Abstract: A hatch-actuating mechanism, particularly for aircraft landing gear. The mechanism includes a lateral closing panel (1) and a secondary closing panel (4) articulated to one another. A lateral pivoting fitting (5) is joined to the lateral panel (1) and pivots about a fixed point on the structure (7). A secondary pivoting fitting (8) is joined to the secondary panel (4). A lateral actuating cylinder (10) controls the movement of the lateral panel. An intermediate actuating cylinder controls the movement of the secondary panel, the intermediate actuating cylinder (13) being actuatable independently from the lateral actuating cylinder (10).

Abstract: A hatch-actuating mechanism, particularly for aircraft landing gear with a lateral closing panel (1) and a secondary closing panel (4) articulated to one another, a lateral pivoting fitting (5) joined at the bottom to the lateral panel (1), couplable by lateral means of articulation (6) to a fixed structure (7), a secondary pivoting fitting (8) joined at the bottom to the secondary panel (4), a lateral actuating cylinder (10) articulated on the fixed structure and on the lateral pivoting fitting (5), an intermediate actuating cylinder (13) coupled to a first coupling point (14) between the lateral means of articulation (6) and the intermediate means of articulation (9) on the lateral pivoting fitting (5), as well as on a second coupling point (15) on the secondary pivoting fitting (8), the intermediate actuating cylinder (13) being actuatable independently from the lateral actuating cylinder (10).
