Patent number: 10036323Abstract: A rear nacelle assembly for turbojet engine includes an inner structure surrounding a downstream portion of the turbojet engine. In particular, the inner structure is movable in rotation between an operating position in which it forms a downstream fairing and defines an annular stream of cold air with a thrust reverser cowl, and a maintenance position in which the inner structure moves away from the downstream portion. A suspension pylon is further provided to mount the thrust reverser cowl and the inner structure. The thrust reverser cowl slides between an opening position clearing air flow deviation grids and a closing position recovering the air flow deviation grids. Moreover, the thrust reverser cowl is mounted on the suspension pylon by a pivot connection sliding around a main axis, and the inner structure is mounted on the suspension pylon by a pivot connection around the main axis.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2014Date of Patent: July 31, 2018Assignee: AIRCELLEInventors: Herve Hurlin, Nicolas Dezeustre, Olivier Kerbler

Patent number: 9482181Abstract: A jet engine nacelle has one thrust reverser device which includes a deflection means and one cowl translatable in a direction substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the nacelle. The cowl can translate between a closed position and an open position. In the open position, the cowl ensures the aerodynamic continuity of the nacelle and covers the deflection means. In the open position, the cowl opens a passage into the nacelle and uncovers the deflection means. The thrust reverser device moreover includes one blocking flap pivotably mounted by one end attached to a rear portion of the deflection means, and slidingly connected to the moving cowl. The pivoting end is also translatably connected to the rear portion of the deflection means.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2013Date of Patent: November 1, 2016Assignee: AIRCELLEInventors: Herve Hurlin, Olivier Kerbler, Nicolas Dezeustre, Loic Le Boulicaut

Patent number: 9458793Abstract: An assembly includes a suspension pylon and a thrust reverser which has vanes for deflecting flow and a cowl able to move between an open position and a closed position by an actuator. The thrust reverser further includes rails able to slide in slideways. In particular, the actuator is disposed in line with a corresponding rail. The actuator may be an actuator having a rotating nut connected to an endless screw or an actuator suitable for pulling on the corresponding rail or on the corresponding slideway.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 2013Date of Patent: October 4, 2016Assignee: AIRCELLEInventors: Nicolas Dezeustre, Olivier Kerbler, Herve Hurlin, Pierre Moradell-Casellas

Patent number: 9382845Abstract: An inner structure for a nacelle for an aircraft turbofan includes a plurality of active and passive movable portions. Each active movable portion can drive adjacent passive movable portions such that the inner structure has a nominal first position, a second position and a third position. In the second position, the active movable portions project beyond by the passive movable portions toward the outside of the inner structure after the active mobile portions have driven the passive mobile portions. In the third position, the active movable portions project beyond the passive movable portions toward the inside of the inner structure after the active mobile portions have driven the passive mobile portions. The present disclosure also relates to a nacelle having an outer structure and such an inner structure.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2013Date of Patent: July 5, 2016Assignee: AIRCELLEInventors: Herve Hurlin, Olivier Kerbler, Olivier Gilo

Patent number: 8839629Abstract: An assembly is designed to attach hangers from which an aircraft propulsion unit is suspended. The propulsion unit is intended to be suspended from a structural element of the aircraft. The propulsion unit includes a turbojet engine having a longitudinal axis and the attachment assembly having a clevis mount for attaching the hangers to a casing of the propulsion unit. The clevis mount is fixed to the casing by means designed to form a connection between the clevis mount and the casing at the external periphery of the casing.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2013Date of Patent: September 23, 2014Assignees: Aircelle, SNECMAInventors: Herve Hurlin, Nicolas Dezeustre, Wouter Balk, Gilles Charier
