Patent number: 10549409Abstract: The invention concerns a family of insertable temporary fasteners (100) comprising the following: a body (101) with a bearing face (102) at least one clip (103) with a hooking spur (104) a threaded rod (105, 205) connected to the clip, with a control nut (107, 207) screwed onto the said rod The family comprises at least two temporary fasteners (100) with different diameters and nuts with different lengths (116). The invention also concerns a set comprising such a family of fasteners, along with an installation device (13) comprising a means (26, 30) of detecting the length of the nut. The invention enables the installation device to automatically determine the appropriate tightening torque when installing the fastener based on the length of the nut.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2013Date of Patent: February 4, 2020Assignee: LISI AEROSPACEInventors: Vianney Des Courtis, Alexis Gabillon, Etienne Luneau, Philippe Prot

Patent number: 8740147Abstract: The invention relates to a pressure relief latch for aircraft, able to absorb vibrations and shocks without inopportune opening, as well as to adapt to dimensional stresses during its assembly. The latch includes: a console, a lever mounted on the console, and an opening effort exerted on a fulcrum of the lever causing an angular displacement of the fulcrum between a closing position and an opening position. The latch also includes a roller able to roll against a profile of the lever and connected to an elastic return device. The latch further being provided with means able to vary the angular displacement of the fulcrum of the lever according to the opening effort, with two different slopes according to an opening effort E1.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2012Date of Patent: June 3, 2014Assignee: LISI AerospaceInventors: Vincent Defrance, Marc Roussy, Etienne Luneau
