  • Patent number: 6209822
    Abstract: A device (14) for attaching or hooking an engine to an aircraft strut (10) comprises a circular arc-shaped fitting (16), formed from two elementary, coupled portions, which are also circular arc-shaped. These two elementary portions can be separate parts joined by bolts (24). The fitting (16) is fixed to the strut (10) by tension screws (30) and is solely connected to the engine by two connections or links (18). Each of these connections comprises a damping or shock absorber block (36) fixed to a base (40) connected to the engine and connected to one end of the fitting by a spindle (42). A holding part (44), fixed between the shock absorber block (36) and the base (40), is connected to the fitting by a joint (50) with clearance.

  • Patent number: 6059227
    Abstract: A device for attaching an engine to a strut (10) of an aircraft comprises a main attachment structure and an emergency or standby attachment structure (52). The main attachment structure includes a fitting (16) fixed to the strut (10), as well as at least two swivelled rods (18, 20) connecting the fitting (16) to the engine. The standby attachment structure (52), through which no force passes when the main attachment structure is operational, connects directly, with a clearance, the strut (10) to the engine. It e.g. comprises a yoke (54) integral with the strut (10) and passing through a window formed in the fitting (16), or a rod articulated to the engine and to the strut.
