Abstract: A heat shield assembly for a braked aircraft wheel is provided. The heat shield assembly includes a heat shield and at least one spacer having both a main body projecting from an outwardly-facing surface of the heat shield and a clamping element of generally cylindrical shape projecting from the body and passing perpendicularly through an opening in the heat shield. The clamping element can include an enlarged free end so as to co-operate with the body to form an annular groove engaged with the opening in the heat shield.

Abstract: The invention relates to a braking device (1) of an aircraft wheel, comprising a ring (15) which has a plurality of cavities (17) in which actuators (18) are fitted in order to apply a braking force to a stack of discs (11) which extend opposite the ring. The ring is provided with a heat shield (25) which extends opposite a face of the ring directed towards the stack of discs in order to protect the ring from thermal radiation which is generated by the stack of discs. According to the disclosure, the heat shield is provided with holes (26) through which the actuators extend and which have a sectional profile which is formed to reflect the thermal radiation away from the device.

Abstract: A vehicle wheel includes a rim having mounted thereon an inflation valve and a tire. The inflation valve is extended by an inflation channel extending through the rim and opening out into a volume of gas defined by the rim and the tire. The inflation valve is arranged in the vicinity of a flange of the rim.

Abstract: An aircraft wheel includes a rim that is secured to a central hub defining an axis of rotation of the wheel. The wheel includes one or more driving pins that extend from the hub, projecting in a direction substantially parallel to the axis of rotation of the wheel so as to cooperate with a driving member for driving the wheel in rotation. The driving pin is distinct from bolts assembling together parts of the wheel.

Abstract: A braking device for braking a wheel of an aircraft, a hub of which is mounted rotatably on an axle includes a stack of discs threaded on a torque tube which is attached to the axle and equipped internally with a heat shield extending opposite an outer surface of the hub facing the stack of discs to protect the hub from heat radiation generated by the stack of discs. The heat shield includes a tubular body which is coaxial to the torque tube and retaining tabs which are resiliently deformable and secured to the tubular body, each of the retaining tabs and an inner surface of the torque tube including additional raised portions to engage with one another so as to axially immobilize the heat shield inside the torque tube.

Abstract: An aircraft wheel (1) comprising a hub connected to a rim (3) provided with a tire (100), the hub having an outer surface that extends facing an inner surface (4) of the rim (3) and that co-operates therewith to define an annular space for receiving a stack of brake disks including rotor disks having axial peripheral notches, each notch receiving a segment of an axial bar (10) extending projecting from the inner surface (4) of the rim (3), and respective heat shields (20), each in the form of an annular segment, being mounted between the two bars (10) of respective pairs of adjacent bars. Each heat shield (20) includes at least one holder portion bearing against at least one first abutment (19, 119) secured to the rim (3) in order to hold the heat shield (20) in position on the rim (3) elastically.
