Abstract: A cushioned sliding joint designed to be used in two structural elements joint of one single pin where it is not desired an axial load transferring or it is necessary to restrict that transferring. The restriction of the axial load transferring is achieved by incorporating elastic members between some of the components of the joint. The elastic members allow axial displacements but present higher resistance according to the magnitude of the movement.

Abstract: The strap (2) comprises a conducting cable whose ends are fixed to each individual conducting structural element (1) by means of each individual connection device for providing electrical continuity among the conducting structural elements (1). It is characterized in that the connection device comprises a connector (3) of the quick-release type which includes two pluggable parts (4 and 5) for carrying out the connection/release between both pluggable parts, in such a way that one of said pluggable parts is provided with fastening means to one of the elements (1), while the other pluggable part comprises a securing element to one of the ends of the cable, in order to permit the quick release of the cable with respect to the elements (1). It reduces time and cost of assembly/removal of the straps (2). Applicable in aeronautics for connecting elements (1) with relative movement and which have difficult accessibility between them, permitting the conduction of possible lightning striking an aircraft.

Abstract: Sealing device for the flap track for the flap-actuating shaft, in the belly fairing of an aircraft, with a top hollow body 1 and a bottom hollow body 7 which are flexibly compressible, each comprising at least one interior chamber 2, 8 with open sides 2a, 2b, a wall 3, 9 with respective external contact surfaces 3a which are in flexible contact with each other, the outer surfaces 4a, 10a of the front walls 4, 10 of the hollow bodies 1, 7 jointly forming an outer sealing surface 11 which covers the flap track 19, said hollow bodies 1,7 having jointly a vertical compression flexibility such that the contact surfaces 3a, 9a retract around the actuating shaft 20, the interior chambers 2, 8 extending between the front walls 4, 10 and rear walls 5, 11 of the hollow bodies 2, 7.
