  • Patent number: 11421721
    Abstract: A tie-rod assembly includes a tube member having a first set of threads at a first end of the tube member and a second set of threads at a second end of the tube member. The tie-rod assembly includes a first clevis coupling assembly having a first width dimension and a third set of threads compatible with first set of threads and first clevis coupling assembly has a second width dimension which includes a portion of the third set of threads with the second width dimension greater than the first width dimension. Further included is second clevis coupling assembly having a third width dimension and a fourth set of threads compatible with second set of threads and the second clevis coupling assembly has a fourth width dimension which includes a portion of the fourth set of threads with the fourth width dimension greater than the third width dimension.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6793182
    Abstract: A readily attachable window assembly for efficient installation and maintenance of aircraft windows is provided. The aircraft has a sidewall having an inner perimeter that defines an opening. The window assembly includes an outer window frame. A center window frame is attached to the outer window frame, and an inner window frame is attached to the center window frame. The inner window frame is readily attachable to the sidewall adjacent to the opening of the inner perimeter. The inner window frame includes a releasable coupling mechanism that includes first and second engaging mechanisms that positionally lock the first mechanism to the second mechanism via a torsion spring assembly and engageable teeth of each mechanism. The first engaging mechanism is locked onto the sidewall when torque is applied through at least one pinhole. The window assembly is disengaged by disengaging the first and second engaging mechanisms via a disengagement tab.
