  • Patent number: 5435124
    Abstract: A bracket for mounting an accessory on an aircraft engine is disclosed. The bracket includes a mounting wedge (70) adapted to be secured to the engine, a carrier (120) which is supported by the mounting wedge and in turn supports an end of the accessory, and a lock (190) which is retained by the carrier and is longitudinally translatable with respect thereto between a closed position and a range of open positions. With the lock secured in the closed position, notched, inclined supporting and clamping surfaces (76), (90) on the mounting wedge cooperate with ridged, inclined mounting and locking surfaces (132), (200) on the carrier and lock respectively to clamp the carrier to the wedge. With the lock translated to an open position, the carrier can be mounted on or dismounted from the mounting wedge and the wedge can temporarily but reliably support the carrier and therefore an end of an accessory connected to the carrier.
