Vincent Le-Coq has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10767672
    Abstract: The jack-type lifting system includes a valve for modifying a maximum force value of a lifting jack activated by a protrusion for determining a determined portion such as the beginning of the extension stroke of the lifting jack. Thanks to the modification of the maximum force value, a pressure source thus applies the full force of the lifting jack after a start-up stroke so as to protect a lock of a reverser cowl which has been forgotten during maintenance.

  • Patent number: 10190605
    Abstract: The present disclosure concerns a nacelle for an aircraft turbojet engine that includes a thrust reverser having a cowl displaceable between a deployed position and a stowed position, a fixed structure, and a secondary nozzle. The nozzle includes panels movable in rotation, and hydraulic actuators for sequenced actuation of the cowl and panels. The actuators include a body mounted on the fixed structure, and a rod mounted in the body and is linked to the cowl and panels via a device for transmitting movement of the actuator to the panel. An actuation system having a hydraulic control device controls the displacement of the rod of the actuator. The actuator further includes a device for alternately displacing the rod in translation relative to the body to cause translation of the cowl, or in rotation relative to the body to cause rotation of the nozzle panel.

  • Patent number: 9057342
    Abstract: The invention relates to a system for controlling a plurality of actuators (15) that can displace a mobile panel (13, 17) pertaining to a nacelle (1) of an aircraft, said system comprising at least two motors (16) that can drive the actuators (15). The system also comprises two separate control units (33, 35), each unit being configured in such a way as to control and feed at least one motor that is not fed or controlled by the other control unit. The invention also relates to a nacelle comprising such a system.
