  • Patent number: 7108224
    Abstract: A suspension of the turbo fan engine to an aircraft pylon, includes a fitting arranged to be attached to a pylon, a lever fastened in its central portion to the fitting via a linking device with a pivot pin. Two thrust rods are each connected by an end to the lever and including at the other end of the fastening device to the engine. The linking device is composed on the central portion of the lever, of two parallel branches apart from one another, and on the fitting, of a central fastening tab, whereas the fastening tab and both branches are held together by dint of the pivot pin.

  • Patent number: 6988692
    Abstract: A rear attachment suspension or device of a turbo engine to an aircraft pylon includes an upper brace fitted with a pylon fastening device and hinged by second ball joint connections, first and second rocker bars transversal to the longitudinal axis of the engine on both sides of the axis of the engine and a third rocker bar disposed there between. The rocker bars are linked to the engine by first ball joint connections. The first and second rocker bars each include a third stand-by link and the upper brace is formed of a beam fixed rigidly to the pylon. The rocker bars are designed to ensure their interchangeability, thereby reducing the risks of error during assembly.

  • Patent number: 6986482
    Abstract: A suspension part for mounting a turbojet engine includes two ends equipped with two elements, juxtaposed in a widthwise direction of the suspension part, for fixing the suspension part to the fixed structure. The ends are shaped into pairs of yokes respectively flanking connecting rods and each including fixing elements and a bearing of a journal of a connecting rod which bearing is situated underneath a fixing element. The suspension part also includes slots passing through the two ends of the suspension part and running between the yokes without running over a central portion of the suspension part. Each of the yokes has an upper portion with an additional thickness located on an inside of each of the yokes.

  • Publication number: 20040251380
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a suspension of the turbo fan engine to an aircraft pylon, including a fitting (12) arranged to be attached to a pylon, a lever (15) fastened in its central portion (150) to the fitting via a linking means with a pivot pin (150P), and two thrust rods (20, 22) each connected by an end to the lever and including at the other end of the fastening means to the engine. It is characterised in that said linking means is composed on said central portion (150) of the lever, of two parallel branches (151, 152) apart from one another, and on the fitting, of a central fastening tab (133), whereas the fastening tab and both branches are held together by dint of said pivot pin (150P).

  • Publication number: 20040251379
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a rear attachment suspension or device of a turbo engine (1) to an aircraft pylon including an upper brace (12) fitted with pylon fastening means, whereon are hinged by second ball joint connections (163, 183), three rocker bars transversal to the longitudinal axis of the engine, a first (16) and a second (18) rocker bars on both sides of the axis of the engine and a third rocker bar (17) between both of them, the rocker bars being themselves linked with the engine by first ball joint connections (161, 181). The suspension is characterised in that the first (16) and second (18) rocker bars each include a third (167, 187) stand-by link and in that the upper brace (12) is formed of a beam (120) fixed rigidly to the pylon.

  • Patent number: 6758438
    Abstract: A jet engine suspension includes a master component for attachment, fixed to an aircraft pylon. In the event of breakage of the master component and in the situation where the fixing screws are no longer able to transmit force, a peg is provided which resists transmitted loads such that the master component collapses until an upper shoulder rests on the pylon and supports the master component. The peg is free of dynamic stress in normal service and there is absolutely no risk of it cracking in fatigue.

  • Publication number: 20040094680
    Abstract: The invention concerns a suspension part (1) comprising ends supporting connecting rods (8 and 9) articulated to a turbojet engine (3) which is constructed such that the ends form a pair of yokes (5) separated by a slot (19) bisecting the part (1) over part of its length so as to stop fatigue crack propagation (20). The fixing elements (11) comprising lock bolts (13) are arranged in enlarged portions (15) of the yokes (5) which extend above the connecting rods (8) and (9), thereby ensuring static resistance of the yokes (5) when the counterpart has given way. Said arrangement also reduces cantilever between the fixing elements (11) and the connecting rod (8) and (9).

  • Publication number: 20030066928
    Abstract: A jet engine suspension comprises a master component for attachment, fixed to an aircraft pylon. If it breaks and if the situation arises where the fixing screws are no longer able to transmit force, a peg takes over: the master component collapses until an upper shoulder rests on the pylon and supports this component. The peg is free of dynamic stress in normal service and there is absolutely no risk of it cracking in fatigue.
