  • Patent number: 11465730
    Abstract: The invention relates to an opening system (10) for an auxiliary door (20) of an airplane in a fuselage (30), the door and the fuselage having skins in the extension of one another. In one exemplary embodiment, the system (10) includes a framing lintel (11) integrated into the fuselage, an upper beam (2S) of the door structure arranged opposite the lintel (11), and a set of three lever links (4A, 4B, 4C). Each link is connected, on the one hand, to the lintel (11) by a lever articulation (5a, 6a) fixed relative to the fuselage (30) and, on the other hand, to the upper beam (2S) by a lever articulation (5b, 6b) mobile with the door (20), the articulations (5a, 5b; 6a, 6b) being connected respectively to the lintel (11) and to the upper beam (2S) by fittings (41, 43; 42, 44).

  • Patent number: 11066864
    Abstract: An aircraft electric door for a pressurized airframe having a locking system for locking a safety catch, a system for moving a door arm, and an electric motor activated by a door computer to actuate both systems. The system for moving the door arm includes a guideway linked to the door arm. The guideway is in a mobile cylindrical support rotated by the electric motor. A fixed guide is fitted in a cylindrical sleeve around the cylindrical support. The fixed guide includes a vertical camway and a horizontal camway. The door arm pivots around a vertical hinge and is linked with door lifting devices. The door lifting devices are mounted between a shaft of the safety catch and the door arm.

  • Publication number: 20190169915
    Abstract: The invention aims to integrate the activation of the opening/closing phases around a single electric motor, including the treatment of the external window that may be present. An airplane electric door according to the invention has a locking system provided with means for locking a safety catch and a system (200) for coordinating door movements having a single actuating electric motor (2), a cylindrical support (501) having a vertical rotation axis (Z?Z), said support (501) being intended to be rotated by the motor (2), and a fixed guide (91). The support (501) has at least one guideway (511) connected to the arm (6), this guideway (511) being at least partially helical along the vertical axis (Z?Z) of the support (501).

  • Patent number: 9783311
    Abstract: The objective of the invention is to replace the rope bar of the door evacuation slide with individual connections. According to a preferred embodiment, the mechanism for arming/disarming an aircraft door evacuation slide (1, 15, 16) includes two releasable connectors (21) disposed to either side of the base of the door and each includes two half connectors (21s, 21i), a so-called upper half connector (21s, 41, 4a, 42) rigidly connected to the door (1) and having an attachment device (33) for attachment to the slide, and a so-called lower half connector (21i) fixed to the cabin floor (6). Each upper half connector (21s) includes a movable inner part controlled by a ring (43) and housed in the corresponding lower half-connector (21i). The mechanism can also include an electric motor coupled to two rods (31), each rod (31) being capable of rotating the control ring (43) of each upper half connector (21s) between two angular positions: an armed position and a disarmed position.

  • Publication number: 20100294888
    Abstract: A panel (1) includes a plurality of retainers (7) along its lateral sides, these being intended to engage, in the closure position of the panel, with corresponding retainers located on the frame structure of this panel. The panel includes at least one beam (3), a longitudinal end portion of which has a slot (15) emerging in the end face of the beam and located at a suitable position for mounting a retainer (6) directly on this beam. The retainer includes a retaining part (7) and a mounting part (8) formed by a base, the mounting part forming one body with the retaining part. The mounting part and the slot (15) are shaped such that the mounting part engages tightly in the slot and the mounting part is fastened to the beam by fastening members, particularly nuts and bolts, which are positioned approximately perpendicular to the principal direction of the beam.
