  • Patent number: 8763952
    Abstract: An engine mounting structure for aircraft including an engine mounting system including a device for transmission of the thrust efforts fitted with two lateral connecting rods and with a spreader beam mounted in connected fashion on a support element, through a principal connecting device defining a principal spreader beam hinge line positioned in a plane. The spreader beam is also mounted in connected fashion with some play on the element, using a secondary connecting device located at some distance, as seen from above, from the device, and defining a secondary spreader beam hinge line, which is also positioned in a plane. The rotation of the spreader beam is stopped by device coming into contact with the spreader beam.

  • Patent number: 8573848
    Abstract: A ball slide bearing (18) includes an inside ring (19) and an outside ring (21), whereby the inside ring (19) is provided with an essentially cylindrical inner surface (19A) and a spherical outer surface (19B), and whereby the outside ring (21) is provided with a cylindrical outer surface (21B) and a cylindrical inner surface (21A). The bearing (18) includes an intermediate ring (20) that is inserted between the outside ring (21) and the inside ring (19), whereby the intermediate ring is provided with a spherical inner surface (20A) that can work with the outer surface of the inside ring (19) to allow the rotation along the three axes of rotation and an outer surface that defines at least one curved sliding surface (20B) in a direction that can work with a corresponding inside sliding surface (21A) of the outside ring (21).

  • Patent number: 8226029
    Abstract: An engine mounting structure for an engine aircraft including a rigid structure forming a caisson, together with an engine mounting system mounted on the structure, and a rear engine attachment, including an attachment strut to which is connected at least one shackle, to be connected to the engine. The engine mounting system includes a system for transmitting thrust efforts generated by the engine, including two lateral connecting rods connected to a spreader beam mounted in articulated fashion relative to the caisson. The attachment strut constitutes the spreader beam, wherein the body is mounted in articulated fashion relative to the caisson using an articulated shaft system.
