a cable (8a, 8b) in a duct (4), the device (2) being characterized in that it comprises at least one guide tube (12) receiving the cable (8a, 8b) and at least one expandable clamp (13) secured to one end (12a) of the tube (12), the expandable clamp (13) being deployed so as to be blocked against the inside wall of the duct (4) in order to hold the tube (12) in the duct (4). The device serves to guide and hold the cable in the duct without damaging the duct.

Abstract: The invention relates to aircraft landing gear of the type that is laterally-raisable and that has twin wheels in a side-by-side configuration. According to the invention, the leg is constituted by an upside-down L-shaped strut whose two branches are hinged together, comprising a beam-forming first branch that is hinged to the structure of the aircraft and a second branch having a wheel lever hinged to the end thereof. The wheel lever is also connected to the first branch via a shock absorber. A controlling guide bar connects the second branch to the structure of the aircraft via a fork swivel-mounted on said second branch, in such a manner as to cause said second branch to move forwards while the landing ger is being raised, such forwards movement causing the wheels to be folded in because the shock absorber then acts as a second guide bar.

Abstract: The invention relates to raisable landing gear having a shock absorber strut and a sliding rod. According to the invention, the landing gear includes a lateral stabilizer hinged to the strut and fitted with a wheel at its free end, together with mechanical coupling means associated with said lateral stabilizer, in such a manner that: firstly lowering the landing gear deploys the lateral stabilizer so that its wheel, when the landing gear is in its lowered position, provides support additional to that provided by the wheels of the wheel set, and also constitutes a lateral stabilizer proper during taxiing of the airplane; and secondly raising the landing gear folds the lateral stabilizer so as to enable the entire landing gear assembly to be housed when in the raised position. It then becomes possible to organize the landing gear beneath the fuselage of the airplane, thereby making it possible to obtain landing gear that is extremely short.
