  • Publication number: 20040154416
    Abstract: A testing stand for a helicopter transmission is arranged in a testing stand (20) capable of swiveling deflection around a rotor shaft (4) with one output side rotor shaft (4) and at least one drive side input shaft (6, 8). Actuators (28, 30) are provided around the rotor shaft axis (4) for swiveling deflection of the helicopter transmission (2) to equalize shifts on connection couplings (14, 16, 22) occurring under load. It is suggested that the helicopter transmission (2) be clampable in the testing stand (20) by connection elements (24, 26) elastic with respectable to swiveling deflection.

  • Patent number: 6393904
    Abstract: The inventive stress test rig for helicopter transmission comprises a first test rig transmission (16) which is driven by a motor (38) and forms a closed stress circuit via shafts (4, 14, 54), connecting couplings (12) a stress mechanism (40, 42), a second test rig transmission (52) and a test transmission (2) having a rotor shaft (4) on the output side. To house the test transmission (2), it has a clamping plate (23) which by means of at least one actuator (22) can be rotated about the rotor shaft axis of the test transmission to compensate load-induced displacements at the connecting couplings (12) of the test transmission.

  • Patent number: 6139086
    Abstract: A vehicle having a roof handhold arrangement includes an openable and collapsible cabriolet roof with an elastically deformable handhold connected at each end to handhold attachment points on lateral structural members of a collapsible roof. The collapsible roof is collapsible at least between the handhold attachment points, reducing the distance between them, and the handhold is foldable into a roof fold extending transverse to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle and bulging toward the outside of the roof. Upon collapse of the cabriolet roof by the opposed motion of the handhold attachment points, the handhold is deformable from a service position into a storage position in a transverse fold region of the roof.

  • Patent number: 5505993
    Abstract: A thin metal layer is applied in a thickness of less than 1,000 nm to a polymeric, web-like substrate which is moved along a cylindrical support in a vacuum chamber containing an evaporator crucible releasing the metal vapor toward the support and two coating screens arranged between the evaporator crucible and the support and defining the limiting angles of incidence of the vapor jet striking the substrate, by a process in which, in the case of predetermined limiting angles of incidence, the amount of metal vapor applied to the substrate can be optimized by means of the arrangement of the coating screens and the position of the evaporator crucible.
