Abstract: The invention relates to a lock which is intended to be disposed in a thrust reverser and which comprises a bolt and a linking member having a control lever connected thereto. The invention is characterized in that the control lever is equipped with a slot comprising a coupling section, a throttling section and an end section. The invention is further characterized in that a locking pin, which can move against a spring, is equipped with a constriction having a smaller cross-section than that of the throttling section of the slot. In this way, when the constriction is positioned in line with the slot after the locking pin has moved, the control lever can move alternately from a locking position, in which the locking pin is trapped by the end section, to an open position, in which the slot is disengaged from the locking pin.

Abstract: A thrust reverser is disclosed for an aircraft jet engine having a bypass duct enclosing a cowling with an outer cowling surface and a reverse thrust opening extending through the cowling. The thrust reverser has a thrust reverser door in the opening movable between a forward thrust position, in which the thrust reverser door covers the reverse thrust opening, and a reverse thrust position in which the thrust reverser door is moved within the thrust reverser opening, which is then uncovered, into a gas deflecting position at which position a portion of the door extends into the bypass duct. The thrust reverser door has an inner panel defining a part of the gas duct and an outer panel having an outer surface substantially flush with the outer cowling surface when the thrust reverser door is in the forward thrust position. The inner panel is sealed against the cowling.

Abstract: A thrust reverser is disclosed for a turbojet engine having a cowling forming an outer boundary of a gas flow duct through which gases flow from a front to a rear, the cowling having at least one reverse thrust opening communicating with the gas flow duct and a thrust reverser door pivotally connected to the cowling so as to move between a forward thrust position wherein the thrust reverser door covers the reverse thrust opening, and a reverse thrust position wherein the reverse thrust opening is uncovered and the thrust reverser door directs at least a portion of the gases flowing through the duct through the reverse thrust opening.
